Nikki Cloutier

Owner & Head Coach

Nikki built Blue Line Fitness Testing with one goal in mind: to give future first responders a place where they can train hard, learn what’s actually expected of them, and feel supported every step of the way. After nearly two decades working in law enforcement — including roles as a correctional peace officer, supervisor, and deputy director — she knows exactly what the job demands and how to prepare people for it.

Her coaching style is straightforward and practical. She’ll challenge you, teach you what matters, and make sure you walk in on test day ready to handle yourself. And yes — she’ll probably make you laugh while you’re doing it.

Nikki’s background extends well beyond the badge. She’s a lifelong athlete, longtime rugby player and coach, fitness and yoga instructor, and someone who genuinely enjoys seeing people surprise themselves with what they’re capable of. She created Blue Line as a place where beginners feel welcome, returning athletes feel understood, and everyone gets the guidance they actually need — not the cookie-cutter version.

Whether you’re here for your PARE, COPAT, POPAT, SOPAT, APREP, or just want to build the strength and confidence to take the next step in your career, Nikki brings the mix of expertise, honesty, and humour that makes the process a whole lot less intimidating.

” I am very grateful for meeting Nikki from Blue Line Fitness! I have ran both the COPAT course and PARE course. It was a very positive experience and I felt comfortable and encouraged throughout the entire process. Nikki has been an asset to prepare me for my interview. “ – Elizabeth K.
