About Michelle
Hi, I'm Michelle! Originally from Ohio and transplanted in the beautiful state of North Carolina!
In December 2007, I earned my Bachelor or Science Degree in Consumer Affairs (+Minor in Business Administration) from The Ohio State University. Upon graduating, my competitive-drive allowed me to establish successful careers in both the medical device sales and IT sales industries (2007-2019).
​
In 2011, I found Reformer Pilates which became my passion and preferred exercise modality (3-4x weekly) to stay fit, increase flexibility, and combat chronic migraines and other strains/stress associated with prolonged periods of sedentary desk and travel time.
​
After 9 years of being a Pilates student/client, my competitive-drive and passion for Pilates grew into a desire to teach! In 2019, I began Balanced Body Reformer Pilates Instructor Training: and am now certified in all levels of Reformer.
​
I apply my passion and (student-to-instructor) transformation experience into every private, semi-private, and class-setting workout. I am focused on helping clients discover how good their bodies are designed to feel and work towards optimizing their body's greatest potential!
​
Looking forward to seeing you in the studio!

PILATES EQUIPMENT
In our Studio, you will find different Pilates equipment, which was meant to be used together to maximize a workout. We are proud to use the best in the industry, Balanced Body equipment.
Reformer
​
The Universal Reformer is the most popular and versatile piece of equipment developed by Joseph Pilates. It is an exercise machine that addresses virtually every part of the body, by using a pulley system and springs of varying strengths that provide resistance and assistance. Exercises vary from simple isolated movements to complex exercises using the whole body to create long lean muscle and balanced muscle development. The reformer provides a low impact workout with extraordinary results!
Pilates Chair​
The Chair was originally designed by Joseph Pilates as a compact workout system for small NYC apartments. The Chair is the most challenging piece of equipment, and offers a fun, unique, full body workout, focusing on lower and upper body strength conditioning. Chair exercises will enhance stability, balance, and body control. It is a great addition to any class, and excellent for athletes.
​
Cadillac/Tower/Trapeze Table
​
The Cadillac/Tower/Trapeze table is an extremely versatile piece of equipment that offers a wide range of exercises from simple therapeutic work to advanced acrobatics. It supports fitness and rehabilitation for all ages and abilities. This apparatus is only used in private sessions.
Pilates Springboard
​
The Pilates Springboard brings the Tower exercises to the wall for group classes, providing an invigorating full body workout. Many of the Reformer exercises can be performed on the Springboard, but will feel very different in the body, giving you a completely different experience. Just like the Reformer, springs are used to resist and assist you.
Ladder Barrel​
The Ladder Barrel is great for core strength and flexibility exercises. It adds a different element to exercises that can be performed on other equipment such as Swan and Climb a Tree. The Ladder Barrel is used in private sessions only.
