NIKA Athletics

Fantastic experience: I’m a middle-aged mamma who was afraid to step foot in a gym. I was scared of injury and of judgement. The coaches at Nika are amazing and every day there I feel safe and strong! Lots of class time options and a really positive atmosphere. Highly recommend especially if you’re new to weight training like I was!

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed Nika Athletics , from the owner, Zach, to all the coaches.. Diane, Chris, and Haley . it’s been 5 weeks in for me and I’m feeling wonderful ! I love the knowledge and assistance they bring to the table . I love coming to a place where you are welcomed, no matter what. Thank you to the team!! You’re all so amazing and I can’t wait for my next workout!!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about NIKA Athletics! Back in January, I knew I needed to make a serious change—for my strength, mobility, mental health, and overall well-being. I kept seeing their ads and finally decided to check them out…and WOW, I’m so glad I did! Fast forward four months and I feel like a whole new person—stronger, lighter, more mobility and mentally shaper. I had zero experience with strength training, but Zach (the owner) and his incredible team made me feel right at home from day one. Every coach has been patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in my progress. The semi-private sessions and classes are amazing, and I actually look forward to working out now! Joining NIKA was hands-down the best decision I’ve made for myself in years. I only wish I had done it sooner!

Fantastic experience: I knew I needed to do something but I was unsure of myself & a little scared. Scared of being too over weight, too out of shape, old, too busy, etc. But coming to Nika was the best decision! The trainers met me where I am & are helping me build from there. Finding time to work out is made easy because Nika had so many options. The trainers as well as my fellow members are all so nice. I’m feeling better, a little stronger, & more confident & I’m just getting started!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending NIKA gym routinely for more than a year and I couldn't be more impressed. The staff are all very knowledgeable and helpful in adjusting the programs to assist in each person's capabilities and goals. I cannot say enough about NIKA or the persons involved with it. From the staff and the participants, each and every person is dedicated, friendly and everyone goes above and beyond at this facility. I highly recommend it!!

Fantastic experience: NIKA is a non threatening environment where you can feel comfortable developing the strength, mobility, balance, and flexibility you need as you age. The coaches are great at working with you at your individual ability level and they nudge you just a little bit to exceed your expectations. NIKA takes your goals to the next level!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great community, judgment free zone. It's clear the owners and coaches really care about the gym members and they really go the extra mile to encourage you to reach your goals. A+

Fantastic experience: People here are amazing! They are attentive to your specific situation and everyone makes you feel very comfortable.

Fantastic experience: This program has changed my life. I am a “senior” who had been suffering from back problems. I was taking meds, going to PT sessions and visiting a chiropractor when I found NIKA. I explained my issues and how I needed to build my core to sustain daily activities. A plan was developed and with much understanding and encouragement from the staff, I’ve been getting stronger and stronger. After 8 months of the semi-personal training sessions, daily activities are no longer an issue for me and I no longer am taking meds, going to PT or the chiropractor. I not only feel better but I feel better about myself in general. I’ve also lost weight which I needed to do. Thank you to all the coaches for showing me what I can accomplish when given the right tools and guidance! I highly recommend NIKA. It is not your “typical” gym. It’s a community that is more like family…. lots of support, caring and encouragement while having fun too!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding local gym. The coaches and staff strive daily to ensure each client is appreciated and respected. Definitely recommend group classes, private/semi-private training, & nutrition coaching.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined this gym after just moving to the area and couldn't be happier with our decision. The coaches are amazing and everyone in the gym is so welcoming. The coaches listen to how you are feeling and your prior injuries and work with you to modify your workout and they actually care. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 3 weeks now, and I haven't regretted it for one minute. The coaches are great! Friendly, approachable, and always professional. The facility is clean, but hot! I feel so much better physically and fringe benefit, mind clearer, and more positive. So if you're thinking about it, don't just do it.

