Merilee

Merilee, originally from Seattle, WA, moved to San Diego after graduating from Seattle University with a degree in Marketing. After years of gazing down at the computer, stress and fatigue she started to develop lower back issues. A friend took her to a Pilates class and she was hooked instantly. Her pain started disappearing and soon it was gone completely. Pilates had changed Merilee’s life, and she knew that she had to use the energy she got from her new practice to help other people suffering as well.

Merilee has been working as an instructor at the Pilates Room since January of 2017. In January 2019, she received STOTT Pilates Recognition of Certification for Matwork & Reformer. She currently taking the required continuing education courses annually to maintain this certification.

Alice

During the daytime, I'm an engineer at a biotech company and at night teach pilates. I've been a pilates instructor since 2010 and have been practicing pilates long before that. I enjoy running half marathons, living by the beach, yoga, and music festivals. Hope to see you in my class :)

Tricia

Tricia was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago, IL and moved to San Diego in 2009. She discovered the Pilates Room soon after her move and was immediately hooked. She began taking classes 4-5 times a week and could not believe the results and core strength pilates had given her. After building amazing relationships with her instructors, she decided to take the leap and completed her Teacher Training in the summer of 2014 at the Pilates Room. She has been teaching ever since and has truly found her passion! She has built tremendous relationships with her clients who come regularly to her classes. She loves watching her students grow both mentally and physically and enjoys challenging them to push themselves to new limits!

During this time she taught both dance and cheerleading to girls ages 4-13. In 2007 she was named Head Dance Coach for Charter High School in Escondido, California. The following year, Whitney was invited to join an elite Hip-Hop Company based in San Diego. In college, Whitney had the opportunity to travel to Chicago and study jazz and lyrical dance at the Giordano Dance studio. During this time Whitney moved to Philadelphia and started to taking Pilates at a private studio. It was there she was asked by the owner if she had any interest in teaching and of course she said YES!
