Chris earned his STOTT certification while in the great city of Chicago. He also holds a degree in Theatre from Shenandoah University, and has extensive experience in the Performance Capture world. Chris uses his mixture of performance and healthy movement to promote fun classes and mind body awareness in his one on one sessions. Conversely, Chris uses his own Pilates practice to create characters and creatures in the video game world (and to keep himself healthy and injury free!)
Chris holds a STOTT Pilates Level 1 Certification in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels.

Jolene Fisher is an AMDA College and Conservatory Los Angeles Dance Theatre Alumni who is currently studying STOTT PILATES to obtain her Comprehensive Certification. She has experienced first hand the continuous benefits that Pilates has had in maintaining physical health, and is excited to continue to learn what Pilates has to offer and integrate it with her years of experience as a performer to teach other individuals its’ benefits on both the mind and body. Jolene was drawn to the STOTT PILATES method for its structure and modifications, and couldn’t be happier to have found a studio near her new home that follows similar values.
