House Instructors

Hi, I'm Emily, the owner of The Pilates House

When did you start Pilates: I started taking Pilates over 14  years ago. Ironically, I started Pilates in this same studio I now own. Life can be full-circle sometimes! After my first class I felt muscles I never knew I had, and was hooked. I found pilates was the perfect workout to keep my bones strong, lean and body toned. 

Favorite area to work: Core + legs + arms.  Everything!

Favorite band:  Flora Cash, The 1975, Holly Humberstone.  

Daily must have: Coffee, water, Fresh Juice

Fun fact: I am not a red head. 

Life Motto:  Surround yourself with happy positive people and life will always be amazing! Good vibes only. 

Shantel is our newest mama to be, expecting her little girl in May of 2022. We hope she returns to us when she's settled with her bundle of joy! Best of luck, and we miss you. xo

Meet Kelley + Maud, our studio mascot

When did you start Pilates: Over 20 years ago, when I was introduced to it after an injury from an accident. It was unlike anything I'd ever done before and I loved how it made me feel. I was instantly hooked! I bring an athletic twist to my classes.

Daily must have:  Maud,  working out and H20

Fun Fact: I'm a Christmas twin!

Meet Carrie, our Barre queen at The Pilates House

Why do you love Barre? I love Barre because it's the ultimate full body workout that also incorporates a dance vibe so it never gets boring. 

Why'd you start teaching? I started teaching because I wanted to bring a fun workout to people who enjoy moving to music as much as I do. You're using strength, flexibility, endurance and balance in each class. Total burn! 

Fav Music? Everything but Country! 

Life Motto: Everything in life is a learning experience to make you the best version of yourself. Nothing is by accident, so enjoy the journey.

Meet Jessica, our almost mama to 3 beautiful babes! 

Jess started teaching Pilates because of the changes she saw in her body after taking her first few classes. 

- Why do you love Pilates? Pilates is a full body physical activity that differs from cardio and weight lifting. It strengthens and tones while teaching how to safety engage the core to assist in all movements throughout life. I also love seeing others enjoy a good workout and feel amazing, like I did and still do from Pilates. 

- Daily must have? A workout, and dessert. 

- Favorite band/music style? County and oldies 

- Fun Fact?  I've known Emily since High School, we lived (parents still do) in the same neighborhood.
