Niche offers an incredible Pilates teacher training. The master trainers, Jaclyn and Joelle, are truly masters of their profession. They have created an environment for each instructor in training to learn and grow to their full potential. I now send everyone that is interested in teaching to this training.

This studio is stunning! I dropped in for a reformer class here on a Saturday morning. I was greeted by a cheerful front staff member who made me feel at ease in a new place. The class was fun and a great workout. The team at Niche has built a Pilates oasis. I was already impressed by their old location, but they have far surpassed expectations with this new spot. They have paid attention to every detail in the amenities and ambiance, right down to local, wonderfully fragrant soap in the lavatory to cool, lavender towels offered at the end of class. I felt like I transported out of Richmond to a “big city” studio! Highly recommend.

I have been taking classes at Niche since December and it has ruined gyms for me haha! It is the perfect balance of pushing yourself but yet still relaxing. I feel so comfortable and confident in every class, every instructor is so kind and helpful!! Caroline has been so so helpful, I have always had terrible knees and she has truly taken the time to work with me in class and individually to make sure I am not in any pain and really helping me to correct the problem! Thanks to pilates I have been able to run more frequently without pain in my knees.

Niche and their NIT training is incredible. The instructors are so good at what they do, and they are extremely welcoming. NIT was better than I could have imagined. The amount of information you receive during NIT and after while you’re completing your hours is extremely helpful and thorough. I constantly go back to the videos provided to us whenever I have questions about specific moves on the reformer. 1000/10 would recommend Niche for all things Pilates.

I absolutely adore this studio in every way! From the classes to the instructors, the aesthetics, and the overall atmosphere, everything is fantastic. I have taken part in several instructor training courses with Jaclyin, who is an outstanding expert with years of experience in the fitness industry, specifically in pilates. She ensures that you are fully equipped to teach after completing one of her courses. Caroline and Joelle are also exceptional instructors who provide excellent guidance throughout the course. I highly recommend taking classes at this studio and pursuing their instructor training program.

The NIT program Niche offers is truly exceptional! Each instructor is incredibly well versed in all things relating to the body, movement, and pilates. I received high quality, personalized training and support and feel equipped and confident as I begin my career in teaching reformer pilates. I would recommend this class to anyone looking to get certified!

I have been coming to Niche for over a year now and absolutely love it! I take private sessions with Karen and group classes another day or two per week. I have had multiple joint replacements and other health issues and Karen is extremely knowledgeable in how to help me with any areas where I am having issues or struggles. I have never felt stronger in my entire life and have seen noticeable changes to my strength and posture. If you have any health issues that affect your breathing, joints, or muscles I recommend trying out Pilates at Niche..it is a game changer!! The group class instructors are awesome and knowledgeable. I have enjoyed every single class I take at Niche and usually stay a few minutes after class to chat with the staff as everyone is so friendly! Feels like one big family!

I have been coming to Niche classes for over 6 months now and am loving it! I have been in and out of physical therapy for over 3 years now, and practicing reformer Pilates has been super helpful for pain management and core activation. I come out of class feeling strong and supported physically :). I have loved being in classes with Caroline and Joelle. Their cues are always on point and they are both so kind. Way to go!

Such a cute place! Dropped in for a class since there aren’t any studios near my hometown and it was a very welcoming atmosphere. People of all levels of experience are welcomed

Love the classes here. They added a mat class and love this for core work. The new space they moved to is really beautiful with a lot of natural light. Great for mind, body and soul. Love love

I usually chicken out at workout classes and don't feel fully prepared before or during the workout but not at Niche! I feel very welcomed and taken care of during my class workouts. I never feel like I'm "behind" or don't know what I'm doing. Even though there are multiple people in the class, the instructors make sure you are making movements correctly and safely in a non judgemental environment. I have really enjoyed my membership here!

When I was looking for a low impact workout option that was also affordable, it was a much bigger struggle than I had initially anticipated. Enter Niche's community membership! It has been wonderful learning about Pilates from their incredible instructors (especially Karen) and becoming more in-tune with my body in a sustainable way.
