Posted on Marion RobinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely love training at Studio 51! Nicci has taken the time to really focus in on what my personal needs are, helping me restore balance and strength into my body. I have learnt so much about how my body moves and needs to move. I can honestly say that for the first time in a long time, thanks to my training at Studio 51, that I trust my body again. Thank you Nicci 🌺Posted on Denise SutherlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first met Nicci at Studio 51 when my teenage son started a sports development class with her. He loved it, and continues to attend a couple of years later. I then joined a class more suited to my (middle-aged!) goals and also really enjoy it. Nicci is extremely knowledgeable about the body and tailors the exercises to suit you and how you’re feeling on the day; whether you have an injury; if you’re training for something specific etc. The classes are small so she can easily do this. She makes the classes fun and motivating; no two classes are ever the same! Now my daughter; husband; other son and mother also attend various classes that Nicci teaches. Highly recommend for everyone!Posted on June HarrowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been training at Studio 51 for about 3 years now and love it. Nicci assesses everyones ability before starting a class and each session is set at an appropriate level, even if she does encourage you to go beyond what you think you can do but I guess thats the point. As an older lady with no exercise history and dodgy knees I was nervous at first but I needn't have been everyone is so lovely and I have made lots of new friends. Strangely I look forward to my sessions🤣Posted on AmyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have trained at Studio 51 since early 2020 and during that time Nicci has supported me through two pregnancies and C-section recoveries, always ensuring my training was safe, effective, and perfectly tailored to my needs. Her knowledge of movement and the body is outstanding, and she takes a refreshingly holistic approach to health and fitness where it’s about creating a sustainable, balanced lifestyle. Nicci knows her clients so well, she naturally adjusts her programmes where necessary to create an inclusive environment where every client feels safe and supported. She’s passionate about what she does, genuinely cares about your progress, and makes every workout enjoyable with her kindness and sense of humour. If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your well-being, Studio 51 is the place to be!Posted on Jessica BarfooteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing working with Nicci. Understands how my body functions and teaches me how to work with my body and not against it. Love the progress we are continuing to make.Posted on Anita STEWARTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first met Nicci in a small group fitness class, she had such an awesome way of making moving fun even at 6am! These days my teenagers are taking her teen classes and it's so awesome seeing how strong they are getting in a really safe and encouraging space. So young or old I can definitely recomend studio 51 for exercise and really great, well researched advice about fitness.Posted on Megan BartlettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training at Studio 51 for almost a year, and I can’t recommend it enough! As a homebody with some health challenges and a sore knee, I was really nervous about starting, but my son (who’s been going for 1.5 years) convinced me to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! The small classes are ideal for me, and I appreciate how Nicci challenges me at my own pace. Nicci is supportive and makes every session personal. I’ve gained a great deal of strength and feel more confident in my body. Studio 51 has been a game-changer for me—highly recommend!Posted on Dallas WrackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with Nicci at Studio 51 for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. She pushes me just the right amount, keeps things fun, there are always plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you’re new, experienced, or working around an injury, Nicci always finds options that work. The vibe is so supportive, I’ve made some great friends, and always leave feeling stronger, more confident, and better after training. Studio 51 really is the best place to train and be part of a community. I couldn’t recommend it more.Posted on Arna-Lise HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nicci is extremely knowledgeable, professional and approachable. She adapts exercises to suit how someone is feeling on any given day, accommodates for injuries, creates great banter while there's great music and a fun vibe. I feel very safe in her hands and would recommend her to absolutely anyone. Training at stufio51 is a highlight of my week!Posted on Renee FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nicci has been training me for several years and I love her classes as they are varied and fun! I enjoy Nicci’s personalised approach and the additional advice she offers for injury recovery. She is also very knowledgeable in the overall health and wellbeing space and I find her suggestions very helpful. I highly recommend Nicci’s small group strength training classes to everyone!
