Nolan V. Ferraro

Certifed Personal Trainer

Working with individuals to bring out the best in them is what Nolan Ferraro’s mission is all about. “For each client,” says Nolan, “we strive to redefine fitness. That means not only a physically fit body, but designing a lifestyle that will allow that person to have and do it all.” Nolan has been working with people for over 12 years and designs a comprehensive plan so that his clients can achieve and maintain fitness in all areas of their life.

Raised in Laplace, Louisiana, Nolan enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school graduation and then attended Louisiana State University and the University of New Orleans. In 1994, he received his certification from the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America and immediately began training clients of all ages throughout southeast Louisiana. He is currently a member of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, the Diabetes Association of America, Wellness Councils of America, PT on the NET, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and the prestigious International Coach Federation.

In addition, Nolan started and runs a weight management program called The Perfect Weigh, conducts weight management classes and seminars, and publishes healthy recipe cookbooks. Due to his clients’ asking for more, he has also begun a “CCC” program: Church, Community, and Company Wellness.

In June of 2005, Nolan realized a lifelong dream of opening his own studio, Salire Fitness in New Orleans, just 45 days before Hurricane Katrina struck. I was always a man of deep faith,” he said, “but seeing my dream under seven feet of water was a challenge both mentally and financially for me.” It was at this time that began a journey to create a company that would meet people of all ages and stages of life where they currently are, in hopes of assisting them to where they most desire to be. His desire was to build a company that was shaped around his core values of faith, compassion, vision, and resiliency.

About this time, Nolan developed a passion for life coaching and Pilates. Combining the coaching aspect of getting individuals to where they most desire to be and Pilates, which utilizes breath work along with traction and core strengthening, he developed the mind/body/spirit connection that was missing in his earlier approaches. “I help clients affect drive change in many aspects of their lives,” says Nolan. “Life coaching is perfect for anyone struggling with focus, balance, clarity, and purpose.”
