When you hit rock bottom, you realise the only person who can change you, is you.
Rock bottom is a tool. It’s a life lesson. I am grateful for mine as it taught me the discipline and drive to be better, do better, and get more out of life. I believe that discipline is an important asset because it teaches us how to never ever give up on ourselves. Put simply, it’s the ability to give yourself a command and follow it. It builds a strong mind, and it’s your state of mind that determines the trajectory of your entire life.
A motivated man may be strong, but a disciplined man is unstoppable.
My passion is to inspire, empower, and support you by sharing my knowledge and vast life experience. I want to share my mistakes with you, my struggles, and what I did to overcome these so I can help you discover the secrets to a healthy, fulfilled, happy life. Just as I did.
My story is worth telling because I know so many others who are currently in similar situations that I was. My story is worth hearing because it can inspire those who relate see a path of their own.
My role is to guide, inspire, motivate, and teach you more about yourself. I want to create positive impact in the world, by showing YOU your full potential.
My story begins as a child, where I was always involved with various sports and athletics. My family was heavily involved in tennis and basketball, so this was a normal part of life for me. From a very young age I developed a hunger for competition, and a drive to succeed and better myself.
My personal journey was not linear in any way! I have experienced ups and downs, both mentally and physically. This is what I now understand to be a necessary part of life. Reflecting back now, it was my lowest points in my life that pushed me to change things that weren’t serving me.
I know what it feels like to have insecurities, I know how much it hurts when someone close to you makes a hurtful comment about your appearance. I know what it feels like to have negative internal dialogue that destroys your self-confidence. I have been there.
Are you struggling to make progress in losing weight and choosing the right foods? Are you tired of trying fad diets that don't work? We can certainly relate and what helped change our lives was following a nutrition plan that encourages a healthy relationship with food.
Outward change happens faster when we change from within. Our members have felt so many breakthroughs learning what foods give them and what foods take away from them in regards to their mental and physical health.
You will have a balanced lifestyle that still allows you to enjoy social events with friends and family. We have a lot of tricks and tips to better manage the negative fallout from these, which are very helpful.
Common feedback is "I can’t believe how much food I get to eat and still lose fat" and "I love all my meals and never feel hungry". "It feels like all my cravings have disappeared" ‘ I have so much more energy in the day’ ‘I no longer have IBS, thank goodness’.
After all, the only "diet" that works is the one you can stick to and enjoy for the rest of your life. Our vision is to make this a reality for you.
As you make progress, we regularly adjust your calorie intake each month, tailoring it to your results. This approach ensures that your confidence remains high, further strengthening your commitment to maintaining a nutritious eating lifestyle.
And if you have any questions about your nutrition plan, our 24/7 email support is always available.
Discover the power of movement, not just for a healthier and longer life, but also to enhance your overall well-being.
At Living My Best Life, we believe in daily physical practices that challenge both your body and mind, making each workout an enjoyable, and confidence-building experience. Our goal is to help you create a healthy body that functions optimally.

Hello and welcome to Living My Best Life with Joel and Nicole.
We are so excited to be working with you, guiding and supporting you on your journey to optimum health and fitness. We want you to live your best life, and you deserve to!
With an abundance of training styles and fad diets emerging, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what's truly beneficial for you. We understand this first-hand because we've experienced it ourselves. Through years of exploration, we've learned what works and what doesn't, taking into account the multitude of lifestyle factors that can profoundly affect our health, mood, and fat loss results. From sleep quality and stress levels to hormonal balance and gut health, these factors can significantly impact our overall well-being, trigger unwanted symptoms, and impede the progress we strive for.
Please understand, this is a journey – not a race! We want this process to be enjoyable for you, and we want to get you to where you want to go in the safest way possible for long term success. We encourage you to listen to your body, there will be day’s you feel super energized and excited, and there will be days you don’t feel like training. If your body is telling you to rest…. REST! Your training program is a recommendation, not a to-do list. We understand life happens! If you get back into your routine the following day, you’re still moving in the right direction!
Same goes for your nutrition. If you have an event, birthday party, dinner out with friends, please enjoy yourself! We teach you how to participate in social events while staying on track with your nutrition. We believe in balance, and share all our tips and tricks in our Success Guide eBook.
We go far beyond traditional fitness programs by integrating functional medicine and lifestyle practices into your package. This is because, as certified holistic lifestyle coaches, we care about your internal health too – it matters! Your package includes a My Life consultation from our team of naturopathic practitioners (non-members $149.00), where you receive your very own personalized wellness plan.
This is an essential part of our program that will give you accelerated success in your results and rapidly level up your overall health. We'll deep dive into your gut health, hormones, stress, detoxification pathways, and more to identify any areas of your lifestyle we can optimize and alleviate or remove any existing symptoms. Our naturopaths can administer practitioner-only supplements and send them right to your doorstep. You'll also receive free monthly check-ins from your dedicated practitioner as required to monitor and update your wellness plan.
