Niki Wulf
Instructor
I was drug to my first step aerobics class, kicking and screaming the whole way, when I was 18 yrs old; at 19, I started teaching and have loved the journey it has taken me on for the last 26 years. I became certified in many different styles of fitness classes from Step, Hi Low, Shadow boxing (TaeBo style), Kickboxing, Spinning, Boot Camp, Power Pump, Zumba, Yoga, HIIT, Mat Science and Personal Training as well as becoming lifeguard certified, Instructor Trainer certified and Water Safety Instructor. I absolutely love leading fitness classes and helping people become healthier versions of themselves at every fitness level and age. I have taught everyone from the littles all the way up to my 70 and 80 year olds who still enjoy coming to classes and moving their bodies at appropriate levels for them. About 5 years ago, my fitness lifestyle was drastically changed as I felt my hip give out on me during a Zumba cool down. After many years of rest, ice, pain meds, physical therapy, chiropractic appts and one injection... I recently received the news that at 45 years old, I need a new left hip. All of my years of jumping and pounding and twisting had really done a number on me. Pilates has become my saving grace as I am no longer pounding or muscling through my workouts but rather being kind to my body and learning the control and strengthen from within and I'm so happy to be able to continue to leading classes for EVERY BODY.
Outside of Club Pilates, I am a full-time Realtor, mother of two college age daughters; Lexi 21 and Berit 18, and teach many of the before mentioned classes part-time at the Blair YMCA. I love reading inspirational books, listening to 80's classic rock, hiking (especially the Grand Canyon) and spending time with family and friends. Above all, I love the Lord and am thankful for this gift He's given to me.
