Sometimes a good cue makes all the difference in finding the work. Nicole Martin of Ritual Pilates shares her excellent cues for Hanging Pull Ups on the Contrology Cadillac, some learned directly from Jay Grimes whom Nicole trained with. Pull Ups are an excellent full body challenge once the body is warmed up and the detailed setup and instructions from Nicole ensure safety and proper form.
"My one thought or guiding principle is going to be to keep the trapeze still."
Nicole Martin
Nicole Martin’s certification and approach to teaching the entire system were passed down directly from Joseph and Clara Pilates to her teacher, Jay Grimes. She completed The Work, a Master’s certification, in 2016. Her passion is teaching the entire Pilates system and watching the changes a body makes once the Method is in their body. In addition to teaching clients, she has extensively coached instructors from all over the country and offers courses for certified instructors. She also offers weekly open-studio classes inspired by Joe Pilates' original New York City classes; these are available online and in her San Diego studio.
