  Melinda Ayala

  Instructor

  I started doing pilates in June 2015 after deciding to take control back of my life and become healthy and fit. After increased weight gain, I suffered from chronic knee and back pain. I regurlarly took prescription medication to ease the pain. My first class challenged my body in ways I had not experienced before and fell in love with it. I instantly starting taking classes on the regular basis and saw major transformations in her body. To date, I have lost over 110 lbs and no longer takes medication. My love for Pilates took me on a journey to become a teacher and wishes to share my passion and success through teaching.

  GG Ali

  Instructor

  Gigi Ali came to Pilates as an experienced HIIT Bootcamp instructor. Her passion for the Pilates method was found after undergoing a spinal injury brought on by high impact exercise and heavy weight lifting. Gigi believes that one of the greatest benefits of Pilates is its focus on core strength being that it is primary in developing balance throughout the entire body and not only in Pilates class but in everyday life as we are constantly being pulled down by gravity. She finds happiness and fulfillment in teaching others correct movement and creating a safe and fun environment for her students. You can expect a thorough yet fun approach in her classes while improving balance, body awareness and strength.
