About Nina

Originally from the Bay Area, my love for strength training and fitness began in high school. What started as helping friends in the gym and coaching soccer quickly evolved into a deeper calling. I discovered my passion for guiding others toward becoming their strongest, most confident selves.

 

Since 2017, I’ve been a certified personal trainer, working with clients from all backgrounds to build sustainable, healthy lifestyles. I’m now based in Manhattan, New York, and love working with individuals who are ready to fully commit to their health and personal growth.

 

My coaching is designed for clients who are seeking more than just workouts, those who want structure, guidance, accountability, and long term change. While we focus on building strength and physical confidence, I place equal importance on mindset, consistency, and self trust. Lasting transformation happens when your habits and beliefs align with the life you want to create.

 

If you’re ready to invest in yourself, show up consistently, and make your health a priority, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

“Discipline creates freedom"

My training philosophy

Results come from consistent, intentional action. I focus on controllable habits, sustainable progress, and training that delivers long term results without burnout.

My training experience

My training approach is rooted in helping clients build strength, confidence, and a healthy relationship with movement. I specialize in strength training and muscle development, with an emphasis on sustainable programming that supports both physical and mental well-being.

Through years of hands-on experience and continued education, I’ve developed a coaching style that prioritizes proper form, progressive overload, and individualized programming. I work closely with clients to create training plans that are realistic, effective, and aligned with their goals, whether that is building muscle, improving performance, or establishing long-term consistency.

I’m particularly passionate about supporting clients who want to move away from extremes and toward balance. My goal is to help you train with intention, build trust in your body, and develop habits that support strength, confidence, and longevity. I believe fitness should enhance your life, not consume it.

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!

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.

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!

Christina L.

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!

Kate M.

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!!
