Hi everyone! 👋 Since there are so many of you I don’t know yet, I wanted to (re)introduce myself as the Owner of barre3 Minneapolis and the new Owner of barre3 Edina!
I’m Nikki, I’m a Cancer, and an enneagram 9w1. 🧡
I grew up in Mankato, MN, have two degrees from the U of MN and lived in DC for 10 years before I moved home to Minneapolis in 2020. 🏡
I’m turning 40 on July 1! 🎉
I’ve been teaching barre3 for 11 years now and it’s still the best job I’ve ever had. Nothing lights me up like moving together in a supportive space and helping everyone connect deeper with their body, mind and innermost needs. ✨
I began teaching barre3 in 2015 with the barre3 DC Union Station team and quickly grew to manage and train instructors for 5 studios in the DC area before moving home to MN. I taught on the barre3 Edina team from 2021-2023 before I opened barre3 Minneapolis in 2023. Bringing these communities together is a dream come true, creating even more opportunities for connection, growth and movement across the Twin Cities!
My favorite barre3 posture/move is step taps. Don’t tempt me with a good beat drop. 👯♀️
I live in the North Loop neighborhood with my husband Patrick, big boy Timber 🐾, and two beautiful daughters, Reese and Blake. You can always find us at the park, walking around the neighborhood, or getting cookies at Bellecour - North Loop . 💕
I am a Diet Coke girl through and through. IYKYK. 🥤
If I’m driving in my car you best believe I am rocking out to Carly Rae Jepsen . 🪩
I live with Type 1 Diabetes. My T1D was pregnancy-induced with my first daughter so I’ve been managing it for about 4.5 years. Some days are smooth while others are a huge challenge. I’m so grateful to have a life with so much built-in movement and the privilege of great healthcare to support my body’s needs.
Exploring the eclectic Twin Cities food scene is one of my fav things to do in my free time.
I’m so happy you’re here and can’t wait to welcome you through our doors at both studios. Whether it’s your first class or your 1,000th - you belong here!
