Nicole J.

An Irish dancer since childhood, Nicole took her first Pure Barre class in 2016 as a way to cross-train for international competitions. Pure Barre has since become a non-negotiable part of her routine, so much so that she’s taken over 1,500 classes at studios all over the country. The mind-body connection it's helped her foster has grounded her through major life transitions, including moving home to Chicago after nearly a decade in New York City, recovering from major hip surgery, staying healthy and strong through two pregnancies, and navigating new motherhood. When she’s not talking about how you can achieve great form, she’s probably gushing about her daughters (Aoife and Una) or mini dachshund (Genevieve).
