Here's why you can't afford to put off getting stronger any longer...
The moment you finally start strength training and learning how to use external load, your joints will feel better, EVERYTHING you do will feel easier, and you'll have even more tools to serve your students.
Consider the following:
If you are anything like my students, you probably feel that strength training is intimidating, over complicated, boring, or a recipe for injury if you don't do it right.
You may also find yourself:
…endlessly scrolling Instagram looking at kettlebell and strength and mobility coach videos unsure of how to apply it to your own body or movement practice
...looking at kettlebell and strength videos on YouTube and reading articles, but not actually trying the exercises consistently
...overwhelmed at what equipment to buy or what weight to use
…..unsure of what to do or where to start - especially if you are hypermobile or have a history of injury.
But the truth is that strength training can be easy to learn and simple to implement. Way less confusing than say learning sanskrit or a series of complicated yoga poses. 😉
If you practice using external load (e.g. resistance bands, kettlebells, or dumbbells) just a few times a week with the right exercises and sequences, you can start seeing results quickly AND you can take what you've learned and share it with your students, if you happen to be a movement teacher.
And all of this is possible without 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 getting stronger and trying other fitness or movement modalities...
MYTH #1 “Strength training and fitness is too aggressive and hard on my nervous system.”
Strength is for everyone. However, your experience will be determined by the teacher who you learn from.
This is why it’s helpful to learn from someone who has had similar challenges to you and understands how to teach it, so it won’t leave your nervous system feeling wrecked.
Wouldn’t it be great if strength training left you feeling as good as you do after yoga? True story - it can!
MYTH #2 “Learning strength training requires being in a competitive environment.”
Many of us have been to that miserable (and somewhat terrifying) class, where an instructor barked cues at you or scolded you for needing to slow down or use a lighter weight.
That’s not strength training.
That’s just shitty teaching from someone who isn’t trauma informed.
It IS possible to learn strength training and experience fitness without the need to compete or fear of judgement.
MYTH #3 “It’s impossible to find a cardio class that isn’t high impact, won’t hurt my joints, or doesn’t make me feel like a total loser.”
It’s possible to get your heart rate up and even take a HIIT class without ever having to jump. One reason why our joints may hurt during cardio classes is because we’re not strong enough and our tissues aren’t well prepared for that level of impact.
However, with the right options, cardio classes can be enjoyable AND effective.
MYTH #4 “I’m too old, out of shape, or injured to get started.”
Strength 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 and mobility 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 classes, 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 lower back yelling at you. These classes are designed to help you improve strength and mobility without overloading your joints.
:: Time efficient: Most of the classes are 30 to 45 minutes. Long enough to get in an effective movement practice, but short enough to fit into a busy day. Need more? You can double them up!
:: Evidence based: I've curated all of the movement modalities you love in one place. Everything is based on movement science principles to improve strength, endurance, and mobility with fewer injuries.
:: Designed to be done at-home: Think space efficient meets minimal equipment. If you have a designated home practice space, 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 strength or movement. I can also suggest classes 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 or it’s a bunch of bros screaming at you - 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!
- Can’t I find everything I need to learn about strength training on Instagram and 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 stronger at home AND you have access to a movement professional 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 strength training and fitness modalities. 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 feeling stronger and more resilient. 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.
