I am so glad I found Nicky. At 68 I have lost and gained 30+ pounds more times in my life than I can count. Occasionally I hired a trainer, sometimes through a gym, sometimes not, but I never really felt any huge results. I started a walking 5 years ago and that has been good. Changing my diet to low carb and walking regularly, helped me lose 40+ pounds over the last year. Now I needed to build muscle, get toned, and work on balance and posture. My upper body is weak, I lost tone (and my butt) with this last weight loss. As I age I notice small losses in balance. My posture has been an issue most of my life. I did research. The first trainer I hired, who was less expensive, gave me cookie cutter exercises and didn't push me. Maybe he thought I was too old. Then I hired Nicky. She is not easy on me, but goes at my pace. If I can't do something, she modifies it so I can be successful and still get the benefits. I am amazed at every workout with her depth of knowledge. Working together we have uncovered some issues I didn't know I had and we are working to correct them. When I started having a weird issue, we both researched it and she suggested I see a PT to confirm what we both suspect. I like that she researched the issue and also that she knows her limitations. She says, " I'm not a PT. They study for years. But I know training. " I'm feeling stronger in just a few months. My posture has visibly improved. I didn't expect to see a difference so quickly. She takes measurements and checks for muscle increase periodically. It's not required, but I like to see data. I'm pretty knowledgeable about nutrition, but she made some suggestions. I lost a few more pounds, even though that is not my primary goal at this point. I just want to be stronger and more toned. I want to live healthy into old age and I believe having a strong body is absolutely essential. If you want results and not just go through the motions, give Nicky a shout. If you are willing to work and want to work with someone knowledgeable, she's a great choice. Her workouts are tailored to each client. She will make sure you are safe and provide encouragement. read more

I would definitely recommend Nicky for nutritional advice and assistance; she was able to fit me in at the last minute which I really appreciate. Nicky took the time to go over what my current diet was and how I could lose weight with some pretty simple meal adjustments she help set up a nutrition program through an app and we programmed in a sample day for me to start with. She was able to explain where my current meal routine was way too high in certain macros and why shifting and excluding items would help me to lose weight and be more healthy. Ultimately I would love to get some resistance training done with her but her schedule was full. I would highly recommend her for nutritional advice and the reasoning behind making the right choices! read more

I've been training with Nicky for a few months now and I wish I had started sooner! I've been wanting to get in better shape for some time and tried everything: pilates, boxing, F45, etc with no luck. I couldn't find anything worked and I know it was the one on one training that made a difference. She created workouts tailored to my goals and physical limits, along with a nutrition plan, and I'm beyond impressed with my results! There's still so more to do and I'm excited to have her leadership! read more

Working with Nicky has been AMAZING to say the least! She is not only attentive to ensuring my form is good but also my overall health. In the short time she has been training me, I have learned so much about form, progressive overload, and just overall confidence when it comes to working out in the gym. Her training structure is easy to follow as every week she helps me focus on strength and endurance. She also helped with my nutrition and provided guidance in order to meet my goals faster. Highly suggest working with her, you will not be disappointed! read more

Nicky is hands down the best trainer I have ever worked with. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, and weightlifting, but she has made every workout something I actually look forward to. She's incredibly responsive to any questions I have and gives the best recommendations. I've never enjoyed lifting as much as I do now, and I've learned so much about proper form and nutrition. I'm already seeing great results and can't wait to keep getting stronger with her help. Highly recommend Nicky if you want a trainer who's both knowledgeable and a blast to work with! read more

I trained with Nicky for about 2.5 months before my wedding, and I can't recommend her more! Nicky helped me to get clear on my goals, and customized every workout to meet me at my current fitness level + push me to where I wanted to be. I gained strength and saw both my fitness and my body composition improve week by week, and was able to receive the nutritional guidance I needed from Nicky as well. Aside from the awesome results, Nicky creates an environment that's fun, supportive, and motivating. If you're considering working with her, I encourage you to go for it! read more

