Here’s what the celebrity trainers, instagram famous Pilates teachers, and fitness influencers won’t tell you about their exercise routines.
There is no such thing as an overnight transformation or a fast track to changing your body or increasing flexibility, strength, or muscle. Beyond that, the hardest, sweatiest, most painful high impact workout won’t actually get you better results.
I mean...has it worked so far?
If you’re like most of the people who come to start working with me, it’s very likely a “no.”
In fact, it probably left you totally unsatisfied at best or nagging joint pain at worst with no long term results to show for all of your effort.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. The problem is NOT your body. The fitness industry set you up to fail.
Between being sold on the fantasy that you’ll step away looking like the lithe, Lululemon-clad instructor with the perfectly tousled ponytail...the extreme diet and exercise programs...and lack of options for anyone with a history of injury or who is new to exercise, it’s no wonder you’ve struggled with staying motivated or consistent with exercise.
You’re not a robot AND who feels motivated to suffer? Uhhh...no one. That's who.
The TOTAL PACKAGE online studio ditches the lame fantasy, and delivers proven methods of exercise for real people, so you can get fit without pain, injury, or feeling like crap about your body.
Aaaaaa-aaaand it does all of this for you without you having to spend hundreds of dollars on fancy equipment or stepping a foot inside of the gym!
5 common myths that are stopping you from reaching your desired level of fitness...
MYTH #1 “The only way to get results in fitness is through pain, shame, and suffering.”
I have an exercise science degree and 15 years of industry experience. Let me tell you that nowhere in a textbook has it ever said that sweat, soreness, or pain resulted in better results.
The reality is that what works is actually pretty straightforward. You just have to do a little bit a few times a week consistently and pick the right modalities to match your fitness goals.
The key is to make it simple and enjoyable enough that you keep coming back and to have someone to turn to if you have questions about what you should be doing - and guess what? Within the virtual studio, I’ll be there to answer all your questions and help you create an action plan that makes sense for you and your life.
MYTH #2 “I don’t have the time or motivation to consistently exercise.”
No one does! The demands of work...kids...life keep us all extremely busy, but you don’t need me to tell you that exercise is an important factor in long term health. And if you learn how to approach it in a sustainable + enjoyable way, it becomes easier and easier to stay motivated and consistent.
Plus...I’ll take the guess workout out of it! I will tell you exactly what to do and how to do it. At-home without the fluorescent lights or judgement of the gym.
MYTH #3 “Strength training is intimidating! I’m afraid I’ll get hurt trying it on my own.”
As someone who has had her fair share of injuries and body challenges, I know how overwhelming and scary starting any new form of exercise can be. However, getting stronger CAN be simple and fun!
This is why the classes are designed in such a way that you always have modifications and options. Also, unlike most traditional strength training programs, there are no confusing charts for you to read or reps to count. In these classes, I demonstrate every exercise step by step, so you can do it with me.
Finally, I’ve created a private FB group where I’m available to answer all your questions, help you troubleshoot exercises, figure out what weight to choose, and point you towards the right classes and resources.
MYTH #4 “I’m too old, out of shape, or injured to get started.”
Fitness is for everyone. Seriously.
I’ve worked with clients who were well into their 90’s...had a history of hypermobility...pain... injury...or were starting strength training or Pilates for the first time later in life. They ALL saw improvements in strength, mobility, and muscle tone AND many of them are members and have experienced success taking the livestream and on demand classes.
MYTH #5 “I don’t have enough equipment or the funds to buy fancy weights and exercise equipment to see results at home."
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a J-Lo level home gym to improve your fitness at-home. Mostly, you just need some inexpensive props, such as resistance bands, two kettlebells or a set of dumbbells, and someone who can teach you how to incorporate those tools into a workout.
...and fun fact. I can help you with that. 😉
What’s waiting for you inside the TOTAL PACKAGE, once you become a member…
AND 4 new classes are added every month with a mix of formats and new teachers, so you’ll never get bored or run out of class ideas if you're a teacher yourself 😉
I get it. There are a million sites offering workouts, so let's talk about how these classes are designed with your needs in mind...
:: Low impact options: Yes, it’s possible to work hard without having your knees yelling at you. These classes are designed to have maximal impact on your fitness with minimal impact on your joints.
:: Time efficient: Most of the classes are 30 to 45 minutes. Long enough to get in an effective workout, but short enough to fit into a busy day. Need more? You can double them up!
:: Evidence based: I've curated all of the workouts you love in one place, but you won't find any fads here. Everything is based on science backed principles to improve key aspects of fitness with fewer injuries.
:: Designed to be done at-home: Think space efficient + minimal equipment. If you have a designated home gym, great, but many of these classes can be done in a small space.

And the benefits of being a member don't stop there! You'll also get access to...
Gotta question or stuck on something? Help is a single post away! I personally answer all member questions that are related to fitness or movement. I can also suggest workouts if you're not sure of what to try or are looking for something specific.
And if you're a teacher, I can also answer any technical questions you have about the sequencing or exercises + help you figure out how to incorporate an idea into your classes.
Also, it's worth saying that isn’t one of those terrible spaces on the internet where your hope in humanity goes to die - much like myself, this group is super chill and a safe space for you to ask questions and get what you need.

