Brooke Brace

It was on a fateful day during the summer of 2014 when Brooke stumbled upon her first Pilates workout video online. She had just wrapped up her freshman year at Slippery Rock University, when she felt the toll of college hit her; a rundown body, poor regular diet, awful sleep schedule, bad posture from sitting at a desk, plus the mental stress from studying and finding a new social life. She found herself looking for a lifestyle change that would benefit her body and mind in the long run. Brooke knew nothing about Pilates, but needed to start somewhere in her journey.

With that, she clicked on the video, and never looked back.

Pilates became a huge part of Brooke's weekly routine. She continued to practice throughout college and post-graduation where she spent four years living in Boston, MA. While most of her practice was at home, Brooke also loved attending classes that challenged her to execute each move correctly, making her stronger than before. Throughout her pregnancy, she practiced Pilates safely, and even used it to gently, yet effectively, heal her body postpartum. Though Brooke has expanded her exercise routine to include HIIT, weights, and now Yoga, she has found herself to be grounded in Pilates time and time again.

In winter of 2022, Brooke became officially certified through AFPA in order to teach Pilates to everyone eager to learn. Whether you're new or familiar with Pilates, you are welcomed to Brooke's class with open arms! You'll have fun and feel good while doing so.
