  Carly m Moore

  Instructor

  I discovered Pilates when I was working as a middle school teacher and immediately loved the mind-body connection that developed as a result of consistent practice. As I made a career transition, it was a natural fit to become more involved in the world of wellness and physical fitness, which Joseph Pilates called, "the first requisite of happiness". I love how classes give you the opportunity to spend time on yourself, honor wherever you are in the moment, and push you to get a little bit stronger. Come check out my classes! They definitely sneak up on you as I smile and tell you to do one more! :)

  Rob Benson

  Instructor - Front Desk

  Rob started doing Pilates in 2011, and it was love at first plank! After a robust career as a marketing professional, Rob was ready to change directions and focus more on the things that he loves – which includes dogs and Pilates! So he started his own dog concierge business that focuses on walking, boarding, and creating fresh, healthy homemade dog food. At the same time, he started managing the front desk of Club Pilates Ken Caryl, where he soon began focusing on moving into a teaching role. As Joseph Pilates said: “Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things”. Rob’s approach to teaching is mind/body awareness, while continuing to challenge yourself, with a bit of fun and a sense of humor added for good measure.

  Caitlin Reagan

  Instructor

  My name is Catie Reagin I am a Denver native and all around outdoor/active girl! When I am not teaching pilates I enjoy going to the gym or being outside hiking/biking/camping with my boyfriend and puppy, Willow. After finishing my biology degree at college, I got into the fitness world by getting my personal training certification from NASM. I even went on to do a couple bodybuilding competitions. However, something was missing. I training everyday but my body hurt and my joints were killing me. I later found pilates and have NEVER looked back. I truly believe pilates is for everyBODY. It has helped me not only physically but mentally be the best person I can be. I look forward to helping clients rehab injuries, push themselves to new limits or try new moves during my classes. Please come see me soon!

  Grace Ann Ward

  Instructor

  Grace Ann first ventured into the Pilates world as a middle-schooler looking for strength training and stretching to compliment her love of dance. Using old mat Pilates videos, she quickly fell in love with the movements and how they made her feel. Today, Grace Ann is counselor for adolescents, families, and young adults and loves the balance that Pilates brings into her life. For her, Pilates is less about "exercise" and more about mindful movement, intentional breath, and building a healthy relationship with your body. She feels strongly that the mind-body connection is an integral part in healing the whole person. Doing so alongside a supportive, fun community (like the one at Club Pilates) makes it all the better! Grace Ann is excited to join the team and looks forward to having you in class!
