Nicole Boniface
Personal Trainer
ACE CPT / Fitness & Sports Nutrition / Functional Training Coach / Group Exercise / Club Pilates
I’m Nicole Boniface and have been working in the Fitness Industry for six years. I graduated Curry College with a BA in Health Sciences and went on to get certified through American Council of Exercise as a personal trainer, fitness and sports nutritionist, functional training coach, and a group fitness instructor. This past year, I completed 500 hundred hours to become a certified pilates trainer. I have worked as a coach with Orangetheory, Burn it by Ray, F45 and Club Pilates. I enjoy helping clients achieve their goals by incorporating fitness, nutrition and recovery.
I am a fitness enthusiast! I’m all about balance and just getting the body moving. “An object in motion will stay in motion!” It’s important to me to make movement a movement and to have fun with training. While exercising I like to keep in mind how grateful I feel that my body is able to move. I love to get out and play! I love helping others discover this and watch them grow mentally and physically through the process.

Marisha gadowski
Personal Trainer
NASM CPT / AFAA Group Exercise / Balance Barre / Schwinn Indoor Cycle
Marisha has been teaching group exercise and cycling for the past 8 years at Fitness Unlimited. She has always had a passion for movement and exercise – from dance to field hockey to running. After running the NYC marathon in 2019, Marisha continued to explore her love of movement, completing her certification in barre.
It’s important to Marisha to make movement fun and functional, while finding balance and challenging the body in different ways. Variety in movement and format helps to challenge the body, while keeping your workouts fun and accessible.
As a mom of two little girls – two under two – form, function, and perinatal care have become critical focuses in her training. It’s essential to Marisha that she provides her clients with exercises that mimic and improve daily movements and flexibility. Her goal is to provide clients with the knowledge and foundations to reach their individual goals, while helping them develop a love for movement, appreciation for their bodies, and motivation to continue on their fitness journeys.

Being a long-time member of Fitness Unlimited, she has always been an avid gym goer who loves to mix it up. You probably have seen her in barre, cardio strength, yoga, HIIT and tabata classes. Caitlin enjoys making others laugh which is the best medicine after all. Don’t be afraid to say hi because she loves to chat, especially if it’s about dogs or wine!
