With 20+ years of experience in fitness and wellness, Beverly is eager to share her passion for movement. Her enthusiasm is fueled by the successes of her clients as they discover the benefits of Pilates and exercise in their daily lives. Seeing and feeling the positive affects fitness has for all ages and body types is very exciting and rewarding as she continues to challenge herself to grow as an instructor. With first-hand experience of how stress and injuries can affect our bodies, she strives to focus on practice, not perfection. Beverly works with all types of clients, from post-rehab to competitive athletes. As an educator, she is committed to helping her clients achieve their fitness goals by becoming stronger, mindful of the body’s posture, breath, flexibility and core strength. Beverly continues to teach her clients to never stop moving, no matter what age!

Although Beverly’s initial Pilates Certification and Master Pilates Certification were both through Peak Pilates, a classical program, she wanted to add the contemporary approach to her repertoire as well as share her love of teaching Pilates with others. Through PSC, she completed their program and is thrilled to provide the PSC Pilates Teacher Training Program as well as PMA CEC workshops.

Frances began her journey as a group exercise instructor in 2003. Starting out teaching Strollercise with her then 6 month old daughter (now 14), she moved on to teach Spinning and found her home in the saddle. Her affinity for spinning came naturally as an avenue to inspire and coach others to improve their cycling ability and to step outside of their comfort zones. Frances believes that everyone can achieve their fitness goals provided they have a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment. As an instructor, Frances will motivate and inspire you with energetic workouts, constant support, challenging routines, and a ROCKIN' playlist!

Frances lives in Prosper with her husband, 3 daughters, and 2 dogs. When she's not teaching, you can find her poolside, spending time with family and friends or enjoying live music around town. 

Danielle has a particular passion for Pilates and values its principals and how they can be incorporated into peoples lives as well as any fitness activity or sport. She enjoys implementing this training into all of her group fitness classes as well as her individual client sessions. Her clients encompass all ages and abilities, including those challenged by injuries or permanent disabilities such as scoliosis and spinal fusions to the elite athlete looking for continued strength. Her guiding philosophy of balance in all things is something she aspires to in her personal and professional life as well as encourage in her clients.

Danielle lives in Plano with her husband and two sons, and when she finds the time, loves to walk her dog, read historical fiction, swim, cycle, volunteer and travel.  She is also an accomplished runner, and has competed in everything from 5Ks and marathons to sprint-distance triathlons.

Lori’s journey began with sports growing up in Chicago: gymnastics, soccer, basketball, track, tennis…you name it, she played it. During college, she started teaching aerobics, step aerobics, and cycle. Soon, she completed hatha yoga teacher training. Lori ended up moving to Arizona for a job, and continued to teach spinning, yoga, and strength classes, while working in medical sales (and running half marathons). She moved to Philadelphia for her husband, and she continued to work in medical sales while teaching until her son was born! After having her son, she noticed that her body wasn’t the same; she suffered from back and hamstring issues while running, which led her to Pilates.

Lori started taking Pilates Reformer classes 2-3 times a week and became hooked! She loved how her body felt and wanted to share that with others. With her husband's job demands of traveling weekly, she left her medical sales job and decided to do the Power Pilates Teacher Training in Philadelphia and the rest is history!

Karis was a successful competitive figure skater for nineteen years of her life. She was introduced to Pilates when she was twelve years old due to its emphasis on strengh, balance, coordination, and correct biomechanics. Participating in Pilates positvely influenced her skating as well as her overall functionality. Karis endured multiple injuries during her competitive career that kept her off the ice. In order to keep her mind and body strong during these times, she used Pilates as her main source of rehab and exercise. All of the joys and hardships of being a competitive athlete instilled a passion for understanding the function of the human body. This passion led her to hang up her skates and fully pursue a degree in Kinesiology with the long term endeavor of becoming a doctor of chiropractic. Karis realized her experience in Pilates aligned itself with her future career goals and thus decided to become a certified instructor. She now strives to apply her knowledge and experience of the human body to aid her clients in reaching their personal goals. 

Justin’s love for athletics started at a very young age when he came across the figure skaters on one of the public session at the Galleria mall. His eyes never leaving the rink, his parents asked if he wanted to try it. From there, he would embark on a seventeen year long career in the sport of figure skating, becoming a national bronze medalist and being named to US Figure Skatings Athletic Developmental team. Justin was introduced to Pilates during his competitive career as a way to help build and control his muscles to be able to perform at the highest functionality for figure skating. On top of being a competitive athlete, Justin also has a huge love for the arts. Whether it be drawing, sketching, or designing, he always loves to use the creative side of his brain. While pursuing a degree in Fashion and Merchandising at UNT, he hopes to take Reform and Ride to new highest with their marketing and social media!
