Carolyn discovered the benefits of Pilates in 2004 when she was looking for a way to build strength, flatten the lower belly and increase energy levels.

"I was tired every day and discovered that the stretching and strength building exercises in the Pilates routine provided the extra burst of energy I needed during those late afternoon hours."

Believing in the benefits of Pilates so much, and wanting to share them with others who were looking for an exercise program that provides more than just physical results, she decided to become a certified Pilates Mat Instructor with the American Fitness Professionals Association. She has been teaching Mat Pilates for over two years and has plans to continue her Pilates education. Using props such as the Pilates ring, resistance bands and the Pilates ball, students in Carolyn's classes can expect to feel invigorated, motivated and energized.
