Carol Beringer became enchanted with Pilates 15 years before the opportunity presented to study the method! After her first session in 1996, Carol knew this was how she wanted her body to feel. Within months she began training in earnest by joining an instructor certification program…culminating in what is now an award winning Studio. Carol has worked with professional athletes covering ice hockey, basketball, golf, karate, dancers, musicians, singers – and everything in between through professed couch potatoes. Carol delights in the fact that she learns some new dimension to Pilates every week and has continued her own education by completing 2 additional teacher training programs and has furthered her expertise in 2013 by becoming a certified Movement Specialist and in 2014 by completing a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training including Breathing Techniques and Meditation… Over 2015/16 Carol has completed Yamana Body Rolling courses including Face, Feet and everything in between…making her one of the most diverse instructors in the field. Carol is an avid hiker and cyclist…childhood spent studying ballet…has played tennis competitively and swings a solid golf club. She will or has tried just about every outdoor activity! Her most repeated proclamation is “People simply do not know how good they can feel!” – her youthfulness, energy and enthusiasm are contagious.

Meghan has always been interested in bodies and how they work! She fell in love with Pilates after her first class. Meghan studied and worked hard to become certified in Pilates in 2005…as well as a personal trainer. After a few years, she decided she could further help her clients achieve their fitness and wellness goals by becoming a massage therapist. Meghan has been living her dream since 2008 as both a Pilates instructor and massage therapist.

Meghan earned her BS in Nutrition and Dietetics with a Fitness focus from the University of Delaware. She stays active doing Pilates, yoga, Crossfit(ish) workouts, jiu jitsu, rock climbing, running and cycling. In addition, Meghan has completed one full marathon and two Olympic distance triathlons. She is no stranger to the aches, pains, highs, lows, injuries and joys that come with leading an active lifestyle. Living the dream has continued with her marriage to Patrick Martin in 2014 – and the birth of Lily Meadows Martin on September 6, 2016!

Meghan will work with you to keep your body in optimal working order!
