Temple Pilates, Ventura CA

Highly recommend her one on one sessions! It’s worth the investment, she is so knowledgeable Im how the body functions and moves & she had a great eye to see how YOUR body functions / moves and how to work with it to reach toward your goals. She is truly passionate about what she does, one month of sessions with her did far better than any physical therapy I have taken.

I am so glad that I have access to online classes at Temple Pilates. It’s amazing how much you can learn and grow through the private lessons and the mat classes offer a chance for both fitness and community. Nicole is able to focus on your particular body type and what it needs that day through the Zoom interactive experience. Pilates has helped me with both fitness and a sense of well being and that is especially important right now during this challenging time. Nicole is truly gifted at what she does. I am 51 years old and often tell her that exercise up to now has usually been a chore, but her positive energy and expertise plus the unique experience of Pilates make it a joy to participate.

Finding something I would stick with has always been a challenge, until I met Nicole. My mind needs as much engagement as my body and with Nicole's attention, I get both. A healthy, curvy shape and my version of a "Happy Hour".

Post Thomas fire, we could all use a good dose of healthy. Enter Nicole, warm and personable; an all around fantastic Pilates instructor. Her studio is light and lovely, stocked with great equipment. I'm so impressed with her depth of knowledge when it comes to anatomy and movement. She was able to quickly target my trouble areas (always the neck, shoulders AND lower back) and give them a good stretch while strengthening. She was clear in explaining what we were doing and why, and didn't make me feel like a weakling (which I kind of am at the moment) when modifications were necessary. She also taught me several exercises I can easily do at home. I really love Pilates, because those seemingly small, isolated movements provide the best results, but don't leave me gasping for air. And after my session with Nicole, I swear I was walking a touch taller.

After four surgeries in one year my body was a mess. I had a lot of pain in my hip and it shot down my leg. The physical therapy doctor I saw introduced me to some Pilates techniques to build my strength and I really saw a difference but insurance will only cover so much so, I started private sessions with Nicole, who crafted a gentle routine to meet my physical abilities and limitations. I have been with her for over a year now and I am the strongest I have been in maybe 20 years. I am also pain free in my hips and I have seen my body transform with her guidance. I detest gyms and working out which is why I love working one on one with her. She is always upbeat, motivating and positive. I highly recommend Temple Pilates.

My knee had taken me out of the running game and into physical therapy. I began private lessons with Nicole and I have seriously never felt better about my body, nor had my body felt better than that ever. Within a few sessions my kinks were working out, my legs/hips were more balanced, and my IT band was no longer stopping me from light running. Nicole is a beautiful, open person who knows her craft very well. She has the ability to get out of you what you are unsure you can do. I highly recommend Temple Pilates. And.have you seen that gorgeous studio?

I love this Pilates studio in beautiful downtown Ventura! Nichole is by far one of the best Classic Pilates instructor I have had, she pays close attention to details to make sure your body moves in correct form. After every one hour private I leave feeling refreshed, energized, and ready for my day!

Establishing a regular practice with Nicole has transformed my body in beautiful and powerful ways. I am so much stronger, more confident, and aware of my physical and spiritual well-being as a result of being Nicole’s student. As a busy professional and working Mom, it can be challenging to find time and energy to exercise and take care of myself. But I look forward to every session, see results and new abilities with each passing week, and treasure Nicole’s incredible skill and patient competence. I have practiced pilates in a few different places, but there isn't a more encouraging, interesting, and safe place to practice than Temple Pilates. If you are even slightly curious - try it - you'll be so grateful you did!
