Peachstep Teacher Testimonials

 

“I am so thankful to be a peach! Nicole has really changed my life with her outlook on fitness. She really emphasizes listening to your body, being inclusive, and providing the clients with a judgment free zone, which is really what every workout class should be about! I am fully obsessed with Peachstep and what is has done for me physically but more importantly, mentally. I have been taking Peachstep classes since 2018 and I still love it!! Throughout our training Nicole really provides a safe zone that is all about lifting each other up and learning how to be the best instructors we can be for our clients. She continues that support after the training and is really there to help you get through any challenges you may face as an instructor. The peach community itself is on a whole other level and I will forever be thankful to be apart of it!”

“I wish I had a studio like Newport Peach when I was first getting into working out years ago. The culture is inclusive and friendly — not just the teachers, but clients also make the effort to welcome new faces. It makes such a difference especially when you can be nervous coming into a new place. I’ve grown so much since transitioning from a client to an instructor. Teaching has brought me so much joy over the years and continues to do so. From Nicole (the owner), to the instructors, and the clients, I feel like Newport Peach is such unique and special place.”

“Nicole’s peach step training was one of the most thorough and fun experiences. I was initially drawn to certify for peach step because I loved the inclusivity of the classes. They are welcoming, effective and I felt a sense of community and friendship every time. I never felt judged or the need to have on the latest gym styles and as a women in her 50’s my body needed strength training, balance conditioning and cardio to stay healthy & strong. She also trained us to provide the modifications necessary for individuals with injuries & pregnancy. Nicole focuses on the deep pelvic floor, abdominal and gluteal exercises is really what every woman needs but other workouts rarely touch on this. I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity to receive training from someone so experienced and such a beautiful soul as well!”
