Meet the Business Owner

Marie and Haley G.

Business Owner

Marie & Haley are both certified Comprehensive Pilates Instructors, CoreAlign Instructors & Marie is a Pre/​Postnatal Pilates Specialist through the Center for Women’s Fitness. A former marathoner, Marie is personally familiar with the toll sports can take on a body. «Having a deep knowledge of the Pilates method then would have prevented many of my poor movement patterns & subsequent injuries.»

The real life altering benefits of Pilates came in the most unexpected way in 2006, Haley was recovering from brain surgery. Under the care of a cutting-​edge physical therapy group, Pilates equipment was used extensively in her rehabilitation.

Our immense gratitude for the help Pilates offered Haley eventually guided us both on a most rewarding career path; learning to teach others to move, feel, & perform better. Haley especially loves developing her client’s mindful approach to physical fitness. No matter their age, everyone benefits from increased strength & stamina in all they do!

I happened to spot this Pilates studio at mid valley by chance and feel extremely lucky to have found it. Haley is co-​owner with her mom, Marie. Haley’s guidance and corrections through the exercises is so good and necessary to both prevent possible injury and get maximum benefit from the routine. Every class is different and often Haley asks what we want to work on. The class is never repetitive or boring. The studio is immaculate and they offer mat classes as well as equipment — they have it all. I have osteoporosis and Haley knows exactly how to modify the movements for me so I protect my spine. I look forward to my classes every week and am amazed with Haley’s knowledge of Pilates. Highly recommend this studio — definitely worth checking out!

Marie and Haley are two incredible experts who really know the body and see it as a whole interconnected working system. I have done private pilates with half a dozen different instructors and these two are far and away the best. They saved me from a surgery that all the doctors were saying was inevitable. What’s more is that I look stronger than ever because I am strong! Its amazing what they can do in an hour a week. My husband and I are hooked on the way we feel after class. Our lower backs are opened up, our shoulders are relaxed and not hunched over… its truly incredible. One session with these lovely ladies and you will understand how pilates is the foundation for all Physical Therapy work. These girls are into their continuing ed and it shows. They really know what they are doing.

What a lovely studio. Like a zen spa retreat, super clean, bright, lovely atmosphere. Then there’s Marie… super focused on each client and you get 110% of her attention during your session. I have learned so much in just a few sessions and the hour flies by. I find her instruction to be concise and she is always focused on correct form and preventing injury. Some of the movements are tiny, but I know I’m working hard as I work up a good sweat. She’s provided me with several take-​home moves/​stretches to help with back issues and everyday movements. I leave every session inspired and challenged.
I also very much enjoy that each session is different, so I don’t get bored and I am always learning. So far, really, really, really happy with this studio and with Marie.
