But beneath the glamour is a woman whose professional edge is rooted in something far less curated: grit. Long before luxury real estate and television screens became her everyday landscape, Young was an elite athlete raised in a household where perseverance wasn\u2019t a slogan\u2014it was the standard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf at first you don\u2019t succeed, get back up again and again and again,\u201d she says. \u201cEven if you\u2019re not the biggest or the strongest, you can succeed in being the most determined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That mindset, forged in childhood through springboard diving and gymnastics, has translated into a career that thrives under pressure\u2014whether navigating multimillion-dollar deals or national television narratives. But it\u2019s not just about staying in motion; it\u2019s about moving with intention. \u201cWe\u2019re supposed to be providing service and value to our clients,\u201d Young says of the real estate industry. \u201cI think a lot of times, people\u2019s egos can take over. They think it\u2019s more about them and their accomplishments, as opposed to \u2018What am I providing?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Young recently spoke with <em>M&amp;F,<\/em> reflecting on the lessons behind her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/pro-tips\/what-having-mental-grit-means-to-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mental toughness<\/a>, how she balances brand-building with staying grounded, and why true strength at this stage in her life has as much to do with what she says no to as what she pursues. From her go-to wellness routines to her evolving perspective on purpose and visibility, she lays out the principles powering her next chapter\u2014and the ones she won\u2019t compromise on.<\/p>\n<h3>Nicole Young Built Her Foundation on Fitness<\/h3>\n<p>Before she ever closed a megadeal or navigated interpersonal fireworks on a Netflix soundstage, Nicole Young was competing\u2014often against herself. Whether it was gymnastics, springboard diving, or grinding out reps on the track, athletics were never just simply extracurricular activities. They were a lens through which she understood work ethic, pressure, and purpose.\u201c parents were both collegiate athletes,\u201d Young says. \u201cSo sports were a huge part of my life from the beginning. And they taught me that even if you\u2019re not the most naturally gifted, you can win by outworking everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That belief became her operating system\u2014one that\u2019s carried her from athletic ambition to real estate recognition.<\/p>\n<p>Young doesn\u2019t romanticize competition. She respects it. She credits her sports background for building the kind of endurance that today allows her to function in high-stress, high-visibility environments without cracking. Real estate in Los Angeles is cutthroat enough. Layer on a global audience dissecting your decisions, and it requires something more than confidence\u2014it demands internal calibration.<\/p>\n<p>What she learned on the mat and the diving board wasn\u2019t about medals\u2014it was about mastering mindset. \u201cWe\u2019re taught to shake it off and go again,\u201d she says. \u201cYou fall, you get back up. You mess up, you try harder.\u201d That feedback loop is something she still relies on in her career today. Every client lost, every deal delayed, every scene scrutinized\u2014all of it becomes data, not drama.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:55.36519386835%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nicole-Young-meditating-in-the-sunshine.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"Nicole Young meditating in the sunshine\" width=\"1109\" height=\"614\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nicole-Young-meditating-in-the-sunshine.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Matthew Seifnia<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Thriving in the Spotlight<\/h3>\n<p>Scroll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsnicoleyoung\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicole Young\u2019s Instagram<\/a> and you\u2019ll see the expected markers of success: skyline views, curated outfits, a level of polish that suggests effortlessness. But behind the curtain is someone who thrives on discipline, not aesthetics. Her schedule, far from chaotic, runs on a rhythm that prioritizes energy over appearance.\u201cIf it\u2019s not in my calendar, it doesn\u2019t exist,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Its not a line\u2014its a mantra. Between showings, shooting, branding, and life, Young carves out time to control what she can. For her, that means prioritizing sleep, hydration, and a reliable night workout\u2014even when the rest of the day doesn\u2019t go to plan.<\/p>\n<p>Her preferred routine: an intense cardio session on the bike followed by mat Pilates, often well after dark. \u201cI\u2019m not capable of having a conversation whatsoever when I\u2019m on that bike,\u201d she laughs. \u201cBut I think it\u2019s so good to get a good sweat in\u2026 really pump out a hardcore workout in however much time you have available.