About Cave Training Fit

Cave Training and BabeFit are Santa Clarita-based fitness and wellness brands founded and led by Nikki Adams-Herrera, an experienced strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, BIRTHFIT Coach and Leader, holistic nutrition coach, and doula. With more than two decades of coaching experience, Nikki has created an inclusive, community-driven environment where people can build strength, improve performance, develop confidence, and create sustainable habits at every stage of life.

Through Cave Training, Nikki provides personalized personal training, small-group functional fitness, barbell strength training, high-intensity interval training, conditioning, boxing, endurance-based workouts, restorative yoga, and performance-focused coaching. Her programming is designed to meet people where they are—whether they are brand new to fitness, returning after time away, rebuilding after pregnancy, training for a specific goal, improving athletic performance, or simply looking for a healthier and more capable lifestyle.

Nikki’s approach goes beyond generic workouts. She emphasizes movement quality, strength, conditioning, mindset, accountability, education, and real community connection. Members receive hands-on coaching in an intentionally small-group environment, allowing for individualized modifications, technique instruction, progression, and support. The goal is not just to make people sweat—it is to help them move well, become stronger, feel more confident, and build physical resilience for life outside the gym.

A major part of Nikki’s work is dedicated to women’s wellness, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the motherhood journey through BabeFit. BabeFit provides prenatal and postpartum fitness coaching, pregnancy-safe strength training, birth-preparation fitness, breathwork, core and pelvic-floor-aware movement, postpartum return-to-fitness support, and community for mothers who want to care for their body without losing themselves in the process. Nikki’s doula-informed and BIRTHFIT-based perspective allows her to support women through the changing physical, emotional, and lifestyle demands of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery, and motherhood.

Nikki also offers educational resources and online support for mothers, including the Tend(her) Micro Course, which is designed to help women navigate the physical and mental challenges of pregnancy and postpartum with guided workouts, movement education, reflection tools, and community connection. Her motherhood-focused work is grounded in the belief that women deserve more than a one-size-fits-all workout—they deserve knowledgeable coaching, encouragement, and space to rebuild strength at their own pace.

In addition to general fitness and motherhood support, Nikki’s coaching background includes performance training, youth-athlete development, corporate wellness, team dynamics, and fitness-program development. This makes Cave Training a fit for individuals, parents, athletes, local teams, and organizations seeking structured fitness, expert coaching, and a more personal alternative to a large commercial gym.

At the center of both Cave Training and BabeFit is a simple mission: to cultivate strength, movement, education, wellness, and connection. Nikki has built her business around the idea that training with purpose can improve not only physical fitness, but also confidence, mindset, relationships, and the way people show up for themselves, their families, and their community.

Cave Training and BabeFit are Santa Clarita fitness and wellness brands led by Nikki Adams-Herrera, a strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, BIRTHFIT Coach and Leader, holistic nutrition coach, and doula with more than 20 years of experience. Nikki provides personal training, small-group functional fitness, barbell strength training, HIIT, boxing, endurance training, restorative yoga, performance coaching, prenatal and postpartum fitness, birth-preparation support, and motherhood wellness education. Her approach combines expert coaching, individualized modifications, strength-building, mindset support, and genuine community—helping beginners, athletes, mothers, and everyday adults feel stronger, more capable, and more confident at every stage of life.

Nikki Adams-Herrera helps people build strength and confidence through expert fitness coaching, while providing specialized support for women through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the motherhood journey.

Cave Training’s current service mix includes personal training, functional strength and conditioning, barbell work, HIIT, boxing, endurance, and yoga; BabeFit and Tend(her) extend that model into prenatal, postpartum, and motherhood-centered coaching and education.
