Stephanie was asked if she would like to take advantage of some free pilates classes she won at a fundraiser. As a personal trainer and avid gym goer, she was skeptical. However, with her wedding fast approaching, she decided it was a good time to try something new. After only her first class she fell in love with Pilates. Being a gymnast for many years, this reminded her of the wonderful feeling of full body movements and stretching. Her low back and hip pain were finally gone! Stephanie was so happy feeling amazing within her body and feeling mentally centered. This soon became a family affair for Stephanie. She knew this was just what her sister, Jess, who is a widow with a young son at home, needed too! Watching her sister’s transformation inspired Stephanie to become a Pilates instructor. Stephanie’s 10 years of personal training has given her experience in working with a variety of people. So signing up for the Club Pilates Teaching Training program was the next logical step. Stephanie has always enjoyed working with people of all fitness levels. Making people feel good about themselves and feeling healthy has always been a joy of her’s. Stephanie looks forward to using her positive approach of encouragement into her Pilates teachings.

As a trained and competitive Ballet dancer, Kristie’s introduction to Pilates began at an early age. Dancing sometimes twenty hours a week, she started each day with Pilates and saw how it helped to improve her flexibility and strength. Kristie continued with her Ballet training at Meredith College where she graduated with majors in Dance, Psychology and Communications. After the birth of her two girls Kristie wanted the strength and energy to keep up with her busy family. She began running and was then introduced to Pilates on the reformer were she quickly saw changes in her physical and mental well-being. Pilates eased the aches and pains of taking care of small children and gave her a way to focus and relax during busy stressful days. Those changes reignited her passion for fitness. She had a desire to show others how Pilates could change their quality of life and decided to become an instructor. Kristie makes personal connections with her students in her classes so the she gets to know their challenges and their strengths.
