SUMMERTIME = ACTIVE TIME!!

By Nichole Sargent

SUMMER! Life has been full of family, travel, and spending quality time with my kids. As I reflect on the passing of the season (only 2 weeks left until I send my sons back to school), I am amazed by how many active things we packed into such a short portion of the year. My goal this summer was to keep my kids ACTIVE - doing fun things that would challenge their bodies/minds & continue to reinforce our family's emphasis on healthy living.  MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Highlights of our summer included teaching our kids to wakeboard, swimming in lakes in both North Carolina & New York, body surfing on the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia Beach, mountain biking in Washington, Hiking Wallace Falls/St Edwards Park/Yost/Mt Jumbo in Juneau, AK/and upcoming hike at Mt Si in Washington, family runs (2-5 miles), yard games that involved running, bedtime dance parties, playing raquetball at Harbor Square Athletic Club, tennis, visits to the skatepark, and paddleboarding in the Puget Sound. Using a little imagination & a some planning allowed us to experience summer in a healthy way as a family, and at the same time, taught our children the valuable lesson that exercize can be FUN. I hope you were able to enjoy an active summer as well. FALL will be here soon - I'm planning just as many fun FALL activities for our family (think: hiking, biking, skiing, ice skating, & soccer!). Take out your calendar and plan some FUN, active days into your upcoming schedule. Your family (&/or your body!) will thank you!!

About Me View Profile

Nichole Sargent

Teaching fitness classes began as a hobby in 1998, but quickly became a passion for this active mom of two boys. I've taught a variety of class formats in my 14+ years leading group exercise classes; my favorite formats include ZUMBA®, Red Hot Dance Fitness, BootyBarre, BootyBarre Flex/Flow, strength conditioning, indoor cycling, fitness yoga, & bootcamp. I enjoy the diversity of teaching different formats & populations in both group fitness & personal training sessions. I'm an avid runner with a special interest in full marathons & can often be seen hitting local roads & trails for an early morning run. I enjoy an energetic lifestyle which includes travel, dancing, strength training, skiing, boating, mountain biking and hiking. My favorite leisure activity is family time with my husband and sons. Active in my community through volunteerism, I aim to help individuals & families create healthy lifetime habits which result in better health & an improved quality of life. The community I build within my classes/sessions is not typically experienced in 'traditional gym classes' - this is my passion! It's truly rewarding to train clients & see them progress to their highest potential – whether that’s feeling successful in fitness classes, improving functional range of motion, training for an event, successful weight loss/health maintenance, or just making a healthy lifestyle change. I'm a firm believer that exercise can be FUN! Try a class or session with me - you'll leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and happy! Nichole's favorite workout mantra: "Better Health, Better Life!"
