Finds Her Freedom Once Again

When Nicole (affectionately known as Nicky) was a little girl in southern Illinois, she found her freedom through dance.  You’d find her leaping and moving to music that inspired her soul – and her excitement brought a smile to everyone who was lucky enough to be in the area. 

Today, she’s still moving to music and her new passion is a strong cousin to dance.  Nicky’s spending her days practicing Pilates – both on the reformer {specialized Pilates machines} and in group mat classes – and she’s discovering a new kind of freedom … strength from within.

“When I was younger, dance was my exercise. I didn’t have to do much else to keep in shape,” explained Nicky.  “Now that I’m older, I don’t have the time or opportunity to dance like I used to.  With Pilates, I am experiencing the same results as I once did – except there’s no impact to my joints!” 

The results she’s describing are defined muscles, flatter abs and a tremendous increase in core strength.  “I’ve combined the group mat classes with reformer and the impact has been remarkable,” Nicky reflected. “My body is transforming – not only am I more sculpted, my posture has improved and I’m regaining my dancers figure.” 

Other people have noticed the changes in her, too. Recently, Nicky walked into the Studio for a reformer session with a healthy glow.  “Today’s a great day,” she laughed. “Someone came up to me and told me I am getting smaller and more defined!” 

Nicky started with Pilates Level 1 at the Studio last year and was the first to graduate to Level 2.  “I had been taking Pilates at another facility prior to joining Roxanne’s,” said Nicky.  “There is a difference.  There’s a strong emphasis on proper technique and precision and Roxanne doesn’t let her clients cheat. That passion for excellence and attention to detail is what guarantees results.”  

Congratulations on becoming our Client of the Month, Nicki!  Your passion for Pilates is an inspiration to all!
