What a rewarding experience! I went for the Friday at 5:30a class and it was the best start to my weekend. Perfect mix of strength, stretch and motivating music! The camaraderie with ladies afterwards was an unexpected delight too!

All equipment is clean, well maintained and high quality!

I’ve done every kind of workout, and Hype & Tone is hands-down the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Nikki makes every class fun, challenging, and empowering, and I’ve never felt stronger or more confident. The energy, the music, and the community make it something I truly look forward to.

Truly the best class I’ve ever taken, and has become a part of my morning routine five days a week over the last year now. I started taking her classes feeling so out of place in my postpartum body, and have slowly but surely been finding myself again and loving the progress. The amount of detail, love, and care that Nikki has put into her classes does not go unnoticed. The atmosphere of the studio is clean, feminine, and doesn’t overwhelm you with equipment the way walking into a gym would. She emphasizes where women should be focusing on contracting their muscle groups before even holding a weight- something that is often overlooked in many other fitness classes (especially for women who have had babies!). The community that comes with being a part of the studio is a bonus you didn’t expect. There are so many inspiring women who end up being friends- but for newcomers or people who only visit on occasion, you are always sure to feel comfortable to get help from the group if you’re confused about a certain workout or where something is located. It’s a beautiful community and I feel so blessed to be a part of it. Thank you Nikki!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hype & Tone with Nikki has truly become one of the best parts of my week. I’ve tried just about every type of workout—Pilates, barre, bootcamps, you name it—but nothing has clicked the way this has. Nikki’s classes are the perfect mix of strength, cardio, and toning, and she somehow makes every class feel fresh and fun. I leave feeling strong, sweaty, and like I actually did something for my body.

The studio is gorgeous and has such a great energy—chic, elevated, but totally welcoming. Nikki leads with so much heart and hype, and she has this amazing way of pushing you without ever making you feel out of place. The playlists are always 🔥—think Beyoncé, Kanye, and a little electronic to keep you moving.

Lately, I’ve added private sessions with Nikki, and they’ve taken everything to the next level. Each private she customizes the workout to exactly what my body needs, and I can already see and feel the difference. Best investment I’ve made by far!

And on the days I can’t make it into the studio (because—life), I just stream the class from home. Same burn, same energy, same results. That flexibility has made it so much easier to stay consistent.

Nikki genuinely cares—she watches form, gives helpful cues, and celebrates your wins right along with you. You’re not just another person in the room—she sees you and wants you to succeed.

If you’re looking for something that actually delivers and fits your real life, I highly recommend Hype & Tone. It’s not just a workout—it’s a total lifestyle vibe, and I’m so happy I found it.

I’ve been streaming the classes for three years now, and I’m still just as happy as I was on day one! As someone who streams from home, it was really important for me to find a program where the exercise is engaging and the music is motivating—and this absolutely delivers on both! I also feel like I’ve really seen results, which keeps me coming back for more. I love that we use different props in each class—it keeps things fresh and fun every time! Thank you, Nikki! 💕

Best decision I ever made was to show up for myself to this class. Nikki takes the time to explain how to engage your muscles and get that mind/muscle connection. It’s not easy, and there are always modifications, depending on your needs. The women in this studio are amazing and motivating. Having the small group setting and seeing the same people at every class helps it feel completely comfortable, and almost like a family or sisterhood. The studio and the weights/items used to exercise are always clean and tidy. I’m never leaving ♥️.

It’s almost been a year since I started taking classes at hype and tone and it truly has changed my life! I started with the trial having no idea what to expect but after doing the first class I totally understood why she has so many returning members ( I jokingly call it the cult) I immediately signed up for a membership and fully invested in the cult!

What I love most about the workout is that you are able to do it 5 days a week, she targets different parts of the body each day and whether it’s your first class or you’re an OG member, there’s still going to be a challenge and she will kick your butt in those 50 min classes. She even offers you adjustments if you’re prenatal/or postpartum so you don’t feel left out during some of the workouts!

All this to say, it can be a bit overwhelming the first class especially for the coordinated warm up but don’t let it stop you from continuing to go, being surrounded by supportive women and seeing the same faces every class is what makes you want to come back to these workouts every day! Nikki has created something so special and I will forever be so thankful to have found this place!

