NICKI SCHLICHT

Mt. Pleasant, MI

Nicki is a Midwest girl from Mt. Pleasant Michigan, USA. You can always find Nicki on the move! She is in her 27th year of teaching Elementary Physical Education and in her 15th year of teaching group fitness classes. She fell in love with POUND at first strike: the first class she took was her POUND Pro training in 2016. She became a brand ambassador on POUND’s Tour Crew in 2019 and landed the ICON role in 2021. Nicki’s passion and light for Generation POUND shines bright as she brings this wonderful format to many schools across Michigan and beyond.

If you ever take a training from Nicki, you will leave with the tools you need to lead your own amazing POUND classes and with a new excitement for POUND Rockout Workout, Generation POUND and/or POUND Unplugged! After every training, there is a dance party so we can celebrate YOU!

What’s one word or phrase that perfectly sums up your energy?
Non-Stop!

How do you help someone who’s stepping out of their comfort zone for the first time?
I welcome them to class 1 on 1, tell them I am so glad they are here and finally let them know I am proud of them for showing up!

What’s your go-to music genre?
I grew up with all genres but I love me some old school hip hop and R&B

What’s your post-training ritual or treat?
A big cheeseburger with french fries paired with a glass of Cabernet (haha!)
