Fighter of the Month: Norma Jean Nowicki | Fight Fitness Markham
At Fight Fitness, progress isn’t just measured by the scale. It’s measured by consistency, character, and the willingness to trust the process—especially when it’s uncomfortable.
Every month, we recognize one standout member of the #FIGHTFAM who truly embodies what it means to be a Fighter of the Month. Someone who shows up, puts in the work, and lives our core FIGHT values inside and outside the gym.
This month, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on Norma Jean Nowicki. 🏆
What It Means to Be Fighter of the Month at Fight Fitness
Our Fighter of the Month isn’t chosen for being the strongest, fastest, or “most athletic.” They’re chosen because they live the values that create long-term success:
Follow Through with commitments
Integrity to make no excuses to quit
Growth that overcomes bad habits
Honesty & Consistency in effort
Trusting the Process, even on hard days
Norma Jean checks every one of those boxes.
Meet Norma Jean Nowicki
Name: Norma Jean Nowicki
Occupation: Registered Orthotic Technician
Time with Fight Fitness: 1–3 years
Before joining Fight Fitness, Norma already lived an active lifestyle. But what she’s built here goes far beyond activity—it’s strength with purpose.
When asked about her results, she puts it perfectly:
“I am exactly the same weight as when I started… but I’ve gained muscle and strength. I can actually do push-ups now.”
That’s real fitness progress.
She remembers her very first class clearly:
“After my first class I could barely get off the couch for the rest of the day. Now I feel great when leaving the gym.”
That’s the Fight Fitness journey in a nutshell.
Strength Beyond the Physical
One of the most powerful things Norma shared wasn’t about muscles or workouts—it was about mindset.
“Coming to Fight makes me strong emotionally and physically.”
That’s why we do what we do. Fight Fitness isn’t just a gym in Markham—it’s a place where people build resilience, confidence, and belief in themselves.
Favourite Class at Fight Fitness
Norma’s favourite workouts are the FIIT classes with Coach Chris, and for good reason:
“His playlists and positive energy absolutely rock.”
Energy matters. Coaching matters. Environment matters. And when those things align, people thrive.
Advice for Anyone New to the Gym
Norma’s advice is simple, honest, and exactly what new members need to hear:
“Take it slow. If you start too fast or with weights that are too heavy, you will get hurt. Take your time and enjoy the process.”
Sustainable fitness always beats rushed results.
A Quote to Live By
The quote that keeps Norma motivated says it all:
“If you’re tired of starting over—quit giving up.”
That mindset is why she’s our Fighter of the Month.
