MEET THE FOUNDERS
Becoming New Fitness was founded by Nigel Thompson, B.S. Health & Exercise Science (Wake Forest University), and Courtney Thompson, DPT (University of New England), B.S. Kinesiology (Georgia State University).
With backgrounds in strength training, kinesiology, and physical therapy, they bring together science, structure, and sustainability to help women build strong, resilient bodies for life.
OUR MISSION
At Becoming New Fitness, our mission is to help men and women build strong, capable bodies while renewing their minds in Christ, so they can live with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
We exist to simplify fitness, cut through the noise, and give you the tools to transform your body through strength and sustainable habits.
Because this is not just about changing how you look (Although we will do that too😉)
It’s about changing how you think, how you move, and how you show up in your life.
AT THE CORE
We believe true transformation starts from the inside out.
Before you can change your body, you have to change how you think about your health, your identity, and what is actually possible for you.
Many people have been told things that simply are not true:
That their metabolism is “broken”
That their age is a limitation
That their worth is tied to a number on the scale or weight lifted
We’re here to replace that with truth.
Through strength training, education, and a faith-centered perspective, we help you:
- Build muscle and confidence
- Improve how your body looks and performs
- Develop discipline without burnout
- Take care of your body in a way that honors God
Because this is about becoming stronger, wiser, and more aligned with who God created you to be.
THE HEART BEHIND IT
Hi, I’m Coach Nigel, your new favorite Personal Trainer & Strength Coach and co-founder of Becoming New Fitness.
Over the years, I’ve worked with women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond who felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure of what they should be doing.
Not because they weren’t trying.
But because they didn’t have clear direction.
What I’ve learned is this:
Most women don’t need more motivation.
They need clarity.
They need to understand:
- What actually works
- Why it works
- And how to apply it in a way that fits their life
That is what I help provide.
Through simple, structured strength training and personalized coaching, I help women stop second-guessing themselves and start building real confidence.
Because real transformation is not just physical.
It’s learning how to:
- Trust yourself again
- Show up consistently
- Take ownership of your health
And realize that you are capable of more than you think.
BUILT ON FAITH
My faith is the foundation of everything I do.
Not in a forced or overwhelming way, but in how I guide people to see themselves differently.
Because when you understand who you are — and whose you are — you move differently.
You think differently.
You live differently.
Taking care of your body is not about vanity.
It is about stewardship.
It is about honoring what God has given you and using your strength to live with purpose.
This is about becoming stronger in every area of life.
