As a former classroom English teacher, I know get my fix teaching at Club Pilates! I have been teaching Pilates for 11 years now, and don't want to stop!!

I had been experiencing a lot of imbalances in my body since womanhood and after high school my health rapidly declined. After seeing handfuls of doctors with many different specialties, they couldn’t find an answer. A few years down the road I found Pilates. I took my first intro class after onboarding as a front desk member and my body hadn’t thanked me enough. A light turned on in my muscles and they started to work and build again. I was taking many privates with an amazing instructor who was going through her Pilates training certification. We created a space for her to learn how to teach and get better practice while I had the benefit of gaining every i lost in 4 years, within a 4 month time period. That is when I knew this was my path- to teach Pilates and help others find their strength, balance, happiness, less stress on the mind and body, focus on what is important, and the energy I needed to be awake for the people around me. I started my training March of 2023, and am currently working as an apprentice. I have 1000+ training and teaching hours as I have found CP Arden Hills to be my home away from home! It is truly an amazing community of staff and members. My favorite experiences that come with teaching are connecting families with pilates, helping a member reach a milestone in their own pilates journey like an exercise or other goal, and being with the members the minutes and before class when they create friendships that carry outside the studio. Come to a class for the benefits of Pilates, and leave with making a new friend!

I became a certified instructor in March 2024. Pilates has been an answer to prayer for me. I decided to try an intro class at Club Pilates when nothing else would ease my chronic spinal & nerve damage. It was shortly after that I felt led to embrace Pilates as a new career endeavor, after being a medical assistant for 10 years. I also have been healing from residual sensitivity of a traumatic brain injury, due to a near fatal boating accident in Florida 2018. I know what it feels like to suffer in the human body and walk through unpredictable symptoms that affect daily life. Human embodiment is something to be cherished. We get to wake up and have the ability to move, breathe, laugh & play! It is now a joy and honor to be a part of the beautiful Club Pilates community! To see others walk bravely through their healing journey is one of the biggest blessings of my life today. No matter what your fitness goals may be, please let me know how I can help your body best to experience the freedom you deserve.

Annie has been a certified personal trainer since 2017 and completed her STOTT Pilates certification in 2018, the same year she started teaching at Club Pilates. While her background is in strength training, she’s a big believer in the unique benefits that Pilates offers - especially when it comes to body awareness, mobility, and building control. She enjoys teaching all class types but especially loves 2.5 Flow and FIIT for the variety, challenge, and opportunities to help members connect more deeply with their movement. Annie’s favorite part of teaching is when something clicks for someone - whether it’s a new skill, a better understanding, or just being able to feel something they haven’t before.

Kalista earned her bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences from the University of Central Florida in 2020 and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in Nursing. During her undergraduate studies, she taught anatomy and developed a deep passion for the human body—especially in encouraging others to move mindfully and care for their health. After years of physical therapy with limited results, Kalista discovered Pilates as a new approach to managing her chronic pain. For the first time, she experienced real relief by learning how to move her body correctly—something she had unknowingly struggled with her entire life. Through consistent practice, she became significantly stronger, more flexible, and nearly pain-free. Now, Kalista is dedicated to helping others find the same transformation. She is committed to improving the quality of life for those around her by using movement as a tool for healing and empowerment.

Pam Wright started Pilates classes over 5 years ago, continued with private training, and in 2016, pursued her teacher training through the Stott Merrithew Pilates® program in St. Paul, Minnesota. Pam successfully completed all of the Comprehensive Mat and Reformer training and course requirements, becoming a Certified Instructor in 2017. She has continued her Pilates education and training with courses in Intensive Cadillac, Postural Analysis, Injuries and Special Populations and Intensive Stability Chair. Pam also brings her medical and therapeutic experience to the studio with over 30 years of practice as an occupational and certified hand therapist. She uses her knowledge and training as a therapist to assist her clients with the physical challenges they may be facing to optimize their Pilates practice. She hopes she can help Club Pilates participants enhance their function in their daily activities through improved strength, coordination, balance, flexibility and endurance. Pilates is truly a mind-body experience and through her own challenges, she has seen the additional benefits of reducing stress and joint pain as well as preventing injury. Pam hopes she can help convince all genders, ages and fitness levels that Pilates may be one of the best investments they will make in themselves!

Gabby was first introduced to Pilates in middle school as part of her dance training. A significant dance injury requiring surgery led her to switch her focus from dance to fitness while in college. She went on to earn her B.A. in Exercise Science and Youth Ministry from Hope College in 2015. Gabby has been a group fitness instructor, teaching everything from Zumba to HIIT, as well as a personal trainer. In 2018, she became a Comprehensively Trained Pilates Instructor through Club Pilates' Teacher Training. Pilates made her strong enough to return to dance, performing with Mosaics Dance Co for several seasons and teaching at a local studio. Her goal is to build self-efficacy (the belief that you are capable) and loves that Pilates allows for everyone to be successful. In her spare time, you can find Gabby enjoying all things dance related or seeking out new coffee shops.
