Wilson is MX3 Fitness’ in-house competitive bodybuilder. Early in life, as an amateur athlete in basketball, football, baseball and wrestling, his coaches inspired him to push beyond his expectations, both physically and mentally.

Wilson uses those same principles as the foundation of his personal training practice. With his specializations in bodybuilding (both professional and novice), weight loss and mobility, Wilson helps his clients push beyond what they think they are capable of while keeping a keen eye on technique, range of motion and the mind-muscle connection. He has coached a number of clients to place in bodybuilding competitions and has a proven track record of helping his clients meet their goals – whether that be a competition trophy or just looking great for a wedding.

Nina started her fitness career as a group exercise instructor and personal trainer back in 2016. Her driving focus at the time was to find ways to bring better fitness disciplines to in-office professionals who often don’t have the time for an active lifestyle – including herself, a former biotech project manager.
Through her deep understanding of that environment, she creates realistic, fun and rewarding programs for her clients that are always challenging, but also feel within reach. Variety is a critical component to Nina’s workouts, as she looks to activate a wide range of muscle groups, not only stimulating weight loss or muscle growth, but also better posture, balance and overall endurance.
Nina is currently taking new late morning and midday clients.
