Chic Physique is More Than Just a Gym
Trainers Ashley Necaise, Sam Uline, Shelley Williams and Jessica Felter with Natasha Riemann (seated), owner and trainer.
She grew up playing ice hockey and soccer and then moved to weight training and bikini show competitions. Through those experiences, Riemann discovered the most efficient way to train was to use equipment in the classes.
“I really wanted to have group fitness classes that were unlike any others offered on the Coast and so we have group fitness classes that teach you how to use the machines,” she said. “And we want everyone to love themselves enough to take care of themselves. You have to take care of your body because it’s the only place you have to live.”

Whether you’re trying to form a new fitness habit or you’ve got a routine you’ve loved for years, the trainers at Chic Physique can make all the difference in helping you to meet your goals.
And now, Chic Physique is in a new, larger elite location at 8923 Lorraine Road, Studio A, in Gulfport. The private personal training studio is by appointment only and is geared toward female clients with five trainers and intimate classes.
“We’re a little bit different than your normal gym,” said the studio’s owner Natasha Riemann, who is also a trainer and certified holistic health and wellness coach.
“We have both an opportunity for you to try something new and to better yourself in the process,” Riemann said. “We have great resources to get you going and to get you in the right direction to better yourself mentally and physically. We have a lot of people who come in and say they want to look good, but then we tell them
we’re going to take care of their health, their heart, and their mental state and everything is going to get 10 times better.”
Chic Physique recently outgrew its smaller location and moved directly across the street into a 2,400-square-
foot facility with two large bathrooms and two secluded shower areas. It’s
the third move for the studio that
went from a 600-square-foot building
to a 1,000-square-foot facility to its
new location. There are also plans for continued growth with new studios slated for Ocean Springs and Bay St. Louis.
“I just want to give people the opportunity to get healthy and get on the right track in a different environment and in a different way,” Riemann said. “We offer nutrition plans, and our trainers have 30-minute small classes, or 30-minute one-on-one sessions and we can do hour sessions, too.”
Riemann’s athletic background has helped shape the Chic Physique brand.
