Nicci Francis is an AFAA-certified Group Fitness Instructor, ACE-certified Personal Trainer and Weight Management Specialist, and NASM-certified Stretching and Flexibility Coach and Certified Nutrition Coach. She is a licensed Zumba® instructor (including Zumba Gold®, Zumba Kids/Kids Jr.®, Zumba Glutes®, and Aqua Zumba®); licensed CIRCL Mobility™ instructor;  licensed WARRIOR Rhythm™, WARRIOR Strength™, and WARRIOR Combat™ instructor; and licensed WERQ® instructor. She is currently working toward her RYT-200 yoga teacher certification and SEL*F (social emotional learning facilitator) certification.

 

Nicci is also a school librarian in Oklahoma, where she lives with her husband and two of the best kids anyone could ask for. 

​

A semi-reformed couch potato, Nicci has completed five half-marathons to date, even after swearing off running ever again after her first half was completed in 2005. Twelve years later, she was convinced to try again. 

​

Her interests include running, lifting heavy things, punching and kicking imaginary opponents (preferably to a good beat), dancing, reading, napping, and tacos. She loves watching people smash their goals, and gets a ridiculous amount of joy from watching people accomplish things they thought were impossible.
