About Rachel

Rachel is originally from New York state and took an around-the-world route to finally settle in St Petersburg in October 2019. Prior to St Pete she lived in Jacksonville Beach where she fell in love with Pilates and the reformer. After returning to an office job she was feeling the negative effects of sitting all day on her pre-existing hip and knee injuries and needed to find a low-impact, full body workout program. After her first reformer class she was completely hooked! She started her instructor training with PHI Pilates in January 2017 and began teaching part-time in July 2017 after completing certifications in mat and reformer pilates as well as the other apparatuses you’ll find in the studio. During her time in Jacksonville she also completed certifications for the TRX suspension trainer as well as her 200 hour RYT to become a yoga instructor. Upon moving to St Pete she decided to make Pilates her full-time career with Club Pilates and loves being able to wear yoga pants to work everyday! Always seeking to expand her knowledge of the body, human movement and exercise science she is currently studying to become a personal trainer through NASM. She’s excited to bring these various exercise methods together to create well rounded, inclusive classes for her clients.
