Senior Master Sergeant Nikki Allmann (Retired) served honorably in the United States Air Force for 22 years. Throughout her distinguished career, she led with grit, discipline, and integrity—setting the standard for operational excellence and mentorship across multiple commands. From training squadrons to high-tempo logistics environments, she consistently delivered mission-critical results while empowering the airmen under her leadership. Her career is a legacy of service, sacrifice, and warrior-grade resilience.
Following retirement, Nikki channeled her strength into building a second mission: founding the Workout Warriors Foundation, a nonprofit that provides adaptive fitness and support for veterans, first responders, and their families. As President, she has grown the foundation into a beacon of purpose and community. Through events like Row Beyond Limits, adaptive programs, and outreach efforts, Nikki helps fellow warriors rediscover strength, identity, and belonging through movement and mentorship.
She is also co-owner of Warrior Axe CrossFit in Columbia, South Carolina—a gym grounded in Norse warrior ethos and CrossFit methodology. There, Nikki coaches athletes of all backgrounds, leads from the front, and creates a fiercely supportive environment rooted in purpose and grit. She also serves as Secretary of VFW Post 11079, using her voice to advocate for veterans' rights and benefits. As secretary she supports veteran outreach, commemorative events, and local legislative efforts. A devoted mother of four, Nikki balances her many missions with humility, fire, and unwavering love for her tribe.
As founder of the Workout Warriors Foundation, she organizes community-wide adaptive fitness events and programming that directly serve veterans, first responders, and their families. She volunteers her time mentoring transitioning service members, supports military spouse groups, and helps lead community initiatives promoting mental and physical resilience. Her impact is felt well beyond the gym floor—she's a force multiplier for good.