I have been using the Hype + Tone Method for almost four years now. As a fitness enthusiast I have tried every type of group fitness class around and nothing has ever come close to Nikki’s method. From her unique whole body method to the incredible play list and the amazing community that shows up daily to work hard physically and mentally, this is the place for everyone.
The studio is clean and well appointed. Most of the equipment is provided for you but you may want to invest in a few items to have as yours alone. Her membership driven model ensures that there is availability for you in the classes you want to take. Highly recommend.

To start Nikki is a pro. I have never met someone so gifted in their craft! I have always struggled to reach my fitness goals and physique until I got hooked/addicted to Hype&Tone. I am never bored knowing what comes next and a year later am still challenged at every single class! An extra bonus is the amazing tunes. If you wanna shed weight, not bulk but feel strong, and get an endorphin release then look no further! This workout method is for you!

Taking Hype and Tone class with Nikki has quite honestly been a game changer for me!! I have found that the consistency of workouts available via the online streaming platform and the approach taken by Nikki to design workouts that leave you feeling worked (thoroughly) but not exhausted is INCREDIBLE. It means that you can come back day after day - and you’re working efficiently and effectively.

The classes are challenging and encourage development and growth - some moves require practice and learning new movement patterns, which I love that’s a great challenge for the body and the mind!

Equipment is fab and fun, working with the step I find a brilliant prop to help train balance and stability, whilst also nurturing focus and concentration. Love the TBB workouts too - but you can do loads of workouts with little to no equipment too.

Videos are accessible, the stream well, sound quality is great too.

Instruction will also superb. Clear focused instruction from Nikki.

Lastly. Music is ALWAYS perfect!!

I have taken several types of total body classes in my life and Hype and Tone ranks at the top. I like her style as a teacher in terms of what she says and when she talks. I love when she offers and “up level” but never makes those of us staying with the more moderate choice feel i adequate. Her music choice is outstanding. I stream the classes and have been consistently impressed with the video and sound quality.

During the pandemic I tried every “online subscription” and nothing really stuck. From the first class I did, which was free online during a trial, I was hooked! This is by far the best virtual class… want to know why? Because she doesn’t focus on making it like an online class… just a video of her live in a class.. so it feels just like the real thing! Not to mention her playlist are top notch! Worth it and then some!

I love this workout! You absolutely will not get bored. Nikki keeps things interesting with props, never too much talking, so much variety and every single muscle shaking when you’re done. Her audio and video quality are great and her studio is light and airy. As a streamer it really feels like you’re right there in the class.

I’ve been doing these classes virtually for a few weeks. You do have to get some equipment or improvise, but that keeps it interesting and fun. It is a great workout that infuses more quick cardio and sculpting with slower movements. I’ve loved it and I love the music. I am super particular about workouts I do and will stick with and this is a winner!

Nikki’s class is AMAZING!! It is like no other workout that I’ve done before and I’m a fitness instructor. It has all the good things; toning, cardio, heat to take it to the next level and variety! Each class is so different and it’s always a challenge! The studio where she teaches is beautiful and the equipment she uses is top notch. She also provides childcare. Seriously, try her class either in-person or streaming. You will not be disappointed.

I love Nikki and her classes. I have been a student of hers for over 5 years and we’ve spent that last 2 years at her new studio. This studio is such a gem and the way Nikki has set her class up is so well thought out and how she would want to be taught. I love how the first 30mins of class we are doing cardio moving fast with fun movements. The last part of class we are moving slower and toning. I can see such a difference in my body, and how I feel. You have to try the class out, promise you’ll be hooked:)

You’ll never get bored with Nikki! I fell in love with her method because of the props (I love props) and the music, but I stay for two reasons. First she is so creative and comes up with the best combinations, but you don’t need to be a dancer to follow along. Second, she doesn’t talk too much. She tells us what to do then just let’s us be! She doesn’t remind you of every little thing like you’ve never exercised before. Give it a try, you’ll be hooked!

I have been working out with Nikki for two months. The first time I tried it I was hooked. The music, the unique moves that are super challenging and effective and it’s fun! It’s my new favorite workout, the only one I do. And I have done it all.
