Nikki moved to San Antonio, Texas at the age of 18 to enroll in community college. Nikki applied to creative writing courses in a few colleges and got accepted. Her grades were high enough to enroll at any good public university. But, she did not have a lot of money to spare and could not justify the cost of studying a course without a clear professional aim in her mind.

While studying at community college, Nikki started bartending, waiting tables, and participating in promotional events and eventually dropped out as the demands of her job increased.

Boyfriend / Spouse

Nikki has dated –

1. Nathan – In a July 2016 video, Nikki talked about relationship baggage where she admitted dating an English guy named Nathan for 2 years. She did not give away information about his last name or profession. Nikki shared that she bought her ex-boyfriend, a white Ford Fiesta in her name while they were still dating. After they broke up, her ex-boyfriend was caught driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) that eventually got him deported to his country. She later found out that Nathan had not made payments on his car in 8 months that radically ruined Nikki’s credit score.
2. Christian Guzman (2014–2016) – Nikki and fitness YouTuber Christian first got to know of each other when they participated in the same bodybuilding competition. Christian later found Nikki online, and the two became friends. They started dating in 2014 when Nikki also started her YouTube channel. Christian was often spotted in her videos in the background. The couple first showed signs of drifting apart for a brief period in 2015 that blew over quickly. They broke up a few days before each other’s birthdays in February 2016. Since Christian was the one to initiate the break-up, Nikki was left blindsided. The two ran into each other again at the Los Angeles YouTubers Retreat in August 2016. They posted pictures together at a beach in Hawaii on their Instagram accounts in September 2016 to announce they were officially back together as a couple. Merely a month after renewing their relationship, Christian created a YouTube video accusing Nikki of betraying his trust and hence confirmed the end of their association. To give her side of the story, Nikki created a (now deleted) video in which she spoke about one night of drunken fooling around with another guy in May 2016. The person she got involved with was possibly one of Christian’s close friends. Although Nikki withheld that information from Christian initially, she later came clean, but Guzman did not handle this information very well.
3. Miles Sullivan (2017–2018) – Nikki was introduced to Miles at a nightclub in Los Angeles by their mutual friend Sterling just a few days after she moved to Los Angeles. They first met in February 2017, at the club and went out on their first date on March 6, 2017. Although Nikki was hesitant to get into a serious relationship, the two started spending so much time together that becoming an exclusive couple was inevitable. Professionally, Miles runs a digital and affiliate marketing agency in Venice Beach, California as well as creates rap music on SoundCloud. The two even got matching tattoos on their wrist. They did not move in together but started living in the same apartment complex. The couple broke up in June 2018. Since their break-up was amicable, they continue to see each other because as of 2019 they were still residents of the same building.

Best Known For

• Creating Fitness related content on YouTube since 2014
• Her career as a Vlogger and gaining a massive following on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook

Personal Trainer

• Nikki frequently shares that she played no sports in high school. She never participated in school sports like volleyball, basketball, soccer, gymnastics or dance and never even ran until the age of 21. Her high school PE credit was participation in the school marching band. She justifies lack of early physical activity as the reason behind her clumsiness while performing some exercises even as a Fitness Youtuber.
• She was typically a party girl who liked to drink a lot in her teens. Tired of frequent hangovers and the way her body felt, Nikki was inspired by the sight of new age fitness models in the late 2000s because they were lean, feminine, and muscular.
• She started lifting weights at the age of 22 and started competing in shows to train for specific goals within an end time in mind. In the early years of her training, she used to train legs 3 times a week and upper body 2 times a week.
• After her breast augmentation surgery, her doctor advised her to stop training her chest because she felt uncomfortable whenever she attempted to train that body part. Once her YouTube career gained traction, Nikki took time off from competing and hired another YouTuber Omar Isuf to create a powerlifting plan for her so she could gain more strength on compound lifts.
• Between bulking and cutting, Nikki’s heaviest weight has been 120 lbs. Although she went through a phase of being skinny fat in her teens, she never really underwent a radical physical change in terms of body weight. Her weight usually fluctuates within a 10 lb range. Her leanest body fat percentage was 18% while competing. After she stopped competing, Nikki was happy to maintain around 25% body fat. When she gains weight, the Youtuber tends to hold fat around her love handles, back, and hips.
• Most days, Nikki likes to plan her own workouts and trains the body parts she feels like training. She primarily focuses on her lower body. Occasionally Nikki takes to High-Intensity Interval training but prefers steady state cardio on most days. Her preferred cardio machine is either the Stair master or the Treadmill on a steep incline.
• Nikki has been through phases of extreme dieting while competing and hence prefers to eat intuitively ever since she stopped participating in fitness competitions. She understands how to estimate portion sizes keeping in mind the macro requirements and corresponding calories.
• She usually adds Splenda or Stevia to her coffee. Carbonated drinks help her curb cravings. While residing in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, she usually trains at No Limit Training Facility.

3. She is a natural brunette who likes to color her hair blonde even though she claims it is a very high maintenance process.
4. In 3rd grade, she wanted to be an Egyptologist because she loved the movie The Mummy (1999). She wanted to be a Zoologist in 5th grade because, at that time, she was obsessed with animals. In 8th grade, she wanted to be a writer which remained a professional inspiration for a long time until the end of her teens.

7. She used to have deep forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet and laugh lines around her mouth at the beginning of her fitness career. Later, she started using Botox and under eye fillers since the age of 24 to mitigate the appearance of what Nikki shared was a hyper-expressive face. She has also admitted to using lip fillers.

Her then boyfriend Miles also got the same tattoo on his wrist.

Christian Guzman gifted her pineapple stuffed animal after they got back together in the perpetuation of that inside joke.
