Nick Charest

Fitness Specialist

After completing an internship with Walker Methodist in 2014, Nick joined our team as a Fitness Specialist at Highview Hills. Specializing in Personal Training at Saint Paul College and Exercise Science at Concordia University Saint Paul, Nick always knew he wanted to work in the healthcare industry. After spending time with the residents during his internship, Nick fell in love with their personalities and the wealth of knowledge they have to share.

Nick enjoys working directly with residents, improving their overall fitness, and making their lives better. In addition to conducting group fitness classes, he works one-on-one with residents, acting as their personal trainer. Nick keeps a favorite quote on his desk: “Success: achieved through effort, determination, and perseverance.” With this in mind, he strives to be a stand up individual who puts the needs of others first.

Outside of work, Nick enjoys sports. Most days you can find him on the golf course, playing baseball, or camping at various Minnesota state parks. He also supports Defending the Blue Line, an organization that helps ensure children of active military members have the opportunity to play youth hockey.
