Maddie discovered Pilates in college after being diagnosed with scoliosis and quickly fell in love with it as a form of physical therapy. Determined to fix her spine herself, she got certified at 20 while still attending college. She saw the healing effects Pilates had on her own body and wanted to help others feel strong and confident as well. After graduating from Auburn University last spring, she moved to Atlanta to pursue her passion for Pilates.

It only took one class for me to fall in love with Pilates. After a car accident, years spent behind a desk, and wobbly knees from competitive cheerleading, I discovered that Pilates helped me build strength (in the often overlooked muscles) and connect to my body in a way I hadn’t before. I pursued teacher training to better understand and improve my own practice; but It didn’t take long to realize I wanted to share my passion for Pilates with others. I completed my 500+ hour Comprehensive Pilates training through Balanced Body, and graduated from the Mentorship program at The Studio this year! I’m an Engineering Program Manager by day so you will find me teaching at night. Creating a safe space for people to explore the method is very important to me. The hope is that I can leave people better than I found em’ ❤️

Lexxi discovered Pilates after being involved in a hit & run car accident that left her with minor bursitis in one knee and a herniated disc in her lumbar spine. Before the accident, she enjoyed heavy weight lifting and cardio but was cautious about getting back into her routine and not interfering with chiropractic adjustments. And thus, her love for Pilates was born! She originally picked up Mat Pilates to learn more about the foundations until she took her first class at The Studio. The community The Studio has to offer from the exceptionally knowledgable instructors to a beautiful and peaceful space to move, she was inspired to become an Instructor. Lexxi completed her 500-hr Comprehensive Certification in Dec 2024 and she continues to learn, grow and find enjoyment within the Contrology that Pilates brings.

Kelli is an Atlanta native who has always seen movement as a form of self-expression and therapeutic release. Growing up as a competitive gymnast and dancer, she was drawn to Pilates after years of high-impact sports left her searching for something kinder to her body. She quickly fell in love with Pilates for its low-impact approach and its ability to build strength without aggravating old injuries, especially in the hips and back. Kelli began her journey at The Studio Pilates in 2023 as a dedicated student and immediately felt inspired to pursue the teacher training program to expand her knowledge of the Pilates method and encourage others in feeling strong, balanced and confident. She hopes to have a positive and lasting impact on her students just as her instructors have had on her. Kelli is certified in Mat, Reformer, and Tower, and is currently working toward her comprehensive certification in Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel.