\u201d It\u2019s less about chasing an aesthetic and more about maintaining clarity and calm.<\/p>\n<p>Nutrition follows the same intentional approach. As a committed plant-based eater, Young is the type to prepare fridge-ready meals in advance, or lean on go-to brands like Urban Remedy to keep things clean and simple. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing worse than being in the car, running around all day and suddenly being like, Im starving and theres nothing I can eat.\u2019\u201d Her philosophy isn\u2019t about restriction\u2014it\u2019s about readiness.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:55.36519386835%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nicole-Young-performing-a-yoga-move-on-the-ground.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"Nicole Young performing a yoga move on the ground\" width=\"1109\" height=\"614\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nicole-Young-performing-a-yoga-move-on-the-ground.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Matthew Seifnia<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Mental Strength is Greater Than Physical Strength<\/h3>\n<p>In a culture obsessed with visible gains, Young is more interested in what you can\u2019t see. While she still puts in the physical work\u2014for her body, her brand, and her health\u2014it\u2019s mental fitness that underpins everything. \u201cPhysical strength takes a backseat to mental strength,\u201d she says. \u201cStrength and determination will get you farther than anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That belief isn\u2019t abstract. It shows up in how she processes feedback, manages conflict, and stays grounded in environments built to test composure. And in the context of reality TV, that composure is more than aesthetic\u2014it\u2019s essential. \u201cIt\u2019s the real world and there\u2019s the reality TV world,\u201d she says. \u201c oftentimes those things are very different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Young doesn\u2019t pretend the two worlds are easy to balance. But she\u2019s learned to separate her self-worth from her storyline. That means understanding the difference between performance and identity\u2014and resisting the pull to perform off-camera. \u201cI have to be very mentally strong to maintain who you are when there are so many people projecting who they think you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To stay sharp, she starts every day with brain games\u2014quick-hit mental exercises to get the neurons firing before the demands of the day stack up. \u201cIt just gets my synapses going,\u201d she says. \u201c when I have a big day ahead, I want to make sure Im clear-headed and sharp.\u201d It\u2019s one more way she trains for the long game\u2014one that has less to do with what people see and more to do with how she sees herself.<\/p>\n<h3>How Nicole Young Is Building a Brand Beyond \u2018Sunset\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>As her profile has risen, so has the temptation to play to the crowd. But Nicole Young has made a deliberate decision not to. Instead, she\u2019s doubling down on authenticity, trusting that the version of herself she knows best will always outperform the one others expect. \u201cMy dad told me as a young kid: Other people\u2019s opinions of you are none of your business,\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s really stayed with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not about arrogance\u2014it\u2019s about agency. Young believes that strength today means being comfortable with complexity, especially as a woman in a space that rewards simplicity and spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>And part of that strength has come from staying open to unexpected opportunities. Initially hesitant to join <em>Selling Sunset,<\/em> she ultimately saw the potential in saying yes. \u201cBeing open to it opened up a lot more possibilities,\u201d she says. What followed was not just visibility, but evolution\u2014a way to expand her platform without compromising her values.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as she plots the next chapter\u2014with ambitions that stretch beyond the show and even beyond real estate\u2014Young is staying rooted in whats worked: structure, resilience, and a clear sense of self. \u201cAt the end of the day, your integrity is the only thing that really matters,\u201d she says. \u201c else comes and goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsnicoleyoung\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow Nicole on Instagram\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/muscle-fitness-hers\/hers-athletes-celebrities\/selling-sunset-star-nicole-young-is-sold-on-making-fitness-gains\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicole Young\u2019s public persona may come polished and poised\u2014a hallmark of her presence on Netflix\u2019s Selling Sunset.
