Hi, I'm Nick Kimber, the founder and director of NutriFit Health and Fitness Solutions Ltd. I am passionate about the area of nutrition and thrive on inspiring others to get the most out of life through eating good food!
If you would like to find out more about my academic, athletic and professional background, please read on....
In 2005 I graduated from Deakin University, Melbourne with a PhD specialising in post-exercise skeletal muscle metabolism. Prior to PhD studies, I completed a Masters degree at Lincoln University, focusing on nutritional responses during the New Zealand Ironman Triathlon. I also have undergraduate degrees in Physical Education (First Class Honours) and Science (Human Nutrition) from the University of Otago. During my academic career I have published a number of studies in peer-reviewed journals and presented research at international conferences.
The year after finishing a doctoral degree, I ventured into the business world and founded NutriFit Pty Ltd in Melbourne. Working as a nutrition consultant for NutriFit I provided specialised nutrition advice for athletes across all levels of competition and also for those who desired weight management and/or improved health.
While operating NutriFit in Melbourne I also delivered nutrition workshops and presented health and fitness seminars to corporate clients throughout Victoria and in Sydney. I have extensive experience as an educator in both the fitness industry and as a lecturer in sport science, exercise physiology and nutrition at Universities in New Zealand, United States and Australia.
Since moving back home to Christchurch, New Zealand, I have established NutriFit Health and Fitness Solutions Ltd as a part-time company and work full-time as a senior lecturer in Sports Science, Health and Wellness at Christchurch Polytechnic Institution and Technology (CPIT). NutriFit as a company has a mission to enhance people’s lives by helping them achieve nutrition success.
As an athlete I have competed at a representative level in the sports of basketball, rugby and tennis and have a passion for cycling. In the Australian mountain biking circuit, I have enjoyed success by winning the 2003 Victorian State series title (Vets) and a bronze medal in the 2002 World Masters Games held in Melbourne.
