I became a certified Pilates instructor in 2006 while interning as a Personal Trainer in Chicago. I originally signed up just for the mat cert and fell in love! I’ve had the unique opportunity to be a Personal Trainer and Pilates Trainer for the past 17 years. I spent my career in management as a Fitness Director in commercial fitness for about 15 of those years, mentoring and training both PTs and Pilates Trainers. I also gained education through numerous certifications in pre and post rehab, joint mobility, nutrition, and most recently health and wellness coaching. I connected with Club Pilates back in 2016 and began teaching there both in Chicago and when I moved to New York in 2018. I loved the experience and would work there while also managing at Life Time in Westchester County. I left commercial fitness in 2021 to reopen my LLC and focus on business coaching and online training, but teach both in Chicago and the suburbs (and even New York!) any time I am in town. I am great with all levels, but particularly beginners since I am great with breaking down the exercises and being clear and concise with my classes. My typical feedback is wow, that went by so fast, and I feel like I knew exactly why I was doing what and it felt great! My goal any time I sub at a studio is to come in, give a great workout and ensure that I leave the studio better than I found it. I know how difficult it can be managing a studio and instructors, so I try to ensure I make your job easier! Opportunities and locations: I’ll be in Florida for much of December into part of January both in Ft Meyers and Clearwater to help with subbing during the holidays.
