This client had a history of flare-ups when exercising so she was pretty excited to be able to move without pain and to feel great the following day!

“Each session is a challenge and leaves me feeling a bit stronger, very happy and healthy, I could say I prance out like a young gymnast!”

“At the tender age of 69 I decided I needed to strengthen my aging body and was lucky enough to meet Nicole while cold water swimming.

I knew very little about Pilates but had heard that it would improve my strength and flexibility and, since starting, my balance. From my first session I have found all things I’d heard to be true and indeed more as each week has progressed.

Nicole’s studio is fresh, modern and sparkling clean! Her Reformer and all associated additions are in tip top condition.

Each session is a challenge and leaves me feeling a bit stronger, very happy and healthy, I could say I prance out like a young gymnast!

The Reformer is an amazing piece of machinery and Nicole knows it and what it can do for your body like the back of her hand!

I would say to anyone of any age, try Pilates with Nicole she knows her stuff, as the saying goes.

She is careful to make sure you are comfortable doing each exercise and will ask at the beginning of each session how you and your body are feeling.

Nicole Sheldrake, a bright, knowledgeable and professional instructor of Pilates.”

"Sheldrake Pilates is the perfect workout! I’ve been taking Pilates classes from Nicole for almost 3 years, and love that she offers both online and in studio classes.

Doing Pilates has improved my muscle tone, flexibility, and balance – I can feel the difference in all my daily activities whether I’m out walking, kayaking or just doing chores around the house. Plus, Nicole offers a collection of recorded video classes to work out to for those days you just can’t live without her and Pilates!

Nicole is an exceptional instructor with a compassionate, warm and fun personality! She provides clear and helpful guidance through all the movements and breathing techniques, and I like that she incorporates the use of weights, bands or other props to compliment the online mat class. Her classes are suitable for everyone, and she’s great at accommodating any limitations you may have or recommending movements to ramp up or down your workout for whatever challenge you prefer.

Most of all she makes working out enjoyable and fun! I look forward to each class, and love how I feel afterwards!"

  • “I didn't know I was hyperextensible until I was 60 and had already accumulated a lifetime of injuries. I couldn't figure out how to maintain strength without hurting a tendon or muscle attachment. I've had PT so often, I can't qualify for long term care insurance! In taking this course, I finally put together what PT's have been trying to teach me about HOW to prepare my body to move before exercising. I feel more hopeful about aging.”

  • “I learned that even at my own snail's pace, and with only gentle movements, my body can benefit and be responsive. In the past, my approach to movement has led me to give up. Paige and Nicole have given me a great foundation upon which to build consistency.”

  • “I went from constant/chronic pain management with temporary relief, to a significant decrease in pain, continued progress through overall strengthening, better mobility, and more pain-free days than not.”
