¡Hi, i am Nels!

Welcome to this space that represents much more than physical training!

I am Nelsi Pamela García Tapia, but everyone calls me Nels. I am Dominican at heart, a trainer, coach, and guide for women seeking to reconnect with their strength, their energy, and their bodies.

Today I live in New York, but my story began long before… in the Dominican Republic, where I learned to move, to fall, to get up, and to find purpose through movement, structure, discipline, and training.

I'll tell you about myself!

Since I was little, movement has been a part of me: ballet, oriental dance, contemporary dance, singing, and sports. I've always expressed myself through my body.

I studied Business Administration in the Dominican Republic and started in the corporate world, but I was missing something… and I found it in training.

That's where my transition began: I got certified, trained, failed, learned, and grew. I started working in gyms and as a home coach in Santo Domingo. And that's when I knew: my passion was helping women build physical and emotional strength.

I've been a bodybuilding competitor since 2016. This experience taught me that growth has no limits when there's discipline and self-love.

This is how BIOINDIVIDUAL was born, a preparation program for natural bodybuilding athletes, where I design personalized plans that respect your genetics, lifestyle and real goals.

Fun fact: I'm a fan of inline skating and I teach in-line skating as an expert. It was my first love of movement; it taught me balance, patience, and joy even when I fall.

My process!

My journey has been a mix of discipline, stumbles, small wins, and a lot of faith.

After moving to NYC, I doubled down on my education and growth.

I got certified as:

NASM Certified Personal Trainer
StrongFirst SFG1 Kettlebell Instructor
Pre/Postnatal Training Coach
Mobility & Functional Strength Specialist

Today, I coach at Chelsea Piers Fitness, one of NYC’s top gyms. From there, I bring my roots, my vision, and my energy to help women create a lifestyle that feels aligned and sustainable.

¿Why Nels Fitness?

Setting your own pace is also an achievement. Don't sabotage yourself!

Nels Fitness isn't just a program: it's a movement.

It's for women who aren't afraid to start from scratch and have decided to train with intention, structure, and clear goals.

Because you are unique. And so is your body.

From this vision, the BIOINDIVIDUAL TEAM was born, a community of women who train strength and nutrition through self-listening without magic formulas or punishments, only real discipline, consistency and authentic support.
