Instructors
Belinda Gower
Belinda has been practicing Pilates for over twenty five years and teaching for more than ten. She was first drawn to Pilates for its grace, precision, and fluidity. To her, it was a truly beautiful and purposeful way to move. But what hooked her the most was the way it made her feel—elongated, relaxed, and pain free. It was better than a runner’s high but without the low back pain the next day. From first try, she was addicted.
Belinda is certified by Balanced Body in Mat Pilates, Reformer and and Barre. She holds 4 additional barre certifications from Boston Body, Booty Barre, Tracey Mallet’s Booty Barreless and Suspension Barre. Belinda is known for using the right cues at just the right time. She enjoys helping clients find muscles they never knew they had and seeing them grow taller and stronger before her eyes. One of her favorite parts of teaching is pairing her moves to really good music. She is proud to say that one client claims that her class was the fastest hour of her life.

Kat was first introduced to Pilates in her off season of swimming in College. She loved the way it built her core strength for training and helped with her alignment. Pilates changed the way she moved through water and her everyday life.
