Dena wanted to share her passion for fitness and nutrition and in 2007 she started doing personal training for family and friends. In 2008, she expanded her reach by becoming certified as an American Council on Exercise (ACE) personal trainer. In 2010, she became Power Pilates certified. Dena loves helping people make positive lifestyle changes through exercise and healthy eating. Her clients range from teens to seniors and she gets energized working with them to create realistic plans that work for their lifestyles. She also benefits because her knowledge and experience grows with every interaction. She believes that we all learn from each other.

Joey has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from University of Rochester, with a minor in Anthropology. Pilates enlightened her life in 2005 after the birth of her third child.  Pilates became a deep passion and has been the backbone for Joey maintaining and supporting a healthy body and soul.  Joey completed a 450-hour comprehensive instructor training program through Pilates Chicago and became PMA (Pilates Method Alliance) certified in July 2011.  As of August of 2019, PMA certification is now NCPT (Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher).  Joey’s style of teaching is ever evolving as she continues to learn about Pilates and all its valuable effects on movement through ongoing participation at workshops and conferences.  She has taken many workshops with Master Teachers and incorporates new knowledge to classes and private sessions.  With three growing boys, including one with physical disabilities, Joey is very aware that everyone’s needs are different and change with time.  She offers her clients exercises that they need on that day to strive toward a healthy life.

Sheri opened Club Pilates La Grange after leaving her Corporate career to focus on bringing pilates to everyone! She has an MBA from the University of Chicago and a BBA in Accounting from the University of Iowa. She always dreamt of being an entrepreneur and owning her own business that combines her years of business knowledge with her passion of fitness and pilates. After working for Harley-Davidson for 17 years, it was extremely important for her to find a strong brand that builds a strong community, creates positivity and makes others feel better! Sheri loves pilates as it not only builds a strong core, creates muscle tone and improves one’s overall health, but it is also fun! She loves working with an amazing team of Instructors and studio staff to support others. Sheri is also a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and currently working on her pilates certification through Club Pilates.

Ashlee's journey into Pilates began in 2012 in an attempt to get her abs back after pregnancy; what she found was a demanding physical practice and unknown strength deep inside her core. To complement her career in physical therapy, she continued to complete a comprehensive training program in 2014 with Body Arts and Science International. Today she provides an integrative approach to mind body wellness. She uses a method of teaching movement that is physically and mentally challenging yet therapeutic, aiming to nourish the benefits she found in the practice within her clients in a dynamic class environment as well as personalized sessions. She has been with Club Pilates since 2017.