Fantastic experience: Not just a gym.....a group of friends. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: Getting a good workout routine was way overdue for me. Coach Kraig at NIKA is really helping me get back on track with workouts that are modified for my strength and skill level. The community at NIKA is wonderful too. It's clear they care about everyone's success. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: What I like about Nika Athletics is that they offer programs for every fitness level. They also offer nutrition programs to meet your weight goals. I joined about 5 Months ago, with the 65 year old group, made a commitment for 6 weeks, and I am now getting close to the 6 Month mark. I highly recommend NIKA Athletics, nice clean gym, great coaches, and friendly people. - José B

Fantastic experience: I’m 69 and wanted to get back in shape for my 70th birthday. I have a wonderful coach, Zach, who accepted the challenge. He varies my workouts and takes a real interest in me and my progress. I haven’t worked out regularly in over 30 years. The other trainers are all very friendly. It’s not like any other gym I’ve worked out at . There are no mirrors and no air conditioning. There are plentiful fans throughout. The gym is always spotless. If you are serious about your fitness, this is the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: I love the camaraderie and everyone is encouraging. It’s nice to workout with people that feel like family, always supportive and sharing advice!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love going to this gym. The coaches are very nice and make you feel like family. They know when to push you and how to work with you to complete your goals.

Fantastic experience: I love the owner, Ashley! She’s so awesome!

Fantastic experience: I have exercised most of my life but to be honest I would eventually stop. I starting going to NIKA and look forward to my workouts. The encouragement I received from Ashley, one of the owners to try their program, she explained NIKA has multiple levels of exercise and I would be able to do. I am training with Zach and can not believe how much better I feel and believe my health has definitely has improved. Thank you Zach and NIKA!!!

Positive experience: I joined this gym to improve my endurance and get better toned. It had been decades since I had been to a gym, so I was a bit nervous. But the coaches and other members are very welcoming and encouraging, and I am definitely feeling the results!

Fantastic experience: I was very apprehensive about doing CrossFit but at NIKA they are great for people any age. They make sure you get a good workout and a safe one as well. I have been going 3 months and I can see and feel a huge difference. I can't wait to go workout.

Fantastic experience: New to exercising at age 66. Would highly recommend Nika for anyone. I have been going twice a week for 3 months and am feeling so much stronger.

Fantastic experience: Wow! What a great experience! From the trainers to the atmosphere — this place is top notch! You can get fit in group classes or with an amazing semi private experience.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Nika Athletics for the last 2 weeks and I’m SO GLAD that I joined! I’m feeling stronger and more confident already. Everyone has been warm and welcoming and it’s all good energy & positive vibes. If you were considering starting, I would definitely recommend it 10/10

Fantastic experience: NIKA is such a welcoming gym! The coaches really truly care about you and your personal goals. You'll never feel judgment here, only encouragement.

Fantastic experience: BETTER THEN ANY GYM AROUND!! NIKA is one big family and they are great in helping me find my motivation and my goals to keeping me healthy and feeling great! All of the coaches are amazing. I love all the times for classes that I can sign up for at different times of the day. Me, I'm a morning person so I love class at 530am. All the coaches are constantly watching to make sure we don't over do it and make sure we are not gonna do something to hurt ourselves. I'm glad to be part of the Nika Family!

Fantastic experience: Visited Nika with a family member to workout and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Every person there was so friendly and made the experience so much better. Would 100% go back whenever I’m in Deland!!

Fantastic experience: I joined NIKA a little over two months ago and I love it. If you are on the fence about joining I say just go for it. NIKA has completely changed any notion I had of what fitness is.

Fantastic experience: Excellent support & motivation! No intimidation here - only positive vibes! Love the staff! They’re all so personable and upbeat! I would recommend this fitness facility to anyone looking to make positive, realistic, & manageable lifestyle goals.

Fantastic experience: The team at Nika is amazing! I love that my personal trainer takes in consideration my goals, what my body can do and he always educates on form. Each session is tough but so rewarding!

