Angie has been interested in fitness all of her life with the goal of getting some kind of certification within the fitness industry. She first learned about Pilates in 1995. While observing changes in her aerobics teacher’s body, she noticed that aerobics had made the instructor’s body quite boxy, but after doing Pilates for some time her body began to look more elongated. Angie naturally has a more muscular shape and saw the benefits of this newfound exercise. At the time, the only Pilates studios were located in Seattle. Discouraged, she made the commute to train there anyway for a short time but found it to be too costly to continue training in Seattle. Fast forward about 8 years when she found The Pilates Bodies in Motion Studio. There she began to train 3 to 4 days a week and soon enrolled in Body Arts and Science International certification program. Through hard work and dedication she has lost nearly 2o inches off of her body and has realized the true benefits Pilates has to offer in all areas of her life: mind, body and spirit. She continues to teach the BASI Pilates method and remains working toward higher education. Angie is dedicated to excellence in her training, education, and performance and takes great pride in sharing the Pilates experience.
