I am Nikki Durand, a certified group fitness instructor, with a passion for helping people achieve their fitness goals. I started my fitness journey at the age of 15, working out at a local gym and soon thereafter became a certified aerobics instructor. For much of my adult life, I have focused on my career in education and continued to workout in various capacities. In 2018, I joined a fitness fa
cility that offered "team" style classes, where I learned the undeniable value of group fitness and how supportive and empowering this environment can be. I quickly noticed that I was not only physically stronger, but emotionally as well... I had never felt stronger or more mentally focused! Not having the ability to attend class proved to be very difficult. Luckily, I was able to continue my fitness journey with a fabulous group of friends. In addition, I was also able to witness one of my friends/workout partners begin her own group fitness and personal training venture in the Central, Massachusetts area (Central MA Bootcamp & Personal Training). Being able to watch her grow and develop her business from its inception, as well as, having the privilege of seeing how her classes have positively impacted others, has motivated me to start a fitness studio in Western, Mass.
