Club Pilates

I spent the majority of my life as a dancer, and continued this throughout my years in college at Point Park University. While at Point Park, I was introduced to Pilates - and I was hooked!! In addition to Pilates and dance, I enjoy running and have run several marathons. After my youngest went into school, I decided to pursue my certification in Pilates so that I could help others fall in love with Pilates too! When I’m not in the Pilates studio you can find me hanging out with my husband, Kris, and our four children, Braden, Cade, Drake and Emma.

Amy was a swimmer in college and has many fitness interests from kayaking to kickboxing to strength training, but became more intrigued with Pilates when taking classes with an emphasis on quality and precision of movement, which led to a noticeable improvement not only in Pilates but in every other form of physical activity, which inspired Amy to become a Pilates instructor. The mind body aspect of Pilates and how the practice of it translates into everyday living is important to Amy as well, who learned to heal her body through holistic methods after experiencing frustrating health issues that mainstream medicine was not able to resolve. Additionally, she used to work with and help people who have mental and/or physical disabilities with their health and so she also loves that Pilates is a program that can be tailored for any person depending on their bodies and their goals.

I was first introduced to mat Pilates in my early 20s and loved it! But then life happened and I stopped taking classes. I started my Club Pilates journey working at the front desk four years ago. I began taking reformer classes and quickly remembered why I originally loved it. I was able to move my body in a way that was both effective but also low impact. I started to see results that I hadn’t experienced in other workout formats. It became a game changer for me! As an instructor, I love to teach all kinds of movements but side lying legs is my favorite. It not only targets your core but glutes as well. My favorite muscle group! I also love meeting new people from all walks of life, sharing my love of Pilates, and being able hear and witness how Pilates has improved their day to day life too. Being able to live a healthy, active life is what it’s all about and I truly believe that Pilates allows us to do that as we age with grace! When I’m not in the studio teaching or taking a class, I enjoy shopping, finding beauty hacks on Instagram, hanging out my family and friends, traveling, and getting Starbucks with my daughter Charlotte.

Kyra Piper grew up training at the Ballet Academy of Pittsburgh. As a young teen she started private pilates classes to help her with strength and stability. At 16 she was awarded a full scholarship to move and train in the Professional Division at Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, Washington. At 18, she relocated to Nashville, Tennessee to join Nashville Ballet as a professional dancer. She continued to take pilates classes in both Seattle and Nashville to keep her body strong. Now a student at the University of Pittsburgh, Kyra took her love of Pilates to the next level by doing the Club Pilates Teacher Training Program.

Sydney began dancing at the age of three and quickly developed a passion for movement, becoming a competitive dancer by the age of eight and continuing through her high school graduation in 2021. She went on to earn her degree in Business from John Carroll University in 2025 before moving back to Pittsburgh, where she discovered her love for Pilates after learning a studio was opening close to home. She jumped at the opportunity to get involved and quickly began her Pilates instructor training in the fall of 2025. With her strong dance background, Sydney brings a focus on control, alignment, and intentional movement to every class, and her goal as an instructor is to create a welcoming and motivating environment where clients feel challenged, confident, and empowered in their bodies.

I have always loved how movement makes my body feel, calms my mind, and helps relieve stress. Pilates helps me ease tension in my body, increase my range of motion, gain strength, and connect breath to movement. I absolutely love how Pilates makes me feel! I became certified to help others use Pilates to develop confidence and a love of movement in a safe and welcoming environment.

I discovered pilates in 2010, walking into my very first class feeling completely intimidated, but I quickly fell in love with how it made my body and mind feel. When Club Pilates opened in Long Beach, California, I became fully immersed in the practice as well as the studio, drawn to the variety of apparatus while still honoring classical pilates flow and fundamentals. That passion eventually led me to begin my teaching journey in 2019. I knew I wanted to share what pilates had given me- not only strength and movement, but confidence and connection. I am continually inspired by seeing all bodies learn to move, grow and flow in their own way. One of my favorite parts of teaching is hearing how pilates translates into everyday life – helping people feel stronger, more capable and more balance both in and outside of the studio.
