MEET OUR TEAM
Nicky Kiel
Director & Founder
Nicky is a dedicated instructor on a mission to empower individuals to become the strongest versions of themselves both physically and mentally. With a deep-rooted love for Pilates, Nicky discovered its transformative power in fostering a profound connection between mind and body through mindful movement.
Nicky’s teaching philosophy revolves around dynamic workouts that not only build strength and elevate heart rate but also offer moments of stillness and focus on breath. Driven by a passion for helping others unlock their full potential, Nicky creates a supportive and nurturing environment where clients can flourish.
Through Kiel x VRTUS, Nicky endeavours to create a homely, welcoming, semi private style reformer studio, with the energy and vibe of a larger group reformer studios. Similar to VRTUS, community remains at the core of Kiel x VRTUS, promoting healthy bodies, healthy minds and longevity rather than a particular aesthetic as motivation for movement. Nicky draws inspiration from healing modalities such as meditation and breathwork.
​
Nicky obtained her mat and reformer Pilates instructor certification from the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute and a Bachelor Degree with Honours in Psychology from the University of Queensland, and looks forward to broadening her studies on her quest to learn everything she can about the human body and mind!
Beyond the studio, Nicky is a mum of two, and loves spending time with her family and friends at the beach.
