A note from our founder & certified Pilates instructor
I started Pilates by Valerie to create the kind of studio I always wanted to see — one where everyone feels welcome, movement is accessible, and strength comes in many forms.
While I had always loved fitness and different exercise modalities, I discovered Pilates over a decade ago and immediately connected with its mind-body benefits. After retiring from a successful career in Corporate America, I became a certified Power Pilates instructor, driven by my passion for making movement accessible to all.
I became a certified Pilates instructor to help others experience the same joy, confidence, and transformation that Pilates gave me. I founded Pilates by Valerie to bring the power of Pilates to diverse and underserved communities, especially women over 40.
At my studio, you won’t find pressure, perfection, or intimidation. You’ll find a place to move, grow, and feel your best — on your own terms, alongside people who look like you.
I can’t wait to meet you!
