About Sculpt Shop
Sculpt Shop sits inside a low-key commercial complex in Jupiter, Florida, a well-trafficked inland corridor flanked by residential neighborhoods and a cluster of wellness and fitness studios. The location was chosen intentionally as a a like-minded community space who value fitness. Owner Nicole spent two years in the industry before founding Sculpt Shop, a place where intensity and joint longevity are not at odds with each other. Her business partner (and walking proof-of-concept) Nicole joined the crew in 2019 as a self-described functional strength obsessive who helped bring HIIT to the Xformer. Together, they bring a passion for innovation that pushed boundaries, but never past your comfort level.
What They Do Best
The flagship offering is XFORMER Sculpt — a 50-minute full-body session on the Xformer. The method is low-impact on the joints and high-demand on the muscles: slow, controlled movements under constant tension. Exercises can be modified, but the programming skews toward clients who have a bit more experience on reformer-type modalities. Beyond the XFORMER class, the studio runs Strength and Conditioning sessions through The Body Shop — a HIIT-driven, equipment-rich format using kettlebells, dumbbells, plyometric boxes, and resistance bands and are affiliated with Deka and Spartan Races. The two formats share a building but serve different training styles; making Sculpt Shop one of the more complete boutique fitness setups in Palm Beach County.
The Experience
Sculpt Shop is a clean, functional space that reflects its focus on serious training. Check-in was handled efficiently, with staff managing the administrative process smoothly. New clients can expect to feel welcomed and asked about their previous XFORMER experience. The instructors take the time to learn the depth of the guest’s practice, understanding where they’re coming from so they know just how hard to push.
The session is a demanding and challenging workout. The programming requires significant familiarity with the equipment and movement patterns, requiring coordination and control over your body. Transitions move at a pace that assumes some experience with the format. While modifications are offered, there’s no hand-holding. The studio has clearly built its reputation on this level of intensity, designed for clients who want to be challenged at an advanced level
Newcomers should have a good background in fitness, but don’t necessarily need years of Xformer experience. The community is inviting and creates a real uplifting vibe throughout the burn.
What Makes Them Special
Two methods under one roof: The XFORMER studio and The Body Shop serve different training goals that compliment each other in intensity, strength, and longevity.
Owners who actually show up: Nicole and Maria are both on the teaching schedule, creating an owner-to-client relationship of accountability and trust.
Why We Love It
Sculpt Shop was built by people who train seriously, for people who want to train seriously. Nicole’s 20 years of movement expertise and Maria’s journey from client to co-owner give the studio a credibility that can’t be replicated. The XFORMER Sculpt class delivers on its promise: low-impact on the joints and unforgiving on the muscles. In a market full of studios competing on aesthetics and ambiance, Sculpt Shop competes on substance.
