A massive shout out to our valued employee, Nic Hough, on her 8th year here at PARC! What an amazing achievement.

Nic is our little all-rounder.

Nic is a favourite with our members and our team and has been voted the ‘trainer with the best music playlist’. She really knows how to pump up the vibes in her classes. She brings 10 years’ experience within the industry alongside sass, and some epic energy to our team!

Nic is available for PT clients 1:1 and 2:1 specialising in:

Q&A with Nic

What do you do in your downtime?
Catch up with friends, girls night and go paddle boarding.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?
I love playing darts.

What advice would you give to anyone starting their own fitness journey?
Keep at your goals, never give up! Lastly make yourself accountable, do what it takes. If that means having an accountability buddy, letting people know of your goals or hiring a trainer.
