I’m Nicola and this is Peak Fitness & Training

This business reflects and meets the needs of the local community in terms of positive mental health, fitness and links massively to the well-being of all individuals and creates opportunities that have not been available in the past. I have observed Nicola at work, and she ensures that the fitness and swimming classes she supervises are professionally managed, fully inclusive and open to all participants regardless of age, ability, gender or ethnicity.

Nicola provides an outstanding service and commitment to helping individuals reach their target. Her knowledge and guidance are exceptional.

My Husband and I are both profoundly deaf, Nicola is a very patient and understanding to our needs, making sure that we are looking at her, she has adapted to some sign language to help us, she is an amazing coach giving her time which is very often over run, but she never minds. Her client’s successes are a testament to her hard work and dedication to coaching, above anything else, she is a lovely person with a caring manner.

Nicola always has the time, knowledge, patience and understanding to deliver a great training experience. She has development a bespoke training programme which has allowed myself to achieve my personal goals in 2023. It has been challenging but in an achievable way, which goes to show how she understands everybody’s individual abilities. This all done with a smile on her face which seems to make anything possible.

I have been a client of Nicola’s for many years and have seen the benefit of her expertise for both me and many of her other clients. From seeing her take experienced swimmers to a higher level to taking adult non-swimmers to high level of competency in a short period she has benefited the full spectrum of sports people in Suffolk. The breadth and depth of her expertise is evident in how I’ve seen her business grow and diversify and, as a result, her reputation and the reputation of Peak Fitness and Training precedes itself. I have personally benefited from being a massage client, allowing me to follow my pursuits pain free, and also by joining Peak F&T on cold water retreats. I have seen the positive effect on fellow client’s mental health as a direct result of Nicola’s endeavours. I believe Nicola and Peak Fitness & Training would be a deserved recipient of this award.
