Meet Elaine

Elaine has a background in dance, including competitive cheer, ballet, jazz and hip hop. Sadly, her dancing journey ended when she sustained several injuries, but quickly found high intensity pilates to help her through her fitness slump. She found the method to be highly effective yet low impact on her ailing joints.

Where did you grow up? Born in New Jersey, raised in California - the best of the coasts!
