Instructor
Stormy
Stormy is a lifelong music fan and avid concertgoer who never considered herself to be “into fitness” - until she discovered Pilates in 2021. Experiencing the practical results of a dedicated Pilates practice in her own life (including painlessly standing up for hours at concerts and lugging heavy bass gear to and from gigs without injury or strain) inspired her to become a certified instructor. She completed a 500+ hour Comprehensive Classical Pilates Certification program in 2024 through Pilates Punx in Los Angeles, CA.
Stormy’s fitness philosophy is to make the most of the work so that your body is strong when it’s time to play. She incorporates elements of her Classical Pilates training into her contemporary teaching style, with an emphasis on precision, control, and proper form. Believing that Pilates is for “every body,” Stormy particularly enjoys working with beginners and facilitating injury rehabilitation. She encourages clients at all levels to challenge themselves and celebrate their wins.
