About Dr. Nicole Torosin
PhD in Genetic Anthropology, CPT, CNC
Founder of GNR8 Personal Training
The Science Behind GNR8
Nicole built GNR8 to bridge the gap between genetic research and real-world fitness results. Her doctoral research in genetic anthropology focused on how populations adapt to disease over time, and she later worked in biotech analyzing complex data on how lifestyle factors affect longevity.
This scientific foundation is what makes GNR8 different:
PhD-level expertise in genetics. She understands not just what your DNA says, but what it means for training.
Biotech research background. Experience turning complex data into actionable insights.
Certified trainer and coach. CPT and pre/postnatal certifications ensure that insights translate into safe, effective programming.
Cutting-edge science applied to fitness. Drawing from peer-reviewed studies on genetic variations affecting VO₂ max and muscle fiber composition, Nicole translates science into practical training strategies for strength, endurance, and longevity.
THE Human Side
Nicole’s path to GNR8 wasn’t just academic. After years behind a computer screen, she sought balance through yoga and fitness training. This hands-on experience confirmed what the data suggested: every body responds differently, and sustainable progress comes from a program tailored to the individual.
Her philosophy is grounded in both rigor and empathy. Clients know her as a coach who pairs hard science with practical support: accountability, motivation, and adaptability - to ensure progress is not only possible, but lasting.
Why It Matters
Nicole founded GNR8 because she saw how much time and money people waste on programs, gadgets, and fads that don’t deliver. By combining DNA insights with certified coaching, she helps clients:
Push past frustrating plateaus.
Train efficiently within their lifestyle constraints.
Build long-term resilience and healthspan.
Feel confident in every phase of life - from peak performance to pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
