"Nichelle is an outstanding source of knowledge, encouragement, and support. As someone not comfortable in my body, Nichelle’s focus on the positive, endless patience, earnest training approach and lovely sense of humor are making my fitness journey a less daunting one."
"Working out with Nichelle is a highlight of my week and has been, weekly almost without exception the last nearly 4 years. She’s wise, fun, funny, focused, and incredibly smart about how to train people and their bodies effectively. At age 49 I am by far the strongest I have ever been in my life thanks to my training with Nichelle. After working with Nichelle I’ve also finally been able to return to trail running, something I’ve loved, but had to abandon because of nagging injuries."
"After giving birth I realized I hadn’t spared a second thought about fitness. Nichelle was very patient with me as I was in less than ideal shape postpartum. Nichelle helped me navigate my way to the best shape of my life and she’s been an incredible inspiration these last 5 years."
"Nichelle is a godsend! She’s been super responsive to my needs as they’ve changed throughout my pregnancy but doesn’t shy away from challenging me. I feel incredibly strong and empowered working with Nichelle."
"Pre-pandemic I was at the top of my game. Three years later I had turned into a 45-year old loose bag of flesh with a nagging shoulder injury. Over the last 6 moths Nichelle has helped me get back into my body and gain a ton of strength. I have never felt stronger."
"I spent years in the gym mostly doing cardio. I wasn’t seeing the body comp changes I wanted. Then I started working with Nichelle. I started to lean out, run faster, and feel strong. She not only trained me, she gave me confidence and instruction to master the weight room for myself."
"It is true what they say: getting older is not for the faint of heart, but at least I’ve got a secret weapon: my training with Nichelle. Working with her has improved my general health, my bone density, and even my outlook enormously. She brings so much expertise and heart to what she does. Give yourself the gift of working with Nichelle!"