Nicky is by far the most organized, thorough, knowledgeable, success driven coach I've ever trained with. As an over 40 year old female who has struggled with weight gain and body image her entire life, finding Nicky has been a game changer, a huge blessing in my life. My progress after 5 weeks is mind blowing. Her gym is set up with all the equipment that you will need for an optimal workout. If you are looking to change your body, and do the hard work in and out of the gym she will train you to success. read more

Great, amazing and encouraging trainer! Nicky is always pushing me to get that extra push and I'm seeing the results! She's also always so willing to meet me at 530am and on a Saturday when I'm traveling. She's great and is always there to motivate me. I highly recommend her to anyone!! read more

I wish I could give Nicky 10 stars, cause she's so much more than a personal trainer. She's a coach, cheerleader, friend and all around fitness superstar! I came to Nicky at one of my lowest points, ready to get my physical and mental health back on track. She created a plan for me at the gym and made sure my nutrition was on point. Over our time together I have never felt so strong, confident and sexy in my own skin. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, Nicky is the best and comes with my highest recommendation!! read more

She does wonders for my booty! Didn't have much to start with and already getting compliments from my friends and hubby! She's a pro and def knows how to build definition quickly! read more

Working out with Nicky has been a game changer for me. I am 59 years young dealing with some nagging neck and shoulder injuries that had been plaguing me that last few years and too much flab, so it was time I do something about it. I needed an experienced and top-notch trainer so that I can regain some strength I had lost during my injury hiatus, fix imbalances but do so while avoiding further injuries. Reading reviews on Yelp helped me narrow it down to Nicky. While training with Nicky I not only made strength gains and lost inches but more importantly I learned a ton about proper form and mobility and added many new and better exercises to my repertoire. I trained with Nicky for about 3 months then life got in the way and also, I felt I was ready to sprout my wings and try to fly on my own. She was so encouraging and gave me so much confidence that I was able to overcome my intimidation of the gym. Her attention to detail and knowledge on working out with injuries is beyond advanced. She can quickly spot imperfections in lifts and let me know exactly how to improve them making a huge difference. She gave me my own customized workouts that targeted my weaknesses made working out much more interesting and fun. I miss my mornings training with Nicky but I plan to go back for a refresher when life settles down. Book your consultation with Nicky and let your life-changing journey begin! read more

Nicky has truly changed my life. Not only is she an amazing personal trainer helping build strength but she's also a great resource for nutrition and all things health related. I've been working with her for a few months and I can see and feel the changes. She provides all the resources you need to succeed and feel like your best self. She often checks in and will make adjustments based on how your body is responding to the workouts. She has great energy, fun workout music and is a great person to be around! read more

I'm a glutton for punishment. In addition to "enjoying" Nicky's bootcamp, I was also a personal training client of Nicky's for over a year and a half...of course until she decided to move away. Why, why?? Twice a week I'd face the "Silent Assassin", the very best personal trainer I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and I have had a few. She customizes each and every workout to keep your body guessing and won't let you quit even when you think you can't go anymore. Nicky truly invests 150% of herself in you. If you want awesome results, Nicky is truly the one for you. Slackers need not apply ;-) read more

This review is long overdue. Nicky has been my trainer for approx. 2 months and she is honestly one of the best investments I have ever made for myself. I went to Nicky because after decades of trying different exercise routines and nutrition regimens, I couldn't get the desired results with my physique. Now, I am finally beginning to see a transformation--this is a result of Nicky's knowledge base and her ability to identify exercises which yield optimal results. The transformation is not just external. Nicky is my reminder that transformation, or creating the best version of myself, requires an inner discipline. Nicky is in the business of helping her clients create the best version of themselves and she is GREAT at it! I highly recommend Nicky--she is the essence of what every great trainer should be. Thank you Nicky!! read more

Nicky is the best! I have loved training with her twice a week. She is friendly, professional, and knows how to build a booty! I have seen so much progress in my strength and muscle growth. She makes sure that I am doing every exercise with precise form, which I so appreciate! Now I am able to train days without her and feel secure in my exercises and form. I feel so strong and confident! She is on schedule with with measurements and weigh-ins and will adjust if she is not seeing any progress. She will push you!! Now I will forever have Nicky's voice in my head while training..."Come on two more, lets go!" Thank you Nicky! read more

