Join Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Nicole Cassel, for a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program that has been scientifically proven to help increase endurance and performance for your aerobic (cardiovascular) and anaerobic (muscular) systems. Tabata is a highly efficient method to achieve maximum results by helping you burn fat and build muscles.
Tabata training works in 20-second intervals of high-intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest, and repeated eight times for a total of four minutes.

About the Instructor: Nicole Cassel
I began my fitness career about 20 years ago by obtaining a certification in group indoor cycling. From there, I moved on to obtaining certifications in TRX suspension training, Mat & Equipment Pilates, Barre, Group Fitness, and Personal Training. Most recently, I have obtained my Road Runners Club of America Coaching Certification.
Throughout the years, I have taught a variety of fitness classes, with my favorites being Pilates and Boot Camp, along with beginner and intermediate running programs. I like to adapt my class offerings to provide clients with a well-rounded approach to exercise and properly caring for their bodies.
I received my B.S. in Marketing from Albright College and a Master of Education in Training and Development from Penn State Harrisburg. I believe learning is a lifelong journey, not a destination! It was at Albright that I put my love of running to the test by joining the cross-country team, which provided me with the opportunity to challenge myself with longer distances and faster paces. As I have matured, I’ve gained a new appreciation for strength training, stretching, and really focusing on the importance of a strong core – and this is exactly how I realized that Pilates was a perfect fit for my fitness goals!
I am very enthusiastic about fitness and helping others achieve new goals. I enjoy assisting them with living a healthy lifestyle. Knowing that I can help make a difference in another person’s life is what motivates me to teach and train others. I love knowing that someone who never knew what a teaser was – let alone had the abdominal strength to perform one – can now master the move, even adding in props for increased difficulty, and I had a part in helping them reach success! I like to challenge my clients, but also be there to support them throughout the entire process of transforming not only their body, but their perception of what they see when they look in the mirror. I rely on my background in adult education and utilize learning theories to create fun classes and workouts for my clients that will motivate and inspire.
