     Mind Body Fitness integrates how we think and feel with movements to align our total energy into mind, body and spirit balance. My safety-first personal training style is light to medium weights depending on the muscle group and your experience. We focus on proper and effective form, to develop more overall tone, slow build and trim and/or to sculpt your body. This includes stretches, low impact cardio combinations and resistance exercises to strengthen, and provide balance for functional and fun exercise. 

     In group fitness, we safely improve functional and sport mobility with flexibility, stabilization, low weight or bodyweight strength, and gentle cardio reps.  We strengthen large muscle groups, core and smaller muscles and limbs for balance, preventative strains, and strength. Class format is standing half the class and then on the mat for leg reps, core exercises and stretch. 

     As a holistic nutrition coach and sports nutrition specialist, I encourage integrating healthy options that generate increased energy for your activities. The nutritious modifications become part of your current meal and snack preferences. Restructuring of beneficial macronutritients (protein/carbs/fats), along with portion control rather than eliminating favorite food, prevents craving cycles.  The goal is a long lasting, happy and healthy lifestyle.

     Nicole's holistic individualized approach to exercise, health and nutrition advice has helped me meet my personal benchmark goals for improved strength, stamina and endurance. Nicole keeps me engaged and focused and encourages me further with nutritional advice to augment my workouts. My confidence in her is supported by her multiple certifications in fitness training and nutrition.Bonus points for dropping 10 pounds, my body is leaner and stronger! - Susan

     Nicole is excellent at suggesting, encouraging and helping you find your personal best. She is cognizant of personal limitations, injuries or sore areas.  In our online workouts, she is patient and consistent. She is very professional and will provide dietary advice if desired. I highly recommend her, and found our online sessions rewarding in improving well-being and strength. - Jan

     First, Nicole is an excellent physical trainer.   Nicole has assisted me in remaining physically active and at a high level of performance, while recognizing that I often have lower back stiffness and limitations.    Nicole has new and fresh approaches to exercise, and she’s a stickler for proper body mechanics and form.   I can see that she “walks her talk.” She cares about my progress.
    Second, Nicole is interested in my total health.   She has assisted me, with a nutrition plan and psychological approaches, in successfully losing 25 pounds this past year. I am now focusing on reducing inflammation in my body, and Nicole has made recommendations of proper foods for this as well.  I consider Nicole a wonderful resource for all of my health needs.    I highly recommend Nicole as a Physical Trainer and a Nutrition Consultant.

     I thoroughly enjoyed working with Nicole and benefited a lot from her diverse talents as coach, trainer, athlete. She teaches a variety of classes and is expert in several different disciplines from boot camp to weightlifting and is also great with aerobic exercise such as jogging and hiking. We did quite a few outdoor sessions hiking and jogging which were really enjoyable.
    She has a friendly, low-key approach, yet also professional. Helpful on safety and making sure I didn’t injure myself along the way.  Despite being in my 60s I wanted to start running and her coaching helped me accomplish that. Her style is encouraging and also just challenging enough. I highly recommend Nicole - you will have fun and your fitness WILL improve! – Julie.
