Origin Barre Teacher Training Program

Nicole is the creator and owner of Origin House of Fitness, offering yoga, Pilates and Bootcamp classes in addition to Barre Fitness. As an athlete and overall fitness enthusiast, Nicole has had the opportunity to practice and study with incredible teachers, in many different disciplines from all over the world, fueling the passion behind the development of her approach to teaching fitness based classes.

Running was her first love, and first glimpse, even at a young age into, into the connection between the mind, body and spirit, and the therapeutic elements of movement based practices. A nasty fall and injury in high school ended her love affair with running, but she was introduced to yoga, Pilates and functional fitness as a part of her rehabilitation regimen. She traded in her running shoes for a mountain bike, and rock climbing gear, and continued to explore meditative movement as “exercise.” During a mellow yoga class in her early twenties, she experienced a panic attack and relived trauma during the class. After being left alone in the room by the teacher, she began a quest to understand the effects of trauma in the body, and how movement/exercise could promote healing and reconnection. Nicole has a minor in Yoga and a BA in Contemplative Psychology from Naropa University in Boulder, CO, and thousands of hours of training and certification in: Yoga, Pilates, Spinning, Functional Fitness, Strength and Conditioning Training, and Barre Fitness.

Nicole stumbled upon Barre Fitness by accident, and was immediately hooked after just one class. After 10 years of practice, the overall method has completely changed her body, and her approach to teaching group fitness classes.

She has taken over 1,000 barre fitness classes alone, and studied: The Barre Method, Barre3, Pure Barre, and The Dailey Method for over a decade. She ultimately decided to train under the Dailey Method, as it was the most rigorous training that she could find. Every single teacher training program that she has undergone, has always felt lacking in some way, and she is consistently heartbroken at the lack of integrity in the general yoga and fitness industry’s methodology for training teachers. Her disappointing and painful personal experiences were the catalyst to try and make a change, in effort to prevent others from having to undergo the same pain and frustration, and to create an awareness that will ultimately hold teachers to a higher level of integrity and accountability, and prepare them to actually teach- different types of bodies, with different stories.

When you choose to join this training, you will not only have access to the most extensive Barre Fitness Teacher Training in the world, but also to Nicole, and all of the wisdom and life experience that she has devoted herself to for over a decade. She is committed to teaching you, to become a highly effective and empowered teacher.
