Already being a certified Pilates and yoga teacher with thousands of hours of teacher trainings under my belt, Nicole’s reformer and cadillac cohorts by far succeeded any other training to date. Her clear and concise cueing and the way she explains everything makes so much sense to me. These trainings really deepened my understanding of the method and connected a lot of dots. I have a much better eye now for working with clients, seeing imbalances and knowing how to confidently work with them. Thank you Nicole!

I had a fantastic private session with Nicole Smith during her guest pop-up in the San Francisco Bay Area. The session was not only physically beneficial but also incredibly informative for my personal Pilates practice. Nicole began with a thorough postural assessment and quickly identified imbalances that may be contributing to my meniscus tear.

Throughout the session, she had me adjust my body alignment to better connect with and feel the classical work. She also modified exercises as needed while maintaining the integrity and flow of the repertoire, which helped me engage underactive muscles I hadn’t been fully accessing before.

Nicole’s deep knowledge and authentic passion for the classical Pilates system really stood out—she truly believes in the work because it functions systemically, and she communicates that with clarity and care. Her encouraging energy and skilled manual cues helped me move with more awareness and depth.

I left the session feeling empowered, aligned, and equipped with tools to continue progressing in my Pilates journey. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with Nicole and hope to continue training with her in the future!

My session w/ Nicole was nothing short of amazing 🙏🏽✨ it was everything I needed and more. She’s a tough, yet sweet cookie. Someone to see when you’re ready and willing to put in that work. I’ve been studying Pilates for a couple years now and it truly continues to blow my mind. It is now 3 days post my private session w/ Nicole and I am still receiving the healing benefits of this beautiful movement practice. I look forward to more Pilates w/ Core Love Culture. It was truly worth making the trip from NJ 🙏🏽✨ As for my experience with the team - they are an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Nicole - I left your studio and your presence truly inspired to be GREAT ✨🥲 Gracias!

I’ve been working with Nicole for almost 2 years now and she has brought amazing energy, great enthusiasm and a high level of intensity to every class.

I remember after my first class I was surprised at how difficult Pilates could be. It’s a lot different than going to the gym but you quickly notice how special it is and the respect it demands. It has even helped me in the gym, specifically in strengthening my core and helping me become more flexible and fluid in my movements.

Nicole is awesome inside and outside of the studio and is truly one of the great gems of the Pilates world!

Make an appointment and ask her to sing come on over.

Nicole is one of the best instructors. She doesn’t miss a thing, she encourages me to get beyond my self-limitations, and I feel stronger and stronger after each session. It is the best, safest cross training for me as a competitive athlete.

If I could give Nicole 10 starts I would. I was first introduced to Nicole when I contacted Gratz Pilates about equipment inquiries. They referred me to Nicole, whom I had seen featured on their site. Nicole's infectious personality immediately prompted me to take private lessons from her, and I am so grateful I did. Every session has been nothing short of enlightening, and Nicole manages to make me do things I thought I could never do in Pilates. As a pilates instructor myself, I am very selective of who I take lessons from. I can say with full confidence that Nicole is an extremely gifted teacher who will help you reach your goals. Her attention to detail, compassion, knowledge, positivity, and dedication to continuing education is so inspiring. My other teachers notice a big leap forward in my practice when I commit to regular private sessions with Nicole, and my students all gain from my lessons with her. Thank you so much Nicole!
