Nikki Allmann is a retired U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sergeant who served 22 years as a paralegal with deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and the Philippines. She is the founder of the Workout Warrior Foundation and co-owner of Warrior X CrossFit and Warrior X Coffee, where she empowers veterans, first responders, and adaptive athletes through accessible fitness, whole-person wellness, and community support. Her mission is simple: no one fights alone.
