Meet Nicole Twyman | Health & Wellness Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole Twyman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole, what do you want your legacy to be?
I want my legacy to be defined by empowerment and transformation, particularly for Black women over 40 who have often been underserved in health and wellness spaces. I want to be remembered as someone who created a supportive and nurturing community that celebrates our unique journeys and encourages us to take charge of our health with confidence and joy.

The legacy of Fit, Fyne & Fabulous is about more than just weight loss; it’s about instilling lifelong habits that enhance well-being, both physically and emotionally. I hope to be remembered as a beacon of positive change, who helped women discover their strength, embrace their beauty, and live their most fabulous lives. Through my work, I want people to recall not just the transformations but also the warmth, support, and sisterhood that empowered them to achieve and maintain their health goals.

Above all, I want to leave a legacy of love and empowerment, where every woman who interacts with Fit, Fyne & Fabulous feels valued, understood, and inspired to achieve her best health and happiness. This is the impact I aim to have—creating lasting change one fabulous diva at a time.

What should our readers know about your business?
Fit, Fyne & Fabulous is a wellness community that uniquely caters to Black women over 40, focusing on holistic health and well-being through custom meal plans, fitness routines, and spiritual encouragement. What sets us apart is our dedication to addressing the specific health challenges and cultural needs of our community. We don’t just offer fitness and diet plans; we build a supportive network that empowers women to achieve their health goals while celebrating their heritage and identity.

What I’m Most Proud Of: I am incredibly proud of the community we’ve built. It’s a space where women find not just health guidance but a sisterhood. They come for the fitness and stay for the friendships, support, and shared growth. Seeing members achieve their health goals and gain confidence is profoundly fulfilling.
Journey and Challenges: Getting to where we are today was not easy. The journey involved navigating the complexities of health disparities among Black women, tailoring programs that address specific risks such as hypertension and diabetes, and doing so in a way that’s accessible and culturally relevant. Overcoming these challenges required listening intently to the community’s needs, continuous learning, and adapting our approaches.

Lessons Learned: One key lesson has been the importance of community feedback. This input has been vital in refining our offerings to ensure they truly benefit our members. Another lesson is resilience. In the wellness industry, trends change, but the core need for health and community remains—staying true to our mission has guided us through fluctuations.

Our Brand and Message to the World: I want the world to know that Fit, Fyne & Fabulous is more than a fitness program; it’s a movement towards lasting health equity for Black women. Our approach goes beyond typical diet and exercise, incorporating aspects of mental and spiritual well-being that respect and elevate the whole person. It’s about creating a legacy of health, empowerment, and joy for a demographic that often goes overlooked in mainstream wellness.
Fit, Fyne & Fabulous is not just about changing bodies but about changing lives, providing tools, and a community that supports women as they journey towards their healthiest, most fabulous selves.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are many pillars of support in my journey with Fit, Fyne & Fabulous, and I’d love to take this moment to extend a heartfelt shoutout to several key influences.
Firstly, the incredible community of women who participate in Fit, Fyne & Fabulous — the members of our sisterhood. Their commitment, resilience, and shared experiences fuel the spirit and success of our programs. They’re not just participants; they are the very heartbeat of what we do, providing daily inspiration and motivation to each other and to me.
I would also like to recognize Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a powerful network of women dedicated to public service with a focus on enriching the African American community. My involvement with Delta has profoundly shaped my leadership skills and community focus, which are integral to the values at Fit, Fyne & Fabulous.
On a more personal note, my faith has been a cornerstone throughout my life and this journey. The teachings and community within my church have provided a strong foundation of support and guidance, reinforcing the message of love and service to others.

And lastly, my grandmother deserves a special mention for influencing my approach to service I am particularly grateful for the profound impact my grandmother, Sister Annie Mae Southall Dunn, had on my life and by extension, on Fit, Fyne & Fabulous. She was a true worshipper whose love for God and gospel music profoundly shaped my own faith and values. As a child riding in the back seat of her Buick, I was enveloped in the sounds of her favorite hymns and taken along to countless church-related activities. This immersion in a life of faith and service under her guidance was invaluable.

My grandmother was also a remarkable example of generosity and community service. She was a giver in every sense of the word, always leading by example. Whether she was baking her infamous 7up cakes for everyone she knew or driving around Algiers to help those in need, she embodied the spirit of selflessness. Her actions taught me the profound impact of giving without expecting anything in return—a principle that lies at the heart of Fit, Fyne & Fabulous. Her encouragement and the responsibilities she guided me into at church were my earliest lessons in leadership—preparing me to one day lead my own community.

She was also incredibly resourceful, a woman who could bake a cake and fix a fence with equal skill. This blend of grace and grit has inspired me to approach my business with the same versatility and resilience. In honoring her legacy, I strive to empower the women in our community to embrace their strengths, care for their health, and serve others, just as she did.
In reflection, my grandmother didn’t just influence me; she left a blueprint for how to live a life of faith, service, and love. It’s this foundation that has shaped Fit, Fyne & Fabulous into a community that uplifts and empowers women to lead healthier, more fulfilled lives. I am eternally grateful for her wisdom, love, and the lessons she imparted, which continue to inspire and guide us all.
