Nick Gifford
CF-L3 | Owner and Head Coach
I opened Gifford Fitness in 2016, and have been riding the wave every day since. The gym is my happy place where every day I get to come in and work alongside people I respect, and help people I care about.
I absolutely love watching people win. My entire day is structured around helping people win. If I do my job right, and I put the right people in the right places, set up the client and the coach for success, then I get to do my favorite thing over and over again – and that’s watching people win. In a world full of unwanted feedback, negativity and constant comparisons to “should’ve” and “could’ve” drive-by commentators, I aim to help people win on their own terms. I want my coaches to win, and I want our clients to win. Sometimes that’s just walking through the door, or getting upside down for the first time, or going after that job you’ve always wanted, or maybe just telling yourself that you won, and that you’re proud of yourself.
I get great satisfaction in helping people of all ages and from all walks of life realize their true potential as a parent, a sibling, a teammate, a friend, and as an individual. I found my interest in health and fitness at a young age, and that interest has blossomed into my passion. Helping people is my calling, and it is why I have chosen to live the life of a coach.
Today, Gifford Fitness is home to the curious, both staff and clients, who express their interest in fitness as fun, creativity, exploration, and play. We’ve built a home that brings this unique way of training, fitness, and lifestyle to growing kids, driven teenagers, and hardworking adults. It is our home, and I am very proud of it.
