“Nicole and company make you feel at home with small classes, personalized instruction and accommodation for every level. Her decades of experience as a ballet instructor make her the perfect teacher, owner and coach at Grassroots! It’s an amazing workout and has only helped me with weight training at the gym too. I’ve become stronger, more flexible and most of all, it’s a calm, enjoyable experience that doesn’t feel like I have to make myself go…because I want to.”
-Nels Henderson
Nicole is an excellent instructor. She is able to explain techniques clearly and customizes classes for each experience level. Grassroots Pilates is a warm and nurturing place. Highly recommend!

“There are so many reasons I have gravitated towards GRP, I can’t possibly name them all. GRP studio is an experience unlike any other pilates studio, the instructors are all professionally trained with extensive knowledge of form and the body. When at the studio, I know I am doing the technique correctly because of the guidance provided by the instructors. The environment is welcoming, and friendly, without a sense of being rushed through a workout. You really get to receive the full benefits of all that pilates has to offer when at the Grassroots studio! I will never go anywhere else. It truly is the best environment for mind, body, and spirit! Thank you Grassroots team!”

“I am new to Pilates, and after dealing with two knee replacements, have found it’s just what my body needs. I feel better than I have in years. I am getting stronger everywhere. I love Nicole and the other teachers that I have had. They explain the movements perfectly, so I know exactly what to do. They are considerate of everyone’s physical capabilities and are very gentle. An hour of class flies by because it is so much fun.”
–Pam Goetz
“Prenatal Pilates at Grassroots with Jen was an anchor for me throughout my pregnancy. I felt steady and strong throughout all the changes in my body from the first trimester to third; I know Pilates was a contributing factor.”
–Maressa Garner
“I’ve been taking pilates at Grassroots for about six months now, and I love everything about it. The instructors are wonderful–they’re so knowledgeable and encouraging–the other clients are fun, and what a great workout! I’m getting stronger, and certainly more flexible, with every expertly led session! Thanks, and keep up the great work!”

“I am really enjoying attending Pilates classes at Grass Roots Pilates! Nicole, Amanda, and the other teachers are very helpful. My goal (as a senior) is to continue with Pilates for as long as possible.”

“I started Pilates with private lessons two years ago because I am a lazy person who does not like to exercise. I decided that if I committed to an individual session I would be responsible and make myself go. Much to my surprise I found that I enjoyed the workout so much that I added a group lesson and soon encouraged my 86 year old husband to join me. We also added his daughter and a young family friend so the group lesson soon felt like a Family lesson. Nicole and her staff are very attuned to being aware of what each individual is capable of doing as well as their limitations. Now each week I look forward to my two sessions and have begun thinking of adding a third. Grassroots Pilates is a very professionally run organization and the instructors are top notch.”
