About Calvin

Before Pilates, Calvin served 10 yrs in the Marine Corps as an Infantry Section Leader. After two tours to Iraq, one of which resulted in multiple back surgeries, Calvin was in the process of getting a medical discharge when he was in a motorcycle accident. After 4 yrs of multiple leg surgeries, he had no choice but to have his leg amputated. Calvin was in and out of a wheelchair/walker for years, but after his last spine surgery, he decided to give Pilates a shot. Originally he started Pilates to help with his range of motion and getting back into shape. Wow, was he in for a shock, Pilates has been the best full body workout he's ever done without experiencing pain and jarring! Not only did he regain his mobility, but he also lost 55lbs and is in better shape now than he was in the Marine Corps! Calvin decided to take on the Club Pilates Teacher Training program and completed it within a year. He loves the environment and has so much fun working with his new clients, many of who he has been able to see grow in strength, as well as confidence. In his words, "It is so rewarding to see them achieve their goals"!
