Marti Boyle

Studio 124 Pilates, Owner

I remember with joy the weekend that I drove 600 miles across Texas to take my first Pilates lesson with my mentor Colleen Glenn. It was almost 20 years ago, and I have been intrigued ever since! I love to move!

In fact after years of competition in everything from dance, cycling, running, triathlon, pro bodybuilding and figure shows, I discovered something that made me stop and literally take a breath. That something was Pilates. Through my 20 years of studies, certifications, workshops and personal practice, I found a sacred space in which profound healing took place for my body, mind and soul. I learned how teaching this work could help me spread that feeling of reverence and delight to others. I have had the privilege of working in pain clinics, hospitals and my own studios with individuals of all ages, conditions and ability levels. I found that there is indeed a common thread between these people and Pilates; it is accessible to anyone who wants to learn.

I have seen this work change many people by giving them new and improved mobility, posture, self-confidence and a sense of achievement The lives of my teachers, students and family have changed with it. I am so blessed to continue sharing Pilates and fitness here in our studio.

DAVID CLARK

Pilates Instructor

As a welder, my body is in compromised positions all day.  Five years ago, I took a Pilates class on a whim and finally found relief for my pain. Pilates has given me strength, flexibility and healing on many levels. I have found that people are looking for a teacher who challenges them, yet pays close attention to their special needs.  Pilates provides a balanced system of support and growth for a wide variety of activities and sports.

JAMIE CHURCHWARD

Pilates Instructor

As a lifelong athlete and lover of health and fitness, Jamie was first drawn to Pilates in 2001 after taking a class through the University of Toronto. Years later, Jamie once again became interested in Pilates after it helped her regain her core strength after the birth of her first child in 2015. Since that time, Pilates has helped to strengthen Jamie’s body and increase her stamina and flexibility.

Pilates has also helped alleviate Jamie’s neck and back pain from a motor vehicle accident in 2012 and back pain from carrying her second child. Jamie is passionate about helping people realize the potential that Pilates has to heal and strengthen the body in a safe and enjoyable way.

In addition to Pilates, Jamie loves traveling, sewing and spending time with her family.