What could I say about Nicky other than..she is absolutely amazing at what she does! Nicky was welcoming and encouraging from the moment I met her. I have a weird schedule and she was so willing to work with the times I had available to train with her. Nicky was motivating and gave that tough love when I needed an extra push. Not only was she good at pushing me past what I thought were my limits, but she was EXTREMELY aware and careful of my individual injuries. I felt Nicky truly cared about me and helping me better my health, strength and injuries. Nicky was truly a pleasure to be trained by. Even after my 12 1/2 hour long work days, I always looked forward to meeting with her and working out with her. It is obvious that Nicky takes pride in what she does and in her clients. I would most definitely return to train with Nicky in the future and recommend her to all. Don't hesitate to contact her for your individual fitness needs. read more

I just started working out with Nicky and having her train me, it's been two weeks and I am amazed with the results!! Thank you in the BIGGEST WAY! I not only am getting noticed I FEEL AMAZING! Ive had many trainers, Nicky is the first I've found to understand my needs! Call her you won't be disappointed read more

I have been training with Nicky for two months now and have been amazed at my results. She will create a customized plan for you depending on your goals and areas needing improvement. She spent a lot of time with me doing a postural assessment ensuring that we were doing the right exercises to help the areas needing the most attention. I look forward to working out with her each and every time because she is so encouraging and pushes you to try your hardest. I would recommend her to anyone really wanting a customized personal training plan. read more

Nicky is great. Do not be apprehensive or intimidated by her ridiculous physique next to you making you look like the Pillsbury Doughboy, because if she's laughing at you, she's really good at hiding it! Seriously, she's a ton of fun and really pays attention to you during the exercises to make sure you get the most out of each session. I'm hooked and I HATE exercise, that's how good she is. read more

I have been training with Nicky for the past 3 weeks and the results are becoming life-changing. In 3 short weeks, I've lost about 7lbs based on her recommendations. She's been helping me make better choices with foods I eat and keeps me accountable. Every workout is customized to my goals, which is something I haven't got with many other trainers. The training sessions aren't simple one bit, but the results and more importantly the feeling of finishing them are more than you can ask for. If you've been looking for a trainer that really cares about you, your goals, and your health, then Nicky is the trainer for you. read more

My wife bought me three sessions with Nicky as a gift. At first I thought there was nothing she could really teach me, especially as a female. Boy, was I wrong! I was sore and impressed with the variations of exercises at her disposal. If she still lived in Honolulu, I'd hire her in a heartbeat. read more

Nicky is the BEST trainer I've ever worked with. She serves you punishment with a smile. During my sessions with her, I saw my muscles pop out for the first time ever and my perception of weight training changed completely! Not only did she become my friend, but she also set the bar for any other trainer I'll have in the future. Unfortunately, she's in San Diego now, so we can't train together, but I am jealous who will be able to do so. Best money I ever spent! read more

I met Nicky through 2 Crazy Wahines, a fitness bootcamp here in Hawaii and I must say, Nicky is an awesome bootcamp instructor. She definitely pushes you when working out and always makes sure that you're doing the workout correctly. And if not, she definitely calls you out on it. Haha. Thanks Nicky for inspiring me to get fit! :) read more

Nicky was my personal trainer for a year and a half. I have worked out with several trainers in the past but got the most visual results from Nicky. Her workouts are always different and challenging. If she was still in Hawaii I would still be her client. read more

I attended Nicky's class at The Village Apartments and it was FANTASTIC!! I had a great time and she REALLY makes you sweat!! Nicky is no joke and if you're looking to really get your butt into shape I highly recommend her. During the workouts she was motivating and encouraging. She takes the time to learn your name and help you if you ever are struggling with a workout or routine during her class. She absolutely pushes and challenges you even when you think you can't go any further. She holds some great classes and I can only imagine one-on-one sessions would be that much better! I will definitely be attending her classes regularly. Nicky is a sweetheart! read more