Fantastic experience: When I joined NIKA Athletics exercise was not part of my vocabulary much less daily, weekly or even monthly routine. I joined gyms in the past but never found what I needed to thrive. I have now been going NIKA for over two months consistently. This experience has changed my perception of myself and what I’m capable of. Everyone has been extremely encouraging and accepting of me, so much so that my daughter and son are now joining because I want them to also be a part of something that builds them up both physically and mentally. To say I’m happy with the things I’m taking away from this experience would be an under statement. I feel better about myself than I have in a long time and that feeling is only something you get from hard work, determination and accountability. Not being able to keep up was my biggest fear before joining but every workout has modifications to ensure everyone can participate, hopefully knowing this will prevent that fear from holding anyone else back. So YES 5 stars! LOVE this gym and it’s members! I would recommend NIKA to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: My experience with NIKA has been outstanding from the very beginning! The coaches are extremely helpful and work with you to meet your goals. Everyone is eager to help, answer any questions and truly make you feel welcome.

Fantastic experience: Incredible staff and gym! Highly recommend! Very helpful and passionate

Fantastic experience: Nika is the best!

Fantastic experience: NIKA has been a place that’s like a second home! If you allow yourself to grow and be challenged, NIKA is the place to do that! I’m proud to be a NIKA!

Fantastic experience: I am loving my experience that I am having at Nika Athletics. It is more than just a gym, it's a transformative experience, that can be life changing. In just a small amount of time, I have already seen the impact not just in my workouts, but how I perform throughout the day. Also, because I am trying things and doing things that I never thought was possible, I have more confidence to try other things in life. As a result, others around me have noticed these changes, and I am inspiring them. The coaches are amazing! The coaches encourage and really care. So if you are thinking about it, just do it, schedule your intro!

Fantastic experience: Wasn't sure what to expect with Crossfit. My husband and I showed up and immediately felt at ease. Zach's calm and encouraging demeanor was refreshing and Dianne's no nonsense approach was perfect. My husband had several medical issues and Dianne curtailed our work outs to improve his stability and range of motion. What a greet experience NIKA Athletics provides! You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Nika has given me a place to grow. A safe place to work on my goals and my health with people who willingly help instead of judge.

Fantastic experience: Nika Athletics has changed my life for the better! Moving away to college from my family was so hard for me, but Nika Athletics became my home away from home! The coaches are so amazing as well as the athletes!! Such a positive and friendly atmosphere here at Nika Athletics!

Fantastic experience: CF Nika became a part of my life when I needed it the most. I just didn't know it at the time. The founders Kara & Ashley BOTH took a personal interest in me and my health journey. I learned so much about fitness, nutrition, health and things about myself I never knew. Nika is not just a gym...its a family...and if you let it this place will change you. I have been in and out of the box over the 7 years and it always feels like home. #nikastrong

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people.

Fantastic experience: First time ever joining any type of gym community/classes and my experience has been 100% positive. The coaches and members have been nothing but welcoming, patient, and encouraging to a very anxious newcomer like myself. If you're new to CrossFit and worried about not knowing what you're doing and looking dumb, join here! I didn't know how to do ANYTHING, was completely out of shape, am very uncoordinated, and have pretty severe anxiety. If I can feel comfortable and accepted here, anyone can<3

Negative experience: This used to be a great CrossFit box with community focus. Sad to say that is no longer the case. I do Not recommend this box! Most of their posts show people no longer members….wonder why. They only care about the PT big money clients.

Fantastic experience: Nika is not only an amazing gym, the coaches and staff are an amazing addition to the family. The coaches are highly knowledgeable and have no problem working with you one on one to achieve your goals. Most other gyms you walk into with no guidance, at Nika there is always some one there to guide you in technique and positioning to avoid injuries.

Fantastic experience: NIKA is a encouraging gym to help you reach your goals. It is a community, not just a gym. The coaches and staff are always helpful and there for you, they're the best! And the other members, simply the best as well.

