LWL Studios Coach
Train With Coach Niki Thompson
Background
A former dancer, cheerleader and gymnast, Niki was always active growing up, but wasn’t sure how to bring movement consistently into her everyday life when she became a working professional. Feeling confused by the sheer number of exercise options, nothing felt like a sustainable, long-term solution until she started strength training in 2019, and, more specifically, training with Ladies Who Lift in 2020.
Now, as an NASM and pre-& postnatal certified personal trainer, Niki is passionate about empowering her clients with knowledge that demystifies the weight room and enables them to workout with confidence. With experience training 1:1 in-person and virtually, as well as motivating and coaching small group sessions, Niki is committed to training that is both fun and challenging; motivating and still welcoming.
Niki is also a writing and communications professional, holding degrees in English from both the University of Chicago and University of Virginia. Having worked with household names in CPG, food & beverage, nonprofits, and more, she brings her dedicated client-service mindset and tailored communications skills to her personal training approach.
