Nicole Richard

AFAA GX, CI-CPT
Nicole Richard has a BA in special/regular education and an MS in psychology (guidance and counseling) at McNeese State University. 

From Nicole: "Having left 10 years of teaching in the LA education school system, I began to pursue a personal health journey 18 years ago with a slow 200-pound weight loss. Then, I began answering God's calling to help others in their journey to wellness, acting as the Associate Fitness Director and a GX instructor at Genesys Athletic Club in Grand Blanc, Michigan, and Group Exercise Director/Co-PT Director at Slidell Athletic Club in Slidell, LA, plus 2 years as GX/PT coordinator at Boerne YMCA. 

"Thirty-five certifications later, here I am still ready to serve others by sorting through what they eat and perhaps what's "eating them" and to challenge them to "STEP OUT OF THE BOX" in their fitness comfort zones."

She is now a member of the Spoga Team and she is ready to serve YOU!
