Nicole Huey

Pilates Instructor

Fitness has been an integral part of my life journey. From playing softball and volleyball growing up, to transitioning into running after high school, physical activity has been a constant. As I found a general joy in moving my body, I realized how much it benefitted my mental state. I found joy in pushing myself athletically, which enabled me to accomplish one of my greatest feats - running in the LA Marathon in March 2020. After graduating from UCLA in 2022 as a Philosophy major and History minor, I discovered a newfound passion for Pilates. This led me to obtain my STOTT Pilates certification in September 2023. I look forward to helping others learn Pilates and find how transformative it can be for both body and mind.

To see someone benefit from Pilates is a great joy as an instructor. One of my most incredible moments so far as an instructor has been helping a dear friend who has been in severe body pain as a result of years of sports injuries. She had constant trips to the doctor, chiropractor, and physical therapist. Being able to guide her in moves that would relieve her pain and help her body get back to the way it moved pre-injury has been such an amazing experience to be a part of.

Ashley Smith

Pilates Instructor

With 30+ years in the fitness industry — as a group fitness instructor, personal trainer, and even a gym owner — I thought I’d seen it all. But discovering Pilates changed everything.

Like many, I’ve juggled a demanding finance career, full-time motherhood, and caring for aging parents — often at the expense of my own well-being. Long hours, travel, and constant stress took a toll on my body and mind.

Then Pilates entered my life. Within a few classes, I felt stronger, calmer, and more energized than I had in years. The transformation was so profound that I earned my Pilates Certification through Pilates Sports Center (PSC) and my Personal Training Certification through the National College of Exercise Professionals (NCEP). I trained with seasoned instructors, taught in local studios, and expanded my expertise through advanced workshops on topics from low back care to athletic performance.

Now, I’m passionate about helping others experience the same renewal, supporting women through peri and post-menopause and helping men in high-pressure careers to reduce stress, improve posture, and boost endurance. I also work with athletes, including pickleball players, tennis players, and golfers, to enhance core strength, mobility, and power for peak performance and injury prevention.

Pilates transformed my life. Let’s see what it can do for yours.
