Friday 7am-12pm

With a background in Human Movement and Health Education, She ventured into a corporate career focusing on development and training. The arrival of three children in quick succession prompted a transformative journey toward Pilates. It became my refuge for rebuilding strength and gaining a deeper understanding of my body. This experience led me back to my passion for human movement, inspiring me to pursue a diploma in Pilates in 2011.

I firmly advocate that Pilates is inclusive for all bodies, embracing its adaptable nature that accommodates everyone's practice.

Meet Courtney

Wednesday 4:30-8:30pm

Saturday 8am-12pm

Courtney has 19 years in the fitness and wellness industry. Her love of pilates and indoor cycling was sparked while living in Chicago pursuing her bachelor's degree in nutrition from the University of Illinois. During graduate school, Courtney took on training to become a Pilates Instructor, completing all of the Intensive and Intermediate curriculum offered via Stott Pilates. She is certified to teach on the mat, reformer, cadillac, chair, and barrels. Courtney has found that Pilates is a beneficial foundation for other sports she loves, including outdoor cycling and crossfit, building the strength and bodily awareness that is crucial to competing well. She has also found that Pilates is the best way to ground herself, whether feeling physical pain or emotional strain. As Joseph Pilates said, "change happens through movement, and movement heals". Courtney spent the past 13 years in Washington, DC working with private clients and group classes. She is also a registered dietitian in the United States and has dedicated her life to improving the environments in which we live, work, and play. She is thrilled to be starting a new chapter in Sydney and can't wait to meet you!
