Nicole's classes are amazing! She has been my pilates coach for over a year, and I'm devoted. Love her strong, sweet, encouraging way of teaching. And she always knows when to take it up to the next challenging level! She's the best.

John

Nicole is wonderful! I've been going to her studio for over a year and my quality of life has improved greatly. Body tone, flexibility and balance have all gotten much better. I used to have trouble driving. On long trips my legs stiffened up and I had to twist my whole body at stop signs to see. Now I have normal mobility. Nicole has great depth of knowledge of Joseph Pilates techniques and selects the appropriate exercises to challenge me every session. I always look forward to Pilates with Nicole, sessions are fun and she always changes up the program, it's a highlight of my week.
