NIKKI WILSON
SHARK HEAD COACH
Nikki has been with Wilson’s since 2012. She is a Certified Personal Trainer and heads up the Kickboxing program at the MAC. While Nikki shares the same last name as Wilson’s, she is not in the Wilson’s family… but the gym is like a home to her. Not only does she teach many classes and train many clients (adult and youth), she is also the head coach for the MAC Shark swim team.
Nikki grew up immersed in sports and fitness. She started swimming competitively at 5 for Rockwood Swim Club and began instructing and coaching at 16. No matter the age or ability, Nikki strives to help everyone become better versions of themselves. Her clients/students are the most positive things in her life, along with her dogs and beloved KU basketball team, of course. Not only does she motivate, instruct, and support her clients, she says her clients help her just as much. They are a big part of her life and after a debilitating injury in 2014, they continue to show tremendous support. “It’s the community that really sets the “job” apart.”
