Nicole J.

An Irish dancer since childhood, Nicole found Pure Barre in 2016 as a way to cross-train for international competitions. She was immediately hooked and has since taken over 1,000 classes across the country. In 2021, she took the next big step in her journey by training to become an instructor. Nicole's favorite part of Pure Barre is the mental strength and mind-body connection it has helped her cultivate for a lifetime. Pure Barre has supported her through many life changes, including moving back to her hometown of Chicago after nearly a decade in New York City, recovering from major hip surgery, staying accountable during pregnancy, and navigating new motherhood. When she's not sharing tips on achieving great form, Nicole is likely gushing about her baby girl or her mini dachshund.
