NickyT Coaching

Cannot recommend Nicky’s coaching highly enough! She is expert, grounded, and human in her training approach - always puts me at ease, hilarious and ever ready with the real talk. Nicky is very inclusive and focuses entirely on what is possible with an authentic and upbeat growth approach - through training with her I’ve improved my positive self talk and celebrate the wins at all levels.

Firecracker with Nicky Taylor - 3 months programI should start by saying I didn’t grow up playing sports or being very concerned about nutrition because I was naturally small framed but I got closer to my mid 20s and into my 30s, I put on weight like anyone does. I would try to work out, joined a gym for a while but never knew which exercises to do or if I was doing them properly so I always stuck to the cardio machines and never actually worked out consistently.I started working out on and off with Nicky in November 2020 when she offered Zoom classes during the pandemic because I wanted to feel stronger and more balanced when horse riding. It was the first time in my life (at almost 30!!) that I felt comfortable working out and asking questions about form as opposed to other group classes experiences where I felt I was supposed to already know how to workout. 

In December 2020 I broke my shoulder and tried to get back into working out while rehabbing my shoulder, then in October 2021 I got shingles (Virus that affects the nerve system) in my face and eye and when the doctors told me it was triggered by low immune system and stress, I knew I had to take better care of my body. That’s when I heard about the Firecracker Program! I had never wanted to commit financially to a workout program because I knew I’m the type of person to get excited and go all in and then give up because I’m too exhausted. Nothing ever really stuck. I felt comfortable going into it with Nicky because I knew the type of person she was and the way she views working out, which aligns with what works for me! 

We are at the end of the 3 months program now and it is the longest in my life I have been able to sustain exercising in a healthy way! Nicky helped me look at how I fuel my body and how important it is to eat enough protein (I eat mostly a plant based diet), she also helped me realize that going all in is not sustainable in the long run and I should schedule rest days for progress to come. She’s helped me understand that fluctuations in energy levels are normal and it doesn’t mean everything is doomed and that you should give up, maybe do something a little less intense that day! 
I now stand up straighter than I ever have (upper body workouts for the win!), my body feels and looks like what I imagine myself looking like and I don’t even weigh myself anymore because I feel good and it’s all that matters. I know what good form is and even find myself adding little exercises on my own after a recorded workout with Nicky. I feel much more capable in all aspects of life than before, too, that’s always nice! 
I’ve loved having Nicky to talk me through it all when I was frustrated or feeling low and would have otherwise given up. She is so friendly, kind and willing to make things work for each individual. I feel like we are real life friends now even though we are so far away!I would definitely recommend this program!

I have been working with Nicky since 2020 and can honestly say the experience has changed my life!I initially started working with her to improve my knowledge about nutrition and exercise, but she has provided so much more than this! She has helped improve my midset and overall wellbeing in ways I couldn't imagine.Nicky is so friendly, approachable, non judgemental and has an excellent way of explaining things. No matter what mood I am in at the beginning of a call, it will always end with me feeling great and motivated for the week ahead.I would wholeheartedly recommend!!

Nicky has changed my fitness completely. Had a history of back, hip and knee issues. Couldn’t lift weights at all. Well that’s changed! I feel strong, fit and mobile. Then after another break having a pacemaker fitted, Nicky’s encouragement and support has helped me get my fitness back! Great technique, mobility classes are fab and work! Love her different classes, a good variety to fit into your day. Really enjoy our 1:1 to cement everything. Would highly recommend.

I’ve been working with Nicky since early 2023 after going through a bad period in my life, Nicky has not only helped me with my nutrition but with my mindset and general well-being. She’s helped me look at food in a different way, helped me though a grieving process and pushed me to do things that I wouldn’t have done! Nicky works with so much care and compassion, I would highly recommend anyone to Nicky thats struggling and needs that bit of help in their lives.

Having spent the last 12 weeks on the Get Thrive programme with Nicky I can not recommend working with her enough! She has not only helped me to fuel my body in the right way but has also helped to change my mindset on the way I view my health and most importantly knowing that even a little movement a day goes a long way! Nicky truly has a way of inspiring people even when she may not even realise she is doing it!

Nicky is absolutely amazing, she is great at explaining each exercise to ensure that you do it correctly, is so encouraging and inspiring! There are a range of different options for you to work with Nicky, and she is great at offering modifications for any issues you might have. Highly recommend!

What a fabulous lady Nicky is! Positive, motivating, encouraging, so knowledgeable and always at the end of the phone when you need her. Nicky has really helped get me back into a routine and really start to feel good about working out and eating well. As well as all of that, really realistic about what real life involves, and coming up with a plan that’ll work around a busy life! There are so many options on the members platform, making it so easy to fit something in.Thanks for being you Nicky xx
