WELLINGTON PERSONAL TRAINING (WE MEAN IT)
ONI personal trainers emphasise the importance of communication and take the time to actually listen to you. A plan is then carefully constructed with you so that you can be set up for life long benefits.
My Story
NZIS level 5 Personal Training
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Nicolas. I was born and raised in Lyon, France. Over the past 25 years, I have pursued a successful career as a pastry chef and chef, working in family businesses, fine dining restaurants, and even as a personal chef for the French ambassador in New Zealand. Despite my culinary endeavours, I never let go of my love for physical fitness and regularly practiced kickboxing, capoeira, yoga, hand balancing, and general fitness routines.
Around 6 years ago, I stumbled upon calisthenics, and it was love at first sight. I became an active member of the Wellington group, immersing myself in the community. I discovered how much joy and satisfaction I found in helping others on their fitness and sports journeys - witnessing their progress, breaking through plateaus, and achieving their goals ignited a fire within me. Motivated by this experience, I decided to make a career change in 2022 and pursued my personal trainer certification.
Today, I am thrilled to embark on my new journey! With three children of my own and being 45 years old, I understand the importance of balancing family life and personal wellbeing. Hand balancing, handstands, calisthenics, and bodyweight movement have become my niche, and I am thrilled to incorporate these elements into my training approach.
My aim is to help you find activities you truly enjoy and to relish the journey itself as much as the results and goals you strive for.
What others say about Nicolas

I’ve been working with Nic for about 6 months now with a goal to build strength to supplement my yoga practice. He is a super encouraging, thoughtful and intuitive PT who listens to what I need. He thoughtfully gives me space to rest when it makes sense or pushes me just enough when he knows I can do more.
I’m seeing progression not only in my strength but also in my confidence as I get closer to my current stretch goal of free standing handstands. I look forward to every session, even the core work!

Working with Nic Boisset as my personal trainer has been a game changer. I have found his sessions diverse and interesting especially when we move away from standard weight training exercises to techniques like hand-balancing and calisthenics.
Nic is motivating and encouraging and I cant recommend him enough, especially if you’re looking for personal training with a twist.

I'm training with Nic. If you're looking for a PT with enthusiasm, who can teach regressions and progressions to help you reach your handstand goals, and who will celebrate all of your progressions with you, get in touch with Nic. He makes learning fun.
