Kelly became a certified Level 5 Romana’s Pilates teacher in August 2017 after training for nearly two years with at Pilates of West County in St. Louis. Throughout her apprenticeship she also trained with teachers in Chicago, Ft. Lauderdale, and New York City, working with master teachers and on some of Joseph Pilates’ original equipment! Romana’s Pilates develops instructors using techniques and knowledge that is as close to the original teaching as is available anywhere in the world. Kelly is excited to bring that knowledge to her Edwardsville community. 
Harley’s passion for health and wellness has been longstanding. She played soccer at Vanderbilt University before transferring to North Carolina State University to pursue a degree in nutrition and to continue her soccer career. College athletics led her to the fitness industry- through a mixture of rehabilitation from many injuries and lots of meetings with the team dietitian, she knew that she wanted to choose a career that involved helping others be the healthiest version of themselves. As a recent graduate in May of 2018, she now has a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition Science. Her favorite ways to stay active are hiking and yoga. While searching for an exercise to fill the void of soccer, she was introduced to Barre and instantly fell in love with its challenging, but low-impact nature. She is a certified barre instructor through IBBFA’s Barre Certification Level 1. She plans to continue her education at St. Louis University to become a Registered Dietitian.
Amy grew up being active in a plethora of sports and outdoor activities including golf, basketball, gymnastics, skiing, running and volleyball. Her passion and dedication to golf lead her to a golf scholarship at the University of Missouri – St. Louis. After suffering from a sports injury, Amy’s focus quickly turned to fitness.
Angela was born and raised in Southern Illinois where she grew up involved in many sports such as volleyball, golf, and basketball. Her love for athletics guided her to the University of Kentucky where she worked for the men’s basketball team throughout college. Illness and injury lead Angela to yoga, Pilates, and zumba due to her deep eagerness to heal through movement. A healthy lifestyle of eating more natural and clean also became a way of life during this time.
Amelia has grown up and worked in Edwardsville, Illinois. She has always had a discipline for getting in a morning run or workout before the start of her day. Her passion for fitness grew from playing field hockey in high school. She has placed in her age group for many running races completed her first marathon at the 2016 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, which earned her a Boston qualifying time. She began taking barre classes at the Pilates Barre Studio during her marathon training and has been actively participating since then.

She believes that the exercises provided through barre and pilates are necessary to keeping the body fit and healthy. She is a certified barre instructor through IBBFA’s Barre Certification Level 1. She is currently studying at SIUE to earn her Bachelors in Accountancy and will be graduating in December of 2017.

In 2014, Caryl Scobbie set a New Year’s Resolution goal to regularly incorporate Pilates into her workout regimen, and has been taking classes at the studio ever since! Pilates has been the one workout that has not only changed her body, but has given her a new awareness of the bad habits she has developed in her every day movements and stances. Pilates is not a workout for her, it is a reward, and this is what drove her decision to become Pilates certified and enroll in the intermediate teaching program through The Pilates Center of Boulder, CO.

Martha Allen began taking Pilates mat classes as a result of a patella sublaxation when she was a high school student taking daily ballet, modern, and jazz classes. Her interest and class work in Pilates continued during her college life as Pilates was an integral part of the modern dance curriculum at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. Mat classes paved the way for private lessons with the tower, reformer, and the Cadillac. Martha began her formal Pilates training with Mary Brown, in August 2013. Pilates has enabled Martha to further her dance career and enhance her everyday life. Martha is excited to start her teaching journey at the Pilates Barre Studio in Edwardsville and share her love of Pilates!
Peggy has been a fitness fanatic since she can remember. After a car accident, she had ruptured a disc in her lower back, but she was determined to avoid surgery and taught herself how to relieve the pain through her own studies of Pilates. After taking a few privates at The Pilates Barre Studio, she started her official Pilates training through The Core Center’s PMA approved comprehensive Pilates teacher training. She loves researching and expanding her knowledge on the benefits and practice of Pilates. Peggy is passionate about helping others reach their fitness goals, feel better about themselves, and work through current aches and pains.