I simply have no words, but I will say something anyway!! Nicky is beyond amazing! She truly works with you and with your specific goals in mind to get you the results you are looking for. There is no cookie cutter fitness going on here. I am so glad I found her and look forward to the gains I will continue to make under her direction! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to see significant progress with a kick butt trainer and biggest cheerleader! Thank you Nicky!! read more

She is AWESOME! I am getting ready to leave the CA area and wanted something to follow. She made me a nutrition plan and a workout plan in a few days. Then she met me at the gym to go over all the exercises, which she didn't need to do. Additionally, she even changed my nutrition plan because I'm so picky. :) I've been in the gym for years and the exercises she gave me had me thinking I've never been in the gym. I really appreciate it. I wish I would have found her when I first came to CA. I highly recommend Nicky!! read more

I took a spin class led by Nicky at The Village. She led a very inspiring and innovative class. I appreciate that she made sure my bike was set up correctly. We did intense work on the bike and broke this up with some upper body work and some abs to end with. It was a super class. I felt very invigorated! Also Nicky was excellent at showing me some adaptive moves to meet my wrist limitation issues. She kept an eye on everyone's form and helped us make corrections. I highly recommend Nicky. read more

Someone who has known me for the last 5 years pulled me aside. She said, "I have to ask you a question. Did you get butt implants". She said, "you're more muscular and your backside looks like it's lifted up!" This is when I knew for sure I was getting some serious results from working with Nicky! I'm in my late 50's, thin and noticed my skin was really starting to sag. After changing my diet and getting my PT on with her, I changed quickly. I told her what I wanted to accomplish and doubted it could happen because of my age. She took that on as her personal challenge. My arms don't look old anymore! My butt (ahem) looks and feels great! I have a stronger core and feel fantastic! She's FUN and will motivate you! She cares, is funny and will beat your butt (or firm it like no other)! I got results very quickly. I started working out in Dec and it's now Aug 1. I am so very grateful for this woman in my life! Thank you! Thank you for your caring attitude and training wisdom! Juliana read more

Nicky is a fabulous trainer. I have taken her boot camp class and loved it. Don't get me wrong, it was hard and I was a sweaty mess, but she encouraged me throughout the entire hour. I felt like I could do it all even when my body felt like giving up! She's absolutely awesome!! read more

I have been training with Nicky for almost two months and have seen an amazing transformation in overall fitness, strength, and physique. I had plateaued with my workouts before, but once I started training with Nicky I've been seeing the results I've been wanting. The workouts are challenging and no two work outs are the same. Nicky works with you to find the exercises that feel right for your body and fit your goals. She pushes you, but is very vigilant about technique, so I've never felt scared that I would hurt myself. I can't recommend Nicky enough! read more

Best fitness trainer ever! Thinking about the ymca gym or thinking about 24 hours fitness ? Think again, this girl knows her stuff and definitely would rather go to her for a work out that you'll never forget. She really is perfect for work outs and I couldn't imagine getting training from anyone else definitely let the work out training fitness start here and end here. Thanks so much for the great work :)! read more

Nicky is the real deal. She walks the walk - she really takes the time and, dare I say, love, to tailor workouts for your body type, abilities and goals. She is down to earth, extremely fit and great fun to workout with. But more importantly she gets results! I spent the last 2 years sitting in front of a computer unable to overcome the psychological block to get up and exercise. I tried everything from Crossfit, Pilates, OrangeTheory, Yoga, running etc. I always stopped. Nicky came along and has managed to get me moving again. She went above and beyond by ordering meals for me at a local health food delivery service, calculating the macros I needed to meet my goals. She gets up at an ungodly hour and comes to me because its the only time I can fit in workouts. I've never met someone so dedicated to their craft - and she can craft you into the body you want. So happy to have had a chance meeting with the best personal trainer out there - who I now consider a friend. read more
