Nigel Anderson has more than thirty years of experience in the specialty fitness industry – including product testing and home and facility design. Raised in New York, he was living in New Jersey when a friend told him that Fitness Gallery in Colorado was looking to expand their sales team. He met Fitness Gallery owner, Donnie Salum, in April 2021 and knew right away this was the right place for him; he made the move to Colorado to join the Fitness Gallery team shortly thereafter.

As a product tester, Nigel got to test fitness equipment prototypes for a number of fitness equipment companies – ensuring the equipment met the quality standards needed to be brought to market. He got to test units like the original Curve treadmill, numerous Whole Body Vibration plates, customized strength pieces and many things that never made it to market. He even got to try a prototype of the Cybex Arc trainer at their facilities in Boston.

For 25 years beforehand, he was a commercial and residential facility designer, putting together floor plans for clients in homes, training facilities and developers.

As he gets settled into Colorado and finds some free time, he’s excited to explore more of the state on his motorcycle.
