I came to Atlanta Barbell October 2015 wanting to lift heavier and get stronger. After participating in various outdoor bootcamps and crossfit gyms, my lifts were stagnant and my numbers hadn’t changed in over a year. Under Niki’s guidance,my squat has already gone up 60lbs, my deadlift 40lbs, and I am still working my way up. I am blown away by what I have accomplished in such a short time. Niki is an amazing coach and a wonderful person. I enjoy our sessions together because I always learn something new and Niki’s laugh is infectious. Her keen eye, extensive experience, and knowledge of lifting gives me the confidence to move safely ahead into uncharted numbers. I am also working with Niki on tracking my food with the goal of building muscle and losing fat. While I typically dislike any type of food plan or diets, Niki has tailored a program that is realistic and manageable on a daily basis. By checking in weekly she makes adjustments and recommendations to keep me on goal. Overall, Niki is a wonderful person whose passion for lifting makes her a great coach.
