Prior to starting work with Nicci, over the years I had tried out various different personal trainers to try and find the best match. Nicci is easily the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. Nicci genuinely cares about her clients and it is easy to start to consider Nicci as a friend.
We are welcome to contact Nicci at any time with questions, concerns or just to let her know how we are doing and she promptly gets back to us with solutions and encouragement. Nicci’s care is obvious. She has a very holistic approach to her work and personally has helped me a lot, including nutrition.
Nicci also provides her clients with home programmes including a personalised video demonstrating each exercise. I have never experienced this kind of service from a personal trainer before. Nicci also provides her clients with regular challenges which is something great to work towards. Nicci also continually provides updates and news on her Facebook page. As a client we also get access to her private Facebook page for further support.
I highly, highly recommend her.
Last week I visited Nicci and had a lymphatic massage and muscle release session. I get frequent headaches especially mid morning, if I don’t have a coffee! I made sure not to drink coffee this morning to get the effects of the massage. Since that day I haven’t had a headache and coffee intake has been minimal! It’s truely amazing! I can’t believe how it’s helped my headaches! Nicci found my inflammation and freed it and the benefits have been awesome! No headaches! I felt safe and relaxed in Nicci’s care and I recommend her to everyone! Thanks so much Nic!!
After having my baby in January, with complications which ended up being a T-Section caesarean I came back to Nicci in May this year, Nicci tailored her workouts for me to get the best results in improving my core without further injuring my abdomen and also referred me to see Shelley from Fresh Start Physio to check my pelvic floor after having two complicated births.
Nicci attended this session with Shelley, she sat in on the questioning, and then when the internal was done she took my son for a walk, to return in time for the recommendations from Shelley. I really appreciate Nicci’s care in this time, she wanted to ensure she was doing the right exercises with me. She has continued to have contact with Shelley over this time. I had a follow up appointment with Shelley about 8 weeks ago, and my diastasis is down to one finger width and I have noticed how much stronger my core is, which I am very happy about.
Since seeing Nicci I have noticed an overall improvement in my strength, fitness, and flexibility, as well as more energy.
Nicci takes the time to understand your needs, fitness level and goals and tailors your work out accordingly while also making each session challenging, creative and most importantly enjoyable. While also having the knowledge to answer any questions, and if not being honest about that, and then finding the answers.
Nicci is a fantastic trainer and motivator whom I would recommend to anyone wanting to start a better healthier lifestyle while having fun along the way.
Nicci has a vibrant personality and an extremely positive attitude. At the beginning of each session she assesses where we are at and our aspiratons for that day. Her ability to be flexible and adapt the session is amazing. Her monitoring of our movement and communication with us during the session is also admirable.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for Nicci. She goes above and beyond the call of duty and has gone as far as making a video for us so we could keep up our programme whilset away overseas.
Winning Up and Coming Personal Trainer of the Year award is a testament to Nicci’s passion, determination and commitment to provide the best for her clients
Through her personal training studies and her multiple further education courses and mentorships I have seen a huge change in her training styles, she is very confident, knowledgeable, but also isn’t shy to say when she doesn’t know something and will come back with research and a professional opinion, from her mentors or other sources.
I have always found Nicci to be flexible to my needs and always goes above and beyond to help me achieve my fitness and nutrition goals by always being supportive and giving great advice. In the group fitness classes, there are very different clients with differing needs, Nicci always programmes with all of our needs taken care of. She is very flexible and can think on the spot. She has also created an online community for all her clients; she spends a lot of time on here educating her clients, along with support, recipes and group events.
I love training with Nicci. She is kind and caring and fun to be a round and always tries to make fitness as fun as possible. I also like that Nicci is always up skilling herself to be the very best that she can possibly be as a personal trainer, movement coach, and health coach.
Nicci is very encouraging, knowledgeable and always pushing you to do more. This is turn makes me enjoy working out – which I never have before. She is very creative coming up with different session each week, making them fun and challenging at the same time, no two sessions are the same.
I would recommend Nicci in a heartbeat to anyone looking to start their fitness journey
As a 38 year old male, this is not something I would normally have made time for, but the results were remarkable.
Within 3 days I was completely pain free. I found Nicci very professional, first localising my pain and then taking me through some targeted stretching.
I strongly recommend seeing Nicci and taking her advice.
The trainers at studio 51 constantly work extremely hard to provide an environment that really is “the ONLY place to train!” They care about the individual, who you are, what your goals are, where you’re at on your health, fitness and wellbeing journey and they thrive on seeing improvements for each of their clients.
I love knowing that when my body wants a burn I can sweat, get pushed and leave a class feeling like I’ve earned my next treat. I also love that when my body needs looking after, to stretch, take it down a notch and mobilise, I get to do that with a trainer who understands why.
I love and look forward to my three sessions a week at Studio 51, I love the ladies in my classes, I love the laughs, the ‘good sore’ feeling the day after, the help I get that’s improved my sleep, my energy levels and my choices. I love the way the trainers believe strongly in what they’re providing for people they care about. This team is awesome, if you haven’t already come along – you should! It will become ‘your place to train’.
You may not want to hear this but your classes are by far the best for leaving in a sweaty mess
