Nicola Chernicoff
Instructor
Nicola was born and raised in England and was first exposed to Pilates many decades ago while training as a professional dancer. She worked successfully in Musical Theater and television in the UK. She gravitated towards fitness, became certified to teach group fitness classes, then worked as personal trainer in gyms around NYC. Relocating back to London she pursued another passion: interior design, and was employed by established designers in London, and a few years later in NYC.
As she ebbed and flowed between careers, she realized what gave her the most pleasure: Pilates. For many years she concentrated on Pilates mat classes but once she discovered the reformer, she never looked back.
Nicola loves the fact that Pilates can meet you exactly where your body is at. It is suitable for an absolute beginner or easily tailored towards a professional athlete. As an instructor she is patient and encouraging, focusing on correct form and technique. Nicola hopes to be motivational and instrumental in your personal Pilates journey, and will strive to improve your overall health and well-being.
