About Nina
Originally from the Bay Area, my passion for strength training began in high school. What started as helping friends in the gym and coaching soccer quickly grew into a deeper calling. I discovered how rewarding it is to guide others toward becoming their strongest and most confident selves.
I have been a certified personal trainer since 2017 and have worked with clients from many different backgrounds and fitness levels. My approach focuses on building sustainable habits through strength training, thoughtful programming, and consistent support. I believe fitness should enhance your life and help you feel stronger both physically and mentally.
Now based in Manhattan, I work with clients who are ready to take their health seriously and commit to long term progress. My coaching is designed for people who want more than just a workout. I provide structure, accountability, and guidance so you can build strength, confidence, and lasting momentum.
During our sessions we focus on proper technique, progressive strength training, and creating a routine that fits your lifestyle. Just as importantly, I emphasize mindset and consistency, because real transformation happens when your habits align with the life you want to create.
My favorite exercise
Squats!They are one of the most powerful exercises for building total body strength and confidence in the gym.

My training philosophy
Results come from consistent, intentional action. I focus on controllable habits, sustainable progress, and training that delivers long term results without burnout.
My training experience
My training approach is rooted in helping clients build strength, confidence, and a healthy relationship with movement. I specialize in strength training and muscle development, with an emphasis on sustainable programming that supports both physical and mental well-being.
Through years of hands-on experience and continued education, I’ve developed a coaching style that prioritizes proper form, progressive overload, and individualized programming. I work closely with clients to create training plans that are realistic, effective, and aligned with their goals, whether that is building muscle, improving performance, or establishing long-term consistency.
I’m particularly passionate about supporting clients who want to move away from extremes and toward balance. My goal is to help you train with intention, build trust in your body, and develop habits that support strength, confidence, and longevity. I believe fitness should enhance your life, not consume it.

Fun session. Nina is patient and explores ways to make the exercises fun.
Kind, energetic and inspiring. I loved my first session with Nina. I've been sedentary for the past few months. She gave me a great full-body workout involving body weight, free weights, cable pulls and bench work, along with a nice core workout at the end. She is very good at listening to feedback, keeping me distracted through those planks, and giving detailed advice on nutrition. Looking forward to building with her!
Wonderful. I had a great session with Nina. She’s really helpful and she made the entire session fun and enjoyable :)
Nina makes the workouts fun??. Thank you for your beautiful personality and training expertise??
Great First Session. I enjoyed all the information I received from my first session with Nina. Nina knows has a lot of knowledge of not only working out but macros as well. Looking forward to my next session.
Feeling better and better week by week! Nina is pacing me perfectly for my age and ability! I feel noticeably stronger following each session. Thank you, Nina West, and fyt.
Exceeded expectations. Nina West is an ALL-STAR. Knowledgeable to say the least. Polite and friendly
I have had trainers in the past so I know what having a good trainer means. Nina is absolutely amazing - I haven't had such great workouts in a while, I sweat a ton! Nina definitely pushes me but is patient and so kind in meeting me where I am now, but helping me get to where I want to be. I have had 4 sessions so far and I'm glad I found Nina to be my trainer for the next few months - I can totally see myself achieving my goals with Nina! As an added bonus, total fun person to be around, tons of energy and positive vibes and great conversation - especially when you need a bit of distraction to make it to the end!
Qualified, professional, personable! Nina West is a delightful trainer who knows her stuff and sets goals for my age and stage of life that are attainable and practical: balance and flexibility for daily functioning!
Nina is an AMAZING WARRIOR! I can’t say enough about how inspiring she was for me. She was also very warm and encouraging throughout the session but yet still professional and knowledgeable. I left the session knowing that she had just sparked a lifestyle change for me. I’m so excited to continue my fitness journey with her!
Nina is a great coach and super friendly! Highly recommend!
She loves working with people and is immensely qualified! Nina is my trainer for the past year since my move to Seattle. I am elderly and she knows exactly what I need to do to strengthen my body. I can now get myself up off the floor and move with much more agility. Walking is my favorite past time and my endurance is noticeably increased with the guidance of my trainer. Thank you, Nina!!
