Meet our instructor, Carissa! Movement has always been second nature to her. Carissa started dancing at three and added a tumbling class in middle school, followed by gymnastics in high school. She took her first Pilates Mat class in 2007 and it just made sense. Carissa loves the way Pilates challenges her physically and mentally and is continually amazed at how much stronger, more flexible, and more aware she has become. Pilates feels like a sport: it pushes her, motivates her, and keeps her coming back for more. What Carissa loves most is that Pilates isn’t just about exercise—it’s about connection. With breath, with movement, with yourself. Pilates has helped her increase her core strength, reduce injuries, improve mobility, and just feel better overall.

Meet our instructor, Miriam! Miriam has always had a passion for fitness and movement, and she brings that energy into every class she teaches. With Puerto Rican and Spanish roots, her upbeat and fun teaching style shines through—especially in her favorite format, Cardio Sculpt. She loves challenging her members while keeping the atmosphere lively and motivating. Miriam completed the Club Pilates 500-hour Comprehensive Teacher Training Program and is trained across all major Pilates apparatus, including the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Ladder Barrel. She specializes in creating empowering, dynamic workouts that meet every fitness level. A fitness enthusiast for over 25 years, Miriam began her journey with Club Pilates at the front desk of our Wall and Howell locations, where she quickly fell in love with Pilates. Inspired by the impact it had on her own life, she became an instructor to help others discover the same strength and confidence. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find her spending time with her daughter, Gabby (the Manager at Club Pilates Wall), strength training, or taking Pilates classes herself. For Miriam, the greatest reward as an instructor is seeing her students grow stronger, more confident, and fall in love with Pilates along the way.

Meet our instructor, Lauren! Lauren discovered mat Pilates in high school and returned to her practice in 2020, finding strength and healing through reformer Pilates after dealing with old sports injuries to her knee and shoulder. As a busy mom of two young children and a longtime middle school teacher, she appreciated Pilates for its ability to deliver a full-body, low-impact workout in every session. After 16 years in education and feeling the effects of burnout, Lauren combined her passion for teaching and movement by becoming a certified Pilates instructor, eager to share the physical and mental benefits of the practice with others.

Meet our instructor, Jennifer! From the minute Jennifer took her Intro to Pilates class she knew she was hooked! She promised herself one hour of me time a day, and it became her passion. Between taking classes and private sessions Pilates became a part of her. The mind and body connection that she was able to achieve with Pilates changed her life. Jennifer knew she wanted to be able to help others feel the way Pilates makes her feel. She became an instructor to be able to help those in her classes escape their everyday stressors for one hour and leave feeling better than when they came in!

Kayla has always been excited about movement and mindfulness. She discovered Pilates as the perfect way to connect the two, using breath and intentional movement to strengthen the mind-body connection. Kayla’s journey in fitness began early- her first job was in a gym, where she knew she wanted to pursue a certification as soon as she was old enough. At 18, she became a certified group fitness instructor and has continued to build on her foundation ever since. She also has a background in dance and was a Division I collegiate cheerleader. Kayla is nearing completion of Club Pilates’ 500-hour Comprehensive Teacher Training Program and is trained across all major apparatus, including the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Ladder Barrel. Becoming a certified Pilates instructor has been a way to reconnect her love of movement with helping others experience the same confidence, strength, and joy that Pilates has brought to her life.