Fantastic experience: I had never been to the gym before. In Nika I found more than a gym, I found friends. From the moment you walk in you feel welcome, not judged. The most important thing you learn to take care of your nutrition and your mind. In love with my 6:45 team. Forever grateful to my first personal trainer in my life, Coach Gavin, and grateful to Nika, Stacey, and Zach. Thanks to them I accept myself and I see myself differently.

Fantastic experience: I love it here. Knowledgeable coaches. Great people to work out with. Clean habits especially during pandemic. No one judges you. I am a much healthier 44 year old because of Nika.

Fantastic experience: I'm a new Nika member so I have only been there for a few weeks. I picked this gym after checking out other crossfit locations. The communication and what to expect my first visit was fantastic and that made a big impact on me. When we (my 15 yr old son) arrived for our first day to visit the gym and do a small workout we were greeted at the door, our names were on a welcome sign, water was provided to us which made us feel so welcomed. Everyone in the class introduced themselves to us and made us feel inclusive. The introduction training with Kara is fantastic, unlike other places she wasn't watching the clock and ending our training based on minutes but instead she continued the training until it was completed and we felt comfortable in our movements. Everyone there is so patient! Another important factor for me was stretching before working out. NIKA is big on stretching and practicing the workouts before just being thrown into an intense workout and not having a clue what you are suppose to do. That is my favorite part about working out here. Diligence is clearly important to NIKA and very important to me so that made this fitness facility a WIN for us. The classes are always different so there is no getting bored. Try them out, you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches and people.

Fantastic experience: From my very first workout at Nika, I was hooked. I had never experienced coaches that were so committed and attentive to all of the athletes. Their focus on supporting your fitness goals and providing scaling options creates a welcoming and safe place where you can take your wellness to the next level. The community at Nika is incredible! Everyone is so supportive and encouraging! I am very thankful that I stepped outside of my comfort zone and found the Nika community!

Fantastic experience: Have joined since March of 2019, well informed staff to help make you reach your goals as well teach phenomenal techniques! Great community of support as well welcoming atmosphere! Top crossfit gym! Truly a top crossfit gym with expirenced coaches and staff. Wouldn't go anywhere else in the area!

Fantastic experience: When you walk into a place intimidated and not knowing what to expect, and you keep entering the same place as the years go by, you know they are doing things right! Best fitness decision ever! Nika will not disappoint you. Just take the first step, and you will automatically be part of a big non-judgmental supportive family.

Fantastic experience: I joined this last July. It's been an amazing experience. Everyone welcomed me right away. There are a lot of class times and the coach's ROCK!

Fantastic experience: I truly didn’t know what to expect when I signed up for Nika but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Such an amazing atmosphere and awesome coaches.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Nika Crossfit for one year now and with the help of the coaches and other athletes I have accomplished the goals that I had set for myself and have set additional goals to work on moving forward. The coaching staff and everyone I’ve met there have been extremely supportive and encouraging. I would recommend them to anyone at any level of physical fitness or age. Looking forward to this next year and accomplishing my new goals

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Nika is more than a place to workout, it’s a community. I’ve never felt like really belonged anywhere until I started there. The athletes are friendly and encouraging. The coaches are top brass, willing to help you if you’re struggling with a move or in general, even do it alongside you to inspire you to the best you can at the moment. There is a accommodations for all skill levels and ages. I have never felt judged and leave there feeling better than when I came in. I love that they want you to keep the focus on your journey and not compare yourself to someone else, because you are not them.

Fantastic experience: My first CrossFit experience! I didn't know what to expect, pain, judgement, failure... This team has made me stronger and taught me how to do it the right way. I finally found a workout I love to do with people that encourage me. This is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: CROSSFIT NIKA has been amazing at making me feel wanted and welcomed! I have never been committed to a gym this long and it’s because of the motivation and love that surrounds this gym. Best gym around!!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, staff, and members. Fun atmosphere and motivating environment. Best all around gym in town!

