ABOUT ME

Nikki Wheatley Fitness

I am a former 5 year division I student-athlete, I played for the University of Nevada Las Vegas women’s basketball team. I started playing basketball at the age of 5, and haven’t been able to put a ball down ever since. In high school, my passion for basketball eventually introduced me to new passions -Fitness & Nutrition. My desire to enhance my athletic performance connected me with elite trainers and dietitians that transformed my perspective on what reaching optimal performance truly entailed. At the age of 16, I dramatically shifted the way that I ate and the way that I trained. I began to use my food as a source of fuel; eating to fulfill my goals not to just fill my belly! Simultaneously, I began to train with intent; eliminating unstructured training sessions and replacing them with strength & conditioning regiments that’s aligned specifically with my goals.

​This lifestyle-shift proved to be immensely effective and I gained 10 pounds of lean muscle within a year, while simultaneously dropping my body fat percentage by 5%. I am now 23 years of age, and over the past 7 years I have stayed committed to this lifestyle in order to enhance my athletic performance at the Division I level, put on lean muscle, and drive down body fat percentage. Now that I have completed my collegiate career, there is no better time than now to share this knowledge and assist others in surpassing their goals and attaining a lifestyle driven by health & wellness!
