About Maria

Maria Barrantes is originally from Costa Rica and moved to Oregon seven years ago. Her journey into Pilates began in 2022, and it quickly became a passion. After starting her instructor certification through Club Pilates in early 2023, Maria began her apprenticeship in March 2024 and became a fully certified instructor in October 2024. Since then, she’s been actively teaching at multiple Club Pilates studios. Maria brings a diverse background in movement to her classes. She holds a degree in Business Administration and a Master’s in Marketing and Sales, but her heart has always been in the world of fitness and dance. She danced with several ballet colleges in Costa Rica and competed in triathlons before discovering the power of Pilates. What Maria loves most about teaching Pilates is creating a welcoming space where people of all ages and abilities can move safely, build strength, and feel more connected to their bodies. She’s proud to be part of the strong, supportive community at Club Pilates and is inspired every day by her clients' dedication and growth. In her classes, you’ll find a balance of challenge and encouragement—with a focus on mindful movement, core strength, and confidence.
