Who We Are
everyWoman Fitness is a collaboration between Nikki Kimball and Kami Semick, two former elite athletes and a sports oriented physical therapist (Nikki) creating strength training programs for women.
How We Met
The 2005 U.S. National 50-Mile Trail Championship brought together the best ultrarunners of the decade. Thirty miles into the race, Nikki Kimball and Kami Semick met on a steep, unrelenting climb — and instantly fell into step. Shared effort turned into conversation, and that conversation never stopped.
Their race-day partnership revealed deeper common ground: a belief that sport could be a catalyst for meaningful change. At a time when female athletes earned pennies compared to their male counterparts, they quietly championed gender equity. Soon, they realized their combined platform could create impact far beyond competition — from raising funds for AIDS orphans through South Africa’s Comrades Marathon to documenting China’s vanishing Tea and Horse Trail, always pairing athletic performance with social purpose.
Our Mission
No longer racing professionally, they remain committed to creating positive change. Both experienced the challenges of perimenopause firsthand, sparking another shared mission: to help women not just endure but thrive through midlife and beyond. That mission became everyWoman Fitness — a strength training platform designed to help women over 40 build resilience, vitality, and confidence through evidence-based programs that adapt with them.
Meet Nikki Kimball
Nikki is one of the most accomplished trail ultrarunners of her era, with multiple U.S. national titles in trail, ultra, and snowshoe racing. She is a three-time winner of the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run and claimed victory in her first attempts at both the Marathon des Sables and the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc — two of the most challenging races in the world.
Based in Bozeman, Montana, she brings more than 25 years of experience as an orthopedic physical therapist, along with a lifelong passion for running, skiing, coaching, and advocating for mental health awareness — a cause Nikki has championed publicly since 2004.
Meet Kami Semick
Kami Semick is an elite ultrarunner with multiple U.S. national titles and international victories. She won the 2009 IAU 100K World Championships, leading Team USA to gold, and the IAAF 50K World Trophy. While living in Hong Kong for more than two years, she spearheaded the Tea and Horse Trail expedition and united North Face athletes from Asia and the U.S. into a truly international team.
Based in Bend, Oregon, she brings a professional background in management consulting, technology, and food systems. Kami thrives on days in the mountains and purposeful work that blends performance with impact.
