Club Pilates

My name is Michele Klein. I grew up in Ohio and moved to Washington in the mid 80’s. I have two children, a son and daughter. My son is married and I have two adorable grandsons. I had a career in finance and accounting for 30+ years. When my husband passed away in 2012, my world changed. I started STOTT pilates training in 2015 and became certified in 2016. I had a studio built in my home and I teach M-F mornings private and duet lessons. Club Pilates approached me about teaching group classes in Mill Creek. I had some extra time and a desire to do something new. I love the Mill Creek location and Club Pilates team. My students are wonderful and I’m challenged by the variety of classes and changing the sessions I teach.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach at Club Pilates Mill Creek Plaza. I began my Pilates journey in 2012, opening a studio in Ballard. Though the space is no longer open, I was blessed to have a space to learn what Pilates had for my life. As an athlete throughout my life I suffered many injuries. I was able to gain strength through Pilates that I thought I would never have again. My experience as a client and partner of a successful studio led me to become a Fletcher Pilates teacher. I completed my comprehensive program in 2016. Being a Fletcher Pilates teacher helped me in all my sports and led me into dance. Though unconventional, Pilates gave me the confidence to experience ballet, modern dance, hip hop and The Martha Graham Technique. My love for Pilates deepened with opportunities to work with so many great people throughout the Pilates community and experiencing their confidence and movement quality improvements. Pilates is healing and I love being able to give people something that can help them in their lives. This work we do is fuel for the body and soul. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with the many clients of Club Pilates Mill Creek Plaza. I grew up in the Lynnwood area so this opportunity to work with those in the Mill Creek community is a special honor for me.

Jody is a passionate Pilates instructor with over 20 years of experience as a student of Classical Pilates. With a background in teaching college mathematics, she found her true passion lies in movement. Motivated by her journey in Pilates, Jody pursued and earned her Pilates certification, to deepen her understanding of how movement can transform the body and mind. She believes that everyone deserves to feel beautiful and comfortable in their own body, and Pilates provides the perfect pathway to achieve that. Grateful for the lessons Pilates has taught her, her philosophy is simple: there is truth, beauty and strength in movement. Currently, Jody is thrilled to be part of the team at Club Pilates Mill Creek Plaza, where she eagerly shares her knowledge and passion with others. She is dedicated to guiding her students on their own Pilates journeys, empowering them to experience the transformative benefits of mindful movement. With her wealth of experience and heartfelt belief in the power of Pilates, Jody is excited to help others discover the joy and healing that comes through movement.

In early 2021, my chiropractor suggested that I start taking Pilates classes to work on my stability, particularly around my neck and shoulders since I was unable to release the pressure from my TMJ disorder. I focused on suspend classes in the beginning, but once I saw and felt improvement, I quickly started expanding the classes I took. When I initially entered the teacher training program, it was to better understand the concepts with the possibility of teaching. I became an apprentice teacher in May 2022, right around when I found out I was pregnant with my first kiddo. Teaching throughout my pregnancy as well as continuing to take classes from other instructors, helped me maintain and protect my core from severe separation. Since finishing my training program, I feel I am still growing as an instructor daily and throughly enjoy all of my time with Club Pilates!

I was working as a Firefighter in UT when I unfortunately had a work-related back injury. This is how I found and learned to embrace Pilates 20 years ago in my quest to avoid surgery and get back to an active lifestyle. I have been fortunate to be able to get trained and certified in Pilates and many other modalities and have loved sharing my passion and knowledge with people in CO,TX,UT, and now WA for over 15 years. There have been many more injuries over the years including breaking my neck this last September, and I can truly say that Pilates helps heal the body and soul!!! When I’m not teaching/practicing Pilates I love all things in the outdoors including hiking, backpacking, biking, paddling, skiing, also my husky Bella and playing music.

My name is Stephanie. I grew up in a small town in Maryland and am the youngest of five siblings. I moved to Washington when I was 19 years old to live with my aunt and uncle while I went to Bellevue college to pursue an associates degree. While I was there, I developed a passion for nutrition and exercise science, which led me to Central University in Ellensburg where I earned my bachelors in Clinical Physiology. Since then, I have worked in both medical offices and physical therapy clinics, but nothing compared to the environment in a Barre/Pilates studio. I was hooked. It was then that I decided to follow my passion. My husband and I were introduced through a mutual friend and live in Sultan with our beautiful 3-year-old daughter, Kate. Pilates has been such a positive thing in my life and I am beyond excited and grateful to be working with an amazing team of people here in Mill Creek doing what I love!
