  Lori

  Instructor

  I am a wife, a working mom and an entrepreneur. Over my lifetime, I have been many sizes but always enjoyed keeping fit with a lot of different genres. I love being challenged and the community that fitness brings. I have always had a desire to be an instructor but was busy with my family, my job and my jewelry business. I found Pilates about 10 years ago and fell in love with the way my body reacted to it. I have been practicing in the community during that time. In 2017 a studio offering a teacher training program opened near my home and I jumped at the opportunity. I have completed my Mat Pilates, Reformer, Barrel and Cadillac and have been teaching at that same studio. I believe that life is a journey and everything happens for a reason. I look forward to challenging you to reach your goals along your journey.

  Catherine

  Instructor

  Catherine's love for Pilates started a few years ago when she realized the importance of gaining core strength and adding fitness to her daily life. Realizing how much Pilates has helped her gain confidence and achieve a healthy lifestyle, she wanted to become an instructor to help others feel good about themselves too. Catherine has since then gotten professionally trained by STOTT Pilates in Mat Intensive, Reformer, Chair, Barrel and Cadillac. She is very excited to meet all the new members of Club Pilates and help them to meet their physical goals in a safe and fun environment.

  Jess

  Instructor

  Jess first discovered Pilates when a dance teacher told her it would help with her technique. She was intrigued with the Reformer and dabbled with Pilates over the next few years, wishing she could take her teacher training though the opportunity never came. Instead, Jess has trained extensively as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer, garnering certifications from indoor cycling to Zumba, yoga and TRX. She has been teaching & training for the past 10 years and, with the opening of Club Pilates here in Canada, Jess was able to take advantage of participating in the first Club Pilates Teacher Training program in Canada. She is thrilled that the wait is finally over and she can add Pilates to her toolbox. Jess cannot wait to share her love of safe movement and an energizing group atmosphere with Club Pilates South Surrey members.

  Narmin

  Instructor

  I studied Art and got my graduate degree in Theatre, but I have always had a passion for fitness and health. In 2010, I moved to the US, where I was introduced to Pilates and fell in love with the method. Soon after, I started my professional training with STOTT Pilates and completed courses in Mat-Reformer-Cadillac-Chair-Barrel-Injuries and Special Populations. I got my certification in 2013 and in the same year started working at Lifetime Fitness Health Club in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I taught both group classes and private sessions, and I have worked with people at different fitness levels from the ages of 17 to 75. Last year, I moved to BC and I am so excited to share my experience and love for Pilates with Club Pilates members.
