Nolan was born and raised in LaPlace, La. and entered the Army after high school. He quickly realized that not everyone is created equal in regards to physique, fitness level and ability. His love for fitness was reinforced with his time in the Army as well as his understanding of the differences that comes with individualized fitness. He began his passion for fitness training over 12 years ago and developed a burning desire to assist people in their Quest for health and fitness, but from a more realistic, balanced, and compassionate approach.

In 2005 Nolan opened the Salire Fitness and Pilates Studio. Two months and seven feet of water later he decided to stay and rebuild his studio. Shortly after reopening his studio, he started the Fitness Challenge Boot Camps. Nolan decided to make his approach unique by using this opportunity to donate a percentage of his profits to assist four nonprofit organizations that enrich the lives of the people of New Orleans.
