Born and raised on the outskirts of Houston’s East Side, Nick believes anything can be achieved with hard work, grit and determination.

At around 10 years old, Nick started playing baseball and continued to play for 3 years. It was then that he realized his love for sports and camaraderie. From this time onwards, Nick would run track with his cousin in middle school and the beginning of high school. He amplified his love for movement with dance and joining a dance crew for his senior year. Nick went through adversity and climbed an uphill battle with his team to capture a national title in 2013.

Nick wasnt without his own insecurities. Being on the smaller side in terms of size and strength, he felt he could never achieve the goals he wanted until he did something about it. He joined a local gym in 2016 and fell in love instantly. Nick would try several other gyms in Houston until he found his home at Facet Seven.

Nick earned his NASM certification in 2023 and went through an extensive internship through Facet Seven where he learned different types of coaching styles and tactics.

If one thing holds true for Nick its that if you want something bad enough, you’ll obtain it. Whether you want to gain strength, build muscle or simply move better, Nick will help you on your journey to achieve your goals!

"Strength is sacred when it’s earned through discipline."

In this spotlight, we sit down with Coach Dom, one of the core trainers behind Facet Seven — Houston’s Longevity Hub.

Dom talks about his approach to building strength that lasts — not just in muscle, but in mindset. His philosophy blends physical mastery with daily rituals that reinforce the body as a vessel for longevity.

Whether you’re a beginner rebuilding your foundation or an athlete chasing sustainability, Coach Dom’s perspective reminds us that the true gains are the ones you keep for life.

With over 12 years of coaching experience, it's hard to imagine that fitness wasn't always part of Jeraldine's life. Today, she is a wife, mom, Co-Owner of Facet Seven, founder of Fierce Curves Fitness, and is passionate about helping women become stronger, healthier, and more confident through sustainable fitness.

Growing up, Jeraldine was what most people would consider naturally thick. Due to her genetics, she always had fuller hips and thicker legs than most girls. Because of this, she struggled with body image and self-esteem from a young age.

The pressure to be thin eventually drove her to do everything she could to lose weight. Jeraldine spent years running every morning and severely under-eating. Although she lost weight, she did so in an unhealthy and unsustainable way. Instead of becoming more confident, she became more consumed by the number on the scale.

Over time, her perspective on fitness changed. She realized that confidence doesn't come from the scale, it comes from becoming healthier, stronger, and learning to appreciate the body you're given. She stopped trying to fight her genetics and learned to embrace her naturally thick and curvy body.

Today, Jeraldine helps other women realize what took her years to learn herself. She believes fitness isn't about becoming smaller, it's about becoming stronger, healthier, and more confident. As a mom, she understands that every season of life looks different, and she helps women build realistic, sustainable habits that fit their lifestyles.

Jeraldine created Fierce Curves Fitness to provide a welcoming space where women can feel supported, challenged, and empowered. She understands how intimidating joining a gym can be and is passionate about helping women of all ages and fitness levels achieve their goals without feeling pressured to fit a certain stereotype.

At Fierce Curves Fitness, we believe fitness isn't about a specific size or shape. It's about building a healthier body, a stronger mind, and the confidence to become the best version of yourself.

If you're looking for personal training or group fitness classes in Houston that specialize in helping women feel stronger, healthier, and more confident, you've come to the right place.

Nick has been a personal trainer and powerlifting coach for 7 years in the Houston area. He has a passion for training individuals with unique needs and has found success with his clients by emphasizing communication, consistency, and tenacity.

With a background coaching a broad range of clients, he’s found his niche in helping lifters over the age of 60 to retain independent, functional, and adventurous lives with strength training. While many of his senior lifters have never picked up a barbell, yet he has been featured twice on local Houston news with one of his clients, Mrs. Townsend. Despite her rheumatoid arthritis, she has broken numerous state powerlifting records. You can learn more about her here.

Currently an ACSM certified personal trainer, and holding both a BA and MA in philosophy from the University of North Texas, Nick prides himself in remaining teachable even as he teaches others. He regularly attends barbell seminars and has worked with Starting Strength, Barbell Logic, and USAPL.

Further combining his skills and passion, Nick is also a professional powerlifting coach. Taking on the role of programming and coaching a team of lifters of all ages, he not only programs the team for powerlifting meets, but he also helps them at the meets and loves watching them become part of the strength community. His experience has led him to also handle Olympic weightlifters and count attempts at Olympic Weightlifting meets.

Nick has competed in powerlifting off and on since the early 2000s, overcoming congenital spine and hip defects and the pain associated with them. He currently competes in both the USAPL and USPA (drug tested) federations of powerlifting, specializing in the bench press. While still competing in all three lifts, he has qualified for USAPL nationals in bench-only for several years now. He has also competed successfully in football and the discus throw.

He also periodically organizes and runs strength events at Facet Seven EaDo. Recent events have included mock powerlifting meets before official meets, the strength portion of the Fall Fitness Fest, and most recently the first annual Space City SuperTotal, which combined Olympic weightlifting with powerlifting for one total score.
