December 15, 20253 min read

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.


Why We Celebrate Fighters Like Norma

At Fight Fitness Markham, we believe fitness is about showing up consistently, building strength the right way, and becoming a better version of yourself—one session at a time.

Norma Jean Nowicki is proof that you don’t need to chase perfection to make progress. You just need commitment, patience, and the courage to trust the process.

Congrats, Norma. The entire #FIGHTFAM is proud of you. 🥊💪
