Today we’d like to introduce you to Torian Nickelberry
Hi Torian , can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My name is Torian Nickelberry, and I’m 32 years old from Memphis, TN. My fitness journey began early, with football and Track and Field at White Station High School (2006–2010) and continued with football at Mississippi Valley State University (2010–2011). Health and fitness have always been a central part of my life. No matter the challenges I faced, sports acted as my therapy.
I graduated from Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in December 2013. I chose Biology due to my passion for science and my aspiration to become a Physical Therapist. I was drawn to Physical Therapy because I’ve always loved helping people, especially those in need of rehabilitation.
After my time in college and sports, I maintained my fitness journey by participating in intramural flag football and regularly hitting the gym. Over time, my body transitioned from skinny to muscular. Each time I went to the gym, people would ask me about my fitness routine. I shared simple tips, though I felt I needed more education to truly help others achieve their best.
Driven by a desire to help others live their healthiest lives, I pursued certification as a Certified Personal Trainer. In May 2020, I became an International Sports Science Association (I.S.S.A.) Certified Personal Trainer. I also earned additional certifications, including Kickboxing Instructor and Sports Nutrition Coach.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting a private gym has been a challenging journey, especially with the rising costs of weights and gym equipment. I’ve had to be resourceful, seeking out bargains wherever possible. Another significant hurdle was developing a business mindset from scratch—I initially knew very little about starting a business.
Balancing my full-time job as a firefighter with managing clients on my off days proved to be overwhelming. I struggled with inadequate rest and found myself stretched thin. To overcome this, I had to learn to balance my client schedule with my work commitments and ensure I incorporated adequate rest so that I could be fully effective as a personal trainer during my off days.
