"If your spine is inflexible at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young." Joseph Pilates
Joseph Pilates CONTROLOGY method
I invented all these machines it resists your movements in just the right way so those inner muscles really have to work against it. That way you can concentrate on movement. You must always do it slowly and smoothly. Then your whole body is in it."
"Above all, learn how to breathe correctly."
"Constantly keep in mind that true flexibility can be achieved only when all muscles are uniformly developed."
- Joseph Pilates
Beautiful, private, dedicated space and time.
"There’s so many wonderful things to say about Nicole. From the moment you meet her, her energy is infectious. Behinds being beautiful both on the inside and out, her attention to deal is unparalleled. Nicole knows Pilates!!! Whether it’s your first Pilates session or you’re experienced, Nicole will take your practice to the next level. Philly is extremely lucky to have such an amazing talent."
–Michelle L.
"Nicole is one of the best instructors. She doesn’t miss a thing, she encourages me to get beyond my self-limitations, and I feel stronger and stronger after each session. It is the best, safest cross training for me as a competitive athlete."
-Candice N.
"Nicole brings such light and joy into the air when she is present. Her years of training and application of the classical Pilates techniques combined with her background is a powerful combination. I love working with her in person and with online sessions. She doesn’t miss a beat and sees all!"
–Christina G.
"If I could give Nicole 10 stars I would. I was first introduced to Nicole when I contacted Gratz Pilates about equipment inquiries. They referred me to Nicole, whom I had seen featured on their site. Nicole’s infectious personality immediately prompted me to take private lessons from her, and I am so grateful I did. Every session has been nothing short of enlightening, and Nicole manages to make me do things I thought I could never do in Pilates. As a pilates instructor myself, I am very selective of who I take lessons from. I can say with full confidence that Nicole is an extremely gifted teacher who will help you reach your goals. Her attention to detail, compassion, knowledge, positivity, and dedication to continuing education is so inspiring. My other teachers notice a big leap forward in my practice when I commit to regular private sessions with Nicole, and my students all gain from my lessons with her. Thank you so much Nicole!"
–Celine R.
“Nicole is an outstanding Pilates instructor, an exceptional human being and one of those rare people who truly stands apart. I had the good fortune to work with her privately as her Pilates student three times a week for four months. She has the ability to transfer and apply this knowledge to an individual’s specific condition, to observe a multitude of seemingly invisible movements of a person’s body simultaneously, to communicate corrections with true helpfulness and accuracy without ever sounding condescending, and to do all of the above while already anticipating the next movement that needs to be cued. She is extremely generous with her own time for people who show the desire to do their best and to improve upon the abilities being targeted in a Pilates program. She does all of this with a sense of goodwill and good humor that make it a pleasure to work with her.”
–Dr. Meg P.
“It is rare that I will ever come across another Pilates teacher as outstanding, compassionate, and dedicated as Nicole is. I had the pleasure of training with Nicole for 3 months. I was eager to learn the deeper meaning of Pilates and she helped me to gain a better understanding of “The Method”. In the short amount of time that we worked together my body has become toned, flexible, and stronger. Nicole has taken me to “the next level.” I witnessed the happiness of all of the clients at the studio.”
–Andrea O.
"This girl is all that! Nicole will push you to the limit in a great way and you’ll have such a new appreciation for the human body. You will not regret taking seasons with this instructor. Her passions shines through and her supportive spirit will guide your body to its best version of itself. "
–Nassemah P.
"Nicole is amazing instructor. She listens well and knows how to push your body to the limits. I always feel great after a workout. She makes it known that pilates is for all body types."
-Tuesday C.
"Nicole is vivaciously energetic, completely grounded and serves her Badassery with rhythm and a smile. She will ring you out, and test your limits… And you will leave her hungry for more."
-Christi A.
"I’ve been working with Nicole for almost 2 years now and she has brought amazing energy, great enthusiasm and a high level of intensity to every class. I remember after my first class I was surprised at how difficult Pilates could be. It’s a lot different than going to the gym but you quickly notice how special it is and the respect it demands. It has even helped me in the gym, specifically in strengthening my core and helping me become more flexible and fluid in my movements.Nicole is awesome inside and outside of the studio and is truly one of the great gems of the Pilates world!Make an appointment and ask her to sing come on over."
-Antoine O.
"I have practiced Pilates on and off for years and Nicole is one of the best! She teaches true classical Pilates and has successfully helped me to rehabilitate a hip injury in addition to strengthening my body. I can not recommend her more!"
-Alexis R.
"Nicole is an amazing Pilates Instructor. Her passion for the Authentic work of Joseph Pilates and her dedication to her clients’ progress and wellness is evident in her lessons and the energy she brings to every space she teaches in. Highly, highly recommend Nicole!"
