Hi, I’m Nicole and I am the founder of Studio NRF. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you a little about myself, why fitness came into my life and why I am so incredibly passionate about supporting women throughout their health and fitness journeys.
We will skip the early years and go straight to returning from travelling in 2016 with my now husband, Ged. We had been living the dream in Australia, I was 24 and although I’d been loving every second of my life abroad, I didn’t love the body I came home in. I started attending outdoor bootcamp style classes to hopefully lose some weight (I didn’t care about getting fitter and stronger at this point!), and I became pretty consistent with this form of exercise for a while..
To cut a long story short, I eventually moved on to a gym and got myself a personal trainer. By working with a PT I started to fall in love with feeling stronger and fitter than I ever had before, and my love for fitness and how it can make you feel began. The progress you can make when you put in the work sparked a passion in me that I certainly did not expect.
Just like everyone else, I have had many phases throughout my own fitness journey. I have loved and loathed different forms of exercise, I have competed in fitness modelling competitions (never again now!), I have run races and vowed never to again before signing up for another the same day, and I have built a level of consistency within my own life that makes me sure that fitness will be a very important part of my life forever.
Throughout this journey I realised that having a personal trainer I connected with and felt empowered and challenged by, was crucial and I decided that I wanted nothing more than to pay this forward.. Cue 2020 (terrible timing on my part!) and becoming a qualified PT.
Following a couple of years of online and face to face coaching, Studio NRF was born. I have always been a female only coach (it just felt like the most natural thing to me) and I am so incredibly passionate about supporting women throughout their fitness journeys, whether you are completely new or a seasoned gym goer. It is really important to me that women feel supported, empowered and safe in a gym environment.
From day one I knew I wanted Studio NRF to embody all of those things. We are a space for all women to feel challenged and welcomed, and that is something I am incredibly proud of.
Studio NRF is not a one trick pony. We offer many different classes for women of all fitness levels, and in lots of different styles of training so no matter what your goals are, you can reach them with us. So whether you are just starting out, or you just fancy trying something new, we would absolutely love to see you at Studio NRF – a space for women to feel happy, healthy and confident!
And that’s me.. In love with life, my family and our incredible community of women!