We look forward to giving you our attention and energy on this journey together and seeing you growing more confident within yourself every day.
Here with you every step of the way. Now start living your best life TODAY!
Lots of love, Joel & Nicole.
"Nicole is the real deal. I absolutely love her integrative mind, body
and spirit approach to health, fitness and personal development.
Since I began working with Nicole early this year, my outlook on
my training has transformed for the better. Nicole has a wealth of
experience and has helped me improve my form, execute new
movements, step outside my comfort zone and unlock my
strength potential (I have hit multiple new PB’S!!!)!
Nicole also deeply appreciates that health is our greatest asset,
and it has been so valuable to have her support and guidance
throughout my journey both inside and outside the gym.
Nicole upholds kindness and compassion in everything she does.
She is personable, passionate, intelligent, and incredibly
inspirational. I LOVE connecting with Nicole every week and
highly highly recommend her as a personal trainer."
"When I initially started training with Nicole, I had one goal in
mind: building my glutes. I had no idea training with Nicole would
benefit me in so many aspects, both mentally and physically.
Nicole is amazing in everything that she does. She is motivated
and hardworking, and her positive approach to life is an inspiration
to those around her. Her energy is infectious. Regardless of how
many questions I ask, she always has an answer. On the rare
occasion that she doesn’t, she dedicates time to thoroughly
researching my query and comes back to me with a detailed
explanation.
The benefits from training with Nicole are not only felt in the gym,
but also in my day to day life. She has taught me the art of mental
resilience and which steps to take in order to get ahead in life.
With Nicole, nothing is unachievable! Together, we have hit PBs
and through always knowing when to push me to my limit, she
has shown me that my body is far more capable than I previously
would’ve thought. In summary, I am so grateful for everything
Nicole does. There really is no one like her. If you are seeking to
build strength, both mentally and physically, train with Nicole!!!"
"I have been training with Nicole for almost 1 year. I am so happy
and proud to have Nicole as my PT. She is very professional.
The train plan is personalized and scientific. I can feel and see
more muscle I gained from our training. She gave me many
advise about diet and mental health too.
Feel so Lucky :)"
Club Manager – Les Mills Takapuna
Nominated Nicole for Up-and-Coming Personal Trainer of the
Year award 2021
"From a standing start, Nicole has walked into the Personal
Training industry and stolen the show. Within 12 months Nicole
has carved out an enviable high-end niche market and has
captivated the hearts and loyalty of all who train with her. Nicole’s
exceptional professionalism, passion and dedication has seen her
rapidly establish herself and one of the most sort after trainers
both within our facility and indeed our 300 strong national PT
team."
"I have been working with Nicole for little over a year now and not
only have I had a complete transformation physically but she has
helped me develop new life style changes which have helped me
mentally.
Before I started working with Nicole I was going to the gym with
no structure and no idea about what I needed to do to get the
results I was after. I don’t think I would’ve gotten the results I did
without her, she pushes me to my limits and has helped me grow
my confidence within myself which is more than I ever imagined."
Retired Nutritionist
"Nicole is an incredibly skilled personal trainer. She knows how to
train you to get the results that you want. She is super profession
in her training and programming and takes the 8me to plan out
your program to deliver results, not just decide on the day what
random circuit you’re going to do to get a bit of a sweat, but not a
lot of results. I have an honours degree in exercise science, and
have been an athlete for many years, but Nicole has helped me
gain more muscle than I’ve ever been able to on my own, and in
such a short period of time. I’ve also really appreciated the holisic
view Nicole takes on with her clients. She understands that your
hour in the gym is only a 8ny part of your day and what makes a
healthy you. Sleep, stress management, gut and hormone health
are equally, if not more important in the results that you’re going
to get, and she guides you in where to go if you need help in
these areas."
"I have been training with Nicole for a little over 3 months now
and I can honestly say that the effort Nicole puts into her clients
to achieve their goals is head and shoulder above the rest.
The comprehensive health plan Nicole sets just makes sense, and
I call it a health plan and not just fitness oriented, she takes a
holistic approach to ensure everything is in check to maximize
results, not just exhausting oneself in the gym.
I personally sort out Nicole to help me get back to my athletic
physic. After reading about her approach and experience with
aesthetics I knew she would be a good for for me.
Nicole is always on time, always prepared, and extremely efficient
on the gym floor (I get through more in 30mins with Nicole then
I have in a 45min session with previous personal trainers).
Easily the best trainer I have worked with."
"Nicole is an amazing personal trainer! When I saw her how
dedicated she was training another client, I thought YES! She is
the one I've been exactly looking for! She is kind, always with a
beautiful smile, amazingly professional and dedicated, and funny!
I had a great time with her in the gym and I got the best result. I
was quite surprised that I don't feel lazy anymore for going to the
gym! The most important thing is that now I believe in my own
strength which I couldn't earn without Nicole's help."
