Nutrition and Fitness for Your Way of Life…

Nicole Kerneen

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

I am a registered dietitian and certified dietitian, certified personal trainer and a certified specialist in sports dietetics. My approach to my practice is completely holistic. This is extremely vital to my work ethic and philosophy. The mind and body must work together to create any sort of change. When clients have a better idea of how food correlates to their beliefs, lifestyle habits, and health, they naturally feel empowered and inspired to create lasting behavior change.
I look forward to the opportunity to working with you and creating a healthy, fun, nourishing and balanced eating/fitness plan for a lifetime of success!

Client Testimonials

Nicole gives me so many tools and such useful information that help me succeed with my fitness and health goals. I've been working with Nicole since 2008, and she truly helped me to change my life!
-Jim L.

Nicole, a potential client emailed me and asked what its like working with you. I told her that she's a real toughy. She'll challenge you and gently take you where you didn't think was possible. I also told her, you may not always like her, but you'll always get what you need! I hope that was ok - love ya! Deb

 

I began working with Nicole when I was in my mid-40’s, active and pre-menopausal. My goals were twofold – to improve my daily physical and mental performance and to reduce the potential impact of menopause. Nicole helped me rework the type of food I ate and retool my daily intake to include more protein. She also helped me structure post-workout meals and snacks to maximize outcomes. Her recommendations were easy to implement. Now in my mid 50’s, I’ve been able to consistently maintain muscle mass and a healthy weight for many years and have never felt better.

-Jody L.

Fitness to every session. She listens and asks the right questions so she can tailor each session to meet her clients needs. Her ability to motivate and inspire people is what has kept me coming back for the past 17 years! She trains from her heart and is committed to my personal success.

-Bridget K.

Nicole is so skilled in working with the client to find a client-focused solution, informed by science and relevant to the person. Nicole has been an influential part of our efforts to have nutrition become a key component of an integrated approach to managing the health and fitness of our firefighter population.

I Know What I Should Be Doing But…..

I Know What I Should Be Doing But…..

  Client: “I know what I should be doing, but I can’t seem to do it or stick to it?”  Ugg…. the dreaded should word…So many people tell me this when they are calling to inquire about my services. And many of my new clients will lead with this statement at our...

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn How it Works!

Do you work virtually with people?
Absolutely! We can decide how we work together. I can work with you however you wish, phone, skype, facetime, or zoom.
Do you accept insurance?

I currently do not accept insurance in my practice. 

I have lots of injuries and limitations. Is Personal Training for me?
Absolutely. One of my passions is helping people be active in any current state they are in. Too often we focus on our limitations and ignore all the possibility that we actually have. This is my main philosophy as we are always working with our bodies and never against.
I hate exercise and I know I need to. What do I do?
Awesome! So glad you are here. We’ll spend some time looking at your exercises practices in the past, your beliefs about exercise, your ideals around exercise and find out what motivates you and what doesn’t motivate you. From there we’ll discover an exercise plan that more suitable to where you are at right now!
I prefer working out at home and I travel a lot for work, how can I maintain consistency with my exercise?
Perfect! One of my favorite things is creating easy to follow, home programs that require no equipment and can be done in small spaces if need be. I always take your entire lifestyle into consideration when planning any exercise or eating plan for my clients.
But I hate vegetables. Don’t make me eat them!
Great, I won’t. When it comes to nutrition, we can get creative as to how we receive certain nutrients we need. I’m not a fan of making anyone eat any particular thing no matter how nutritious it is. We have access to so much variety of food. There isn’t one way to eat nutritionally balanced. And that means including pizza and chocolate. Balance is always the goal and we can find that in countless places.
I feel shame around my food habits. I know I need a change, but its hard for me to talk about and admit.
All the more that I want to work with you! You’ll never receive judgment on what you eat or how you eat. This is all about exploring the why’s. Where are you at when you are eating? Where is your mind when you are eating? What is happening in your day that may or may not affect your food choices? Are you distracted? Are you present? Are you present and also in your body – most people live in their head and have a huge disconnect between their body and their mind. This disconnect usually is a cause for a lot of our choices. We’ll also discuss your beliefs around food as well or certain food practices. And most importantly, we’ll help shape a more balanced perspective and empowered self around food, your body and life in general through the process!
