What Some Of My Clients Have To Say
Julia Malakoff
Strength Training-those were two words that just did not register with me for a long time.  I have always been active and trying to be more so as I "mature." But I never seemed to be able to figure out how to work weights into my daily routine. Wasn't yoga enough-I tried to convince myself that body weight training-as amazing as it is, doesn't truly allow you to get any stronger because you are not consistently changing your body weight. I think we all have to come to our own breaking point when we need a change in our routine. Mine does mirror the menopause route where I was beginning to become so frustrated with the way my body held on to weight around my middle no matter what I did, diet or exercise. ​ It had been decades since I had even lifted a dumbbell. Nicole created a structured weekly routine for me that showed results in just a few weeks! I started tracking my protein intake and learned that I was not eating enough! And I recorded my workouts, concentrating on my form which Nicole, rightfully so, made sure that I was doing spot on to prevent injury. I

I started perimenopause at the age of 39. I was on HRT for a decade and foolishly believed menopause wouldn’t be a big deal. Then I turned 50 and it felt like menopause struck with all its vengeance and Nicole helped me to fight back. Nicole will teach you about nutrition that will nourish your body to keep it strong for your new weight lifting workouts. Your skin will look great too which is an added bonus. The workouts are realistic and achievable and Nicole is also prompt at answering questions. I have had many personal trainers over the years.  Usually there is coordinating of schedules to meet for workouts and it’s refreshing not to have to change my schedule weekly. I have the flexibility of doing workouts at home or the gym and I love that. Your life will change for the better. You will gain control over your nutrition and workouts. I highly recommend Nicole. I am incredibly grateful for all the help she has given me!

Nicole is outstanding! My goal through (in home) fitness was to not necessarily drop pounds, but inches and feel healthy! Nicole is motivating, takes no excuses, pushed me further than I thought I could go and did it with a smile.

Nicole is amazing. Her credentials say she is a certified fitness trainer and yoga instructor, and she is every bit of that. She is a master of her crafts. But she is way more. She is a coach, confidant, motivator.

I wanted a trainer that understood my needs and could help me achieve my goals without causing any complications.  Nicole was god sent! I’ve been training with Nicole for almost 2 years now, and believe she is one of the most experienced & committed trainers around. I started personal one-on-one training sessions with her and she has been amazing.

Working with Nicole has been a transformative experience for my mind, body & spirit. These before and after pictures are 12 weeks apart, and while the visual results are amazing (a difference of 20 pounds and several inches!), there is so much more than what meets the eye! ... Nicole is an expert in crafting individualized fitness, nutrition, and comprehensive (yet accessible) health plans. I’ve gained so much confidence and belief in myself working on strength, movement, and more mindful eating, all with Nicole as my guide. I’ve gone through periods of restrictive eating and worked with trainers in the past, but never felt like I could sustain my efforts. ... With Nicole I haven’t felt hungry or deprived in improving my relationship with food. And the variety of exercises has kept me engaged and motivated, not to mention feeling worlds stronger than when I started in early December. ... Working with Nicole is a one-stop shop for expertise, accountability, inspiration, and support. She pushes me to challenge myself while also ensuring success with achievable goals and sustainable practices. In addition to exercise and healthier eating habits, I’ve also seen such a positive shift in my mood, sleep, and my overall outlook. Nicole has a gift in not only being a terrific trainer, but also a tremendous teacher. She inspires me to see movement as joyful, to look for gratitude in the everyday through my fitness journey,and to see the big picture of the gift and privilege of health. I am thrilled with the habits and healthy values that Nicole has helped me develop, and I can’t wait to see where my health adventure goes next!

I feel like I should tell you how much you have helped me. Honestly, you've helped me turn my life around! I feel so much better, and am finally pleased with the physical results. I have more confidence, I'm happier and have more energy. I can't thank you enough! The positive reinforcement keeps me motivated, so thanks for that too!
