Ms Nikki Atkinson
Strength & Conditioning Coach
Nikki’s passion for combining smart, structured training with performance and injury prevention began during her BSc in Sport & Exercise Science, completed in the UK in 2013. Her early interest in human movement deepened over five years working as a Snowboard Instructor in Canada, where she fell in love with mountain sports especially snowboarding and mountain biking. After qualifying as a Personal Trainer in 2019, Nikki has since worked with a diverse range of clients ,from mountain sport athletes to everyday movers helping them train with purpose and return to the activities they love with more strength, confidence, and clarity. She holds additional certifications as a Pre & Postnatal Coach and Women’s Coaching Specialist, with a keen interest in supporting women through all stages of life and training. Now a competitive powerlifter, Nikki lives and breathes strength training. Her coaching blends evidence based methods with real-world experience across action sports, rehab, and performance. Whether in the gym or on the trails, she’s passionate about helping people train smarter, reduce injury risk, and build resilience for life and sport. When she’s not lifting heavy, you’ll likely find her on two wheels or hiking her snowboard into the backcountry — chasing adrenaline and alpine views.

Recovery Area
Recovery
Our recovery space is equipped with Normatec compression boots and percussion therapy. $30 for 45 minute recovery session Normatec is the leader in rapid recovery - giving you a competitive edge that only elite athletes have access to. Compressed air massages your limbs, mobilizes fluid, and speeds recovery with the Normatec pulse massage pattern. You will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are moulded to your exact body shape. The session will then begin by compressing your feet, then calves, and then your upper thigh. Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your limb. What are the benefits? INCREASES BLOOD FLOW/ CIRCULATION - Normatec’s patented pulse massage pattern employs three key techniques – pulsing, distal release, and gradients. PROMOTES HEALING AND RECOVERY - Integrate your recovery session seamlessly into your training plan. DECREASES MUSCLE FATIGUE AFTER ACUTE EXERCISE - Flush out soreness and bring oxygenated blood to the part of the body furthest from the heart. When should I use the Normatec? Anyone involved in physical acivity who wants to optimise recovery, promote healing and reduce muscle fatigue. The Normatec is ideally suited for use after physical acivity - directly afterwards or within a few days of exercsie. View details »