Fantastic experience: Safe space, judge free zone for all age groups. Coaching staff is amazing and welcoming. Clean friendly environment! Great workouts with a bunch of awesome people daily!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of many gyms over the years. I have done many different programs over the years. However, CrossFit Nika is more than a place to push yourself mentally, physically and become a better version of YOU. It is a place to discover who you are and what you want in life and figure out how you will do it! I’m in the best shape of my myself thanks to the coaches at CrossFit Nika!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Nika is amazing! It’s a family friendly atmosphere where everyone is welcomed and supported! It will change you inside and out!!!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, the coaches are amazing and very helpful if modifications are needed. They are all very motivating and have kept me going back for the past 2 years.

Fantastic experience: The only place I love to workout. They have created a culture that welcomes all - strong, weak, young and old. Not only are all welcome - all FEEL welcome. No judgement, all encouragement. In six months, I’ve grown stronger than I ever was after years of working out at other gyms. Five stars all the way! Check them out!

Fantastic experience: You won't find a better group of people. This isn't just a gym, it's a family. A family that will push you to be your best and pick you up when you fall. If you want to get in better shape, the coaches here will set you on the right path. I showed up here almost 300 lbs scared of being judged or looked at funny. I NEVER had that experience. These people took me in and treated me like a human being. They helped me drop weight and learn to be healthier. I'm forever grateful for them all.

Fantastic experience: Gives you a good workout and lots of variety

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! I literally drive past another crossfit gym just to get there! I use to roll my eyes when people said the best thing about crossfit is the community. I thought that’s a lame response. This gym not only makes you feel at home, it motivates you to try harder, push yourself further and enjoy doing it!

Fantastic experience: This place changed my life and upped my game of Jiu-Jitsu! I was always reluctant to try other gyms, until I met the people at Crossfit Nika! You are treated like family there and made to feel important! They will coach you and help you achieve whatever your personal goals are!

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous starting CrossFit with very little athletic ability, but Nika made me feel welcomed and encouraged me every bit of the way! The coaches are the best!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches. Friendly community. Workouts that are about YOUR goals!

Fantastic experience: Love Nika! The coaches are not only great they inspire you to do your best! Great place to be apart of!

Fantastic experience: Best place to turn if you're serious about getting fit and healthy!

Fantastic experience: This place will change you!!! My husband and I have been going to Nika since May this year and we are addicted. The coaches are more than that, they are family and friends. Everyone here are your biggest cheerleaders! The amount of support this group of people bring in our lives is beyond what I could have wished for. Every Coach is knowledgeable and helpful in making you a better athlete. Any injuries? They can modify it for you. We have an awesome bunch at this gym!

Fantastic experience: Great team-based environment that is super supportive and encouraging to help you get your fitness and nutrition goals down. Since joining Nika I have not just lost weight and started seeing a positive improvement in my health but I feel I have stepped into a small family. I broke my foot a year ago and instead of doing PT reaching out to NIKA to start my fitness journey at my own pace and 2 months later my foot has increased mobility, the tendons have healed back much stronger than before and I know I could not have achieved this without such great support from Crossfit NIKA. Looking forward to many more workouts of the day (WODS). Come check it out! Its worth it.

Fantastic experience: Great support for someone who is new to crossfit. Never pushy. Flexible class schedule.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Nika has a great professional and motivational coaching staff whit a genuine desire to help you reach your goals or set up goals for this journey through wellness. The gym is a safe and very clean place full of the most friendly and encouraging members. Good location and parking space.

Fantastic experience: Awesome people and instantly you become family, they worry about you in and out of the gym and push you to be a better you. Super supportive just the place u want to be...

Fantastic experience: Most knowledgeable coaching, family oriented, most friendly and welcoming people you will ever meet. Always a good time at Crossfit Nika. Hands down the best!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, super awesome coaches, and incredible community! Super motivating and always there to help whether it’s fitness related or not!

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a place that pushes you to achieve your best growth in fitness, then Nika is the place. They are more than just a Gym they are a family!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!
