Personal Training
& Circuit Training
I am a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer and Circuit Training instructor, currently training for Level 4 with advanced Strength & Conditioning.
This part of my career has come to me later in life and it was due to a running injury that I decided to go down this path.
At the end of 2021 an MRI showed that I had Chondromalacia Grade 4 (Grade 4 chondromalacia indicates that there is complete loss of cartilage with exposed subchondral bone) in my right knee and most likely some level grade in the other.
I was told I wouldn’t run again without plasma injections. At the time that wasn’t an option for me so I got to work in the gym and over ten month, with specific exercises I became pain-free in my knee joints and was able to run and compete again at the same level pre-MRI.
With the amazing results I got from dedicated gym work I wanted to be able to help people not end up in the situation I did by creating armour for their bodies.
Circuit Training
Circuit training is a fun HIIT session, which is also social as I can train many people all at once. High reps with light weights and cardo will definitely have your entire body burning by the end of it.
I can train a max of two people for PT at my home gym or a preferred location.
If you are here on holiday and want someone to put you though your paces I can come to you for either PT or CT.

Testimonials

I was already an active person and wanting to improve my running as well as my overall strength. I think as a personal trainer it's almost harder to train someone who is already pretty active.
I was blown away with how much training with Nicole changed me. I was so much more motivated to get out and run and I loved the easy to follow programs because I didn't have to think about what to do. This also meant I didn't "do it another day" , I just got out and ran. Nicole took the time to run with me once a week too, and although it could feel intimidating because she is an amazing runner, she pushed me but just enough that I always ended having loved the run.
In the gym, the pain cave, I absolutely loved every single session with her. She made sure my form was always good, I never injured myself, it was always challenging but always different. Nicole is very organised and would have new exercises written out and ready to go when I arrived. She is an incredible personal trainer with a contagious energy and GO GET "EM attitude, and I couldn't recommend her more for whatever your needs are... an active person wanting to improve or someone just starting out on their fitness journey. You'll never regret being trained by her and you will feel the results "

When I started working with Nicole I was a keen but irregular runner with no race experience, no plan, and a history of knee issues. I’ve worked with Nicole for the past 9 months on strength and race training and I can honestly say it’s been transformative.
I had never much liked going to the gym and previously found it extremely boring, but working with Nicole has changed all that. She puts so much thought into working the whole body, improving mobility and stability, mixing it up with endless variety, and bringing fun and motivation to our sessions - and it yields results! I’m probably in the best shape of my life right now, aged 40, having changed nothing about my diet, and have just completed my first half marathon race below my target time. Nicole designed a race training plan for me, incorporating outdoor training runs alongside regular strength training, which gave structure to my regime and confidence when race day came. My recovery has also been much faster than I expected and I'm happy to be back at the gym with this week’s strength set!
Nicole’s experience as a multi-displinary athlete and a personal trainer is beautifully combined in her approach, which is supportive, fun, creative, ambitious and highly motivating. Her enthusiasm for all forms of sport and fitness shines through and is inspiring.

Nicole is so professional: hard enough to keep you going, kind enough to make you feel good and so attentive to make you do it right!

It’s always a blast and challenge to train with Nicole. She pushes me to new levels in every session, adding variety in exercises to keep my body guessing and motivated. But most of all, it’s just always a good time in the process!

9mths into PT with Nicole and not only am I much stronger off the bike but I am really enjoying my new strong core when gravel riding. There's the unexpected bonus of now being able to bench press 30kg!
The sessions do push me, I like that - and I appreciate the planning that goes into keeping these fresh and focused.
Hi! I’m Nicole
I feel like a true expat. Born to a Dutch Mother and South African father, I grew up in the Middle East before moving to the UK and then Catalunya.
I have a background in Equine & Agriculture, and a complete obsession with many other sports, including cycling, trail-running, open-water swimming, ski-ing, the list goes on. It is through sport that I have made many and varied connections and friendships. I feel naturally at home in the outdoors and often gather friends for a weekend away exploring new trails and routes either on foot or bike.
In 2006 I moved to Catalunya with my husband, ex-pro cyclist David Millar, and we have called it home, along with our three children, ever since.
With my love of a micro-adventure and lucky enough to live so close to the mountains and the sea, in an area which guarantees good weather most of the time I am able to combine my hobbies with my job.
I hope to be lucky enough to guide you or just simply create your dream sporting holiday in stunning Catalunya someday soon.