About Me:
Hey, I'm Nikki. I'm a Pilates teacher and certified functional strength coach with over a decade of experience helping women build strength and overcome injury and I'm more than a little obsessed with helping people find effective and enjoyable ways to train.
I hold a B.S. in Exercise Science and B.S. Journalism and my fitness wisdom has been featured in Girls Gone Strong, The Seattle Times, and Men’s Fitness. I've also presented for national conferences and have been a featured educator in the Pilates community, but truthfully, I see myself as less of an expert and more of a teacher and cheerleader for my clients and I vastly prefer it that way.
When I'm not teaching a sneaky hard Pilates class, you can find me binge-watching the Bachelor, snuggling my corgi Charlie, and trying to get better at TikTok dance videos.
What others are saying...
What others are saying...
Gotta question? Let's see this will help!
- Isn’t everything I need to get fit at-home on YouTube?
Kinda? Sorta? Not really.
Sure, the internet is full of free workouts, but how much time do you really want to spend googling different workouts, trying to find something you like? With the Total Package, you have everything you need, all in one place, to get results at home AND you have access to a Pilates teacher + fitness trainer with over 15 years experience to answer all your questions, offer personalized feedback, and design classes based around your requests.
- Is there any support available if I have questions or get stuck?
Yep! Did I mention the private FB group? I'm always happy to clarify things or offer specific class suggestions.
Beyond that, if you haaaa-aaaate FB or want to converse more privately, you can email me at hello@naablevy.com and I'll be thrilled to help you there. <3
- What if I want to cancel my membership / What is the guarantee or refund policy?
Look, I know how hard it sucks to get trapped in a service you're not using or don't want, so when I say cancel anytime, I mean cancel anytime.
There are no hidden fees. Zero monthly commitments. One click cancellation.
You can log into your account and hit a button and you'll never be charged again! But if that's confusing you can also email me at hello@naablevy.com and I can cancel your membership for you.
Regarding refunds, there are no refunds for the single monthly fees. However, at $40 a month, you're getting a screaming deal and the workshop alone is worth double that, so rest assured if after a month you decide it's not for you, you can quite literally take the workshop and run.
- I’m a bit overwhelmed by technology. Will I be able to figure out how to take livestream classes?
I'm no tech genius either. I choose CrowdCast for livestream classes, because it was so user friendly and worked on every device I tested it on.
That being said, if you have issues navigating livestream classes OR anything on the site, just email me at hello@naablevy.com and I or someone from my team will work with you to help you navigate the tech learning curve!
- I have a history of injury or am brand new to exercise. Can I still take class?
Not going to lie. Without knowing your individual injury history, I can't tell you with full confidence that these classes will work for you. HOWEVER, what I can tell you is that lots of TOTAL PACKAGE members have "stuff" and have specifically told me they LOVE the classes, because they are so joint friendly and there are so many options available.
Regarding if you are new to a modality on the site or a total beginner, let me just say that I adore working with beginners, so I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much you can do and how quickly you start seeing changes to your fitness. Beyond that, I am also available in the private FB group to help you get unstuck or answer any questions that come up as you get started.
And if that doesn't answer your question, shoot me an email at hello@naablevy.com and we can chat more about if the site is a good fit for you.

Tips on where to find kettlebells:
If you want cheap kettlebells to find out if you like them, you may be able to find something on Amazon. However, my favorite brand if/when you are ready to invest in some is Rogue. Another place where you may be able to find kettlebells is on the facebook marketplace.
As far as what weight to start with it really depends on the person. For women, I’ve found a nice set of “starter” weights includes a 6 OR 8 kg, 12 kg, and 16 kg kettlebell. To convert kilograms (kg) to pounds, multiple the number of kilograms by 2.2.
- What the heck is a jumpstretch band? Can I just use stretchy bands or therabands for the strength classes instead?!
While you absolutely can use whatever you have to take class, let me explain WHY you may want to invest in jumpstretch bands and how they are different from the therabands/stretchy bands used in Pilates and yoga classes.
Jumpstretch bands are the same bands that you may have been seen used for assisted pull-ups. They are commonly used in the strength and conditioning space. Jumpstretch bands have a different level of tension and offer more feedback to the muscles than a stretchy band.
Generally speaking, jumpstretch bands are a tool that was developed specifically for increasing strength and research has even suggested that they are comparable to using weights, so while there is nothing wrong with a stretchy band, it has a different application. Stretchy bands are great for building stability and body awareness, but they're not the best tool for strength.
Finally, in many ways jumpstretch bands are an ideal option for strength training at-home, because there are lots of resistance options, they are inexpensive, easy to store, and they're a great place to get started with strength if you are hypermobile or have some mobility issues, because they can be easier to navigate than weights.
This was all a long winded way of saying use what you have, but you will probably find you get stronger faster and get a lot more out of the strength classes if you get the bands.
- I want to get toned and lose weight, but you haven't mentioned that anywhere on the page. Will your classes do that for me?
Let me start by saying that the fitness industry has done us all a real disservice by telling us that the purpose of exercise is weight loss AND it's the most effective way to lose weight.
I believe in body autonomy and support my clients in all of their goals. I also believe in being honest and the truth is that research shows that exercise does not correlate well with weight loss.
Beyond that, depending on your genetics and nutrition, exercise may change what your body looks like, but it also may not. What I can tell you is that generally speaking, strength training regularly can help you increase muscle mass (which side note is great for bone health , injury prevention, and increasing quality of life as we get older) and for some folks more muscle = the appearance of looking a bit more "toned."
This is all to say that exercise can play a role in changes to what your body looks like, but it depends and the answer to all of this is nuanced. For some people exercise is enough, but for most there has to be some adjustments to nutrition and that's not what this membership site is about. However, the upside of being armed with this knowledge is that if you join the group, I'll be available to answer all your questions and help point you towards the right people and resources if this is your goal.
In summary, I can't promise you any sort of specific physical transformation, because that's not how the human body works. It's a lot more complicated than just take XYZ class. BUT I can help reduce frustration and confusion around the subject and save you some time from running your body into the ground with intense workouts that won't give you the results you're looking for.
