About Nina
Originally from the Bay Area, my journey into fitness began in high school through coaching soccer and helping friends feel more confident in the gym. What started as a personal interest quickly grew into a deep passion for supporting others in investing in their health and well-being. Since becoming a certified personal trainer in 2015, I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients toward stronger, healthier, and more balanced lives.
I specialize in working with individuals who are new to fitness or feel unsure in a gym setting. My focus is on virtual training—teaching proper form, building confidence, and preventing injury through thoughtful, personalized plans you can follow from home. I believe that every client is unique, and I’m committed to creating a supportive environment that meets you where you are, no matter where you are.
My goal is to empower the people I work with to become the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves—physically and mentally. If you’re ready to start your fitness journey from the comfort of your own home, I’d love to connect and support you every step of the way.

My training philosophy
Success is often achieved through steady, consistent effort. By focusing on the actions we can control, rather than fixating on the end result, we can not only accelerate progress but also reduce stress along the way. This approach leads to more sustainable outcomes and helps us reach our goals more effectively
My training experience
Having struggled with a severe eating disorder in the past, I initially turned to long-distance running as a way to lose weight. While I was committed to changing my body, the process left me feeling drained, unhappy, and disconnected from true well-being.
That began to shift when I discovered weightlifting. I quickly fell in love with the sense of empowerment that came from building strength. My focus gradually moved away from weight loss and toward muscle gain, and that shift completely transformed my relationship with health and fitness.
Through this journey, I’ve come to understand how many people still struggle with their relationship to food, exercise, and their bodies. I would be honored to share what I’ve learned and support you in building a balanced, sustainable approach to fitness—one rooted in self-respect, strength, and joy.

Fun session. Nina is patient and explores ways to make the exercises fun.
Kind, energetic and inspiring. I loved my first session with Nina. I've been sedentary for the past few months. She gave me a great full-body workout involving body weight, free weights, cable pulls and bench work, along with a nice core workout at the end. She is very good at listening to feedback, keeping me distracted through those planks, and giving detailed advice on nutrition. Looking forward to building with her!
Wonderful. I had a great session with Nina. She’s really helpful and she made the entire session fun and enjoyable :)
Nina makes the workouts fun??. Thank you for your beautiful personality and training expertise??
Great First Session. I enjoyed all the information I received from my first session with Nina. Nina knows has a lot of knowledge of not only working out but macros as well. Looking forward to my next session.
Feeling better and better week by week! Nina is pacing me perfectly for my age and ability! I feel noticeably stronger following each session. Thank you, Nina West, and fyt.
Exceeded expectations. Nina West is an ALL-STAR. Knowledgeable to say the least. Polite and friendly
I have had trainers in the past so I know what having a good trainer means. Nina is absolutely amazing - I haven't had such great workouts in a while, I sweat a ton! Nina definitely pushes me but is patient and so kind in meeting me where I am now, but helping me get to where I want to be. I have had 4 sessions so far and I'm glad I found Nina to be my trainer for the next few months - I can totally see myself achieving my goals with Nina! As an added bonus, total fun person to be around, tons of energy and positive vibes and great conversation - especially when you need a bit of distraction to make it to the end!
Qualified, professional, personable! Nina West is a delightful trainer who knows her stuff and sets goals for my age and stage of life that are attainable and practical: balance and flexibility for daily functioning!
Nina is an AMAZING WARRIOR! I can’t say enough about how inspiring she was for me. She was also very warm and encouraging throughout the session but yet still professional and knowledgeable. I left the session knowing that she had just sparked a lifestyle change for me. I’m so excited to continue my fitness journey with her!
Nina is a great coach and super friendly! Highly recommend!
She loves working with people and is immensely qualified! Nina is my trainer for the past year since my move to Seattle. I am elderly and she knows exactly what I need to do to strengthen my body. I can now get myself up off the floor and move with much more agility. Walking is my favorite past time and my endurance is noticeably increased with the guidance of my trainer. Thank you, Nina!!
