If you met me on the street one of the first things I’d tell you is I’m just me, Nicki Thiel, a small town girl from a farming community in Idaho. I love that I am truly a Southeast Idaho native having lived all over the valley. My roots have taught me people are just people…as I am just me. We are all out to be our best selves.

The next thing I would share is I help you be just you…your best self.

It's one of my superpowers.

I eat and breathe my calling as a Pilates instructor. Pilates is the tool I use to change people's lives by helping them move better and feel better.

When I break it down to the nitty gritty, there are two things that allow me to change my clients lives.

ONE: (the official stuff) My dedication to the Pilates method has led me to become the highest trained, most experienced Pilates instructor in Southeast Idaho and currently the only Fully Certified Stott Pilates instructor in the state. I am certified to teach strength and conditioning through Kettlebells and Suples® systems. I have taught movement for 30 years through dance, athletics, and fitness.

TWO: (the important stuff)

I see you.

(I always feel like I'm stepping out of the movie Sixth Sense when I say that.

I don't see dead people, but I do see bodies.)

I see - how your body moves as you walk in the door.

- how your body feels as you sit.

- the movements that function correctly.

- those movements that don't.

- where the tension sits in your muscles.

- how that tension changes how you feel inside and out.

I see

- how your body will move by the end of class

- how your body can move in a month

- how you will be moving next year

You need to know I see with more than just my eyes. I see with my heart.

That's the secret behind my superpower and is a game changer when people are ready to do more for their body than ignore it or beat the hell out if it and call it fitness.

You are not alone in your journey to be your best, because it isn't just my passion, it's my PURPOSE to help others.
