  Sarah Masyra

  Instructor

  After 10 years in the Media business, Sarah moved with her husband and kids from the city to the 'burbs, deciding to change her focus to staying home with her young children. Sarah was always an avid athlete, and found that keeping up with fitness helped give her the sanity break she needed. Running became a favorite pastime but something was missing - which she found through Pilates. Not only did Pilates help strengthen Sarah in a way no other exercise has, but it helped her to find a way to connect her love of fitness with her love of helping others. Training to become an instructor was an no brainer! Sarah's classes are upbeat, challenging and always fun - be prepared to work hard and walk out with a smile on your face!

  Stephanie Vieira

  Instructor

  After 15 years working in the healthcare industry in New York and Philadelphia, Stephanie moved back to NJ and decided to stay at home with her three young children. Having previously lived in cities that were very walkable, she had a regular workout schedule but struggled to find time for herself in the suburbs and began to feel the effects on her body. Enter Pilates! Feeling a bit out of shape, she was initially drawn to the concept of a total body workout while lying down - but was quickly surprised by how much stronger she was becoming and how her energy was increasing. Pilates soon became a daily addiction, and after a while, becoming an instructor seemed the natural next step. Now Stephanie loves anything on the reformer that doesn’t require lying down and she strives to challenge herself – and her clients – to reach new goals in every class.

  Amy Wise

  Instructor

  Amy “retired” from practicing law when she and her family moved to New Jersey from the south in 2011. She had been predominantly focusing on cardio exercise but wanted something else in her workout routine. A dear friend and Club Pilates instructor encouraged her to try pilates. She fell in love immediately. Further, she was amazed by how quickly the back pain and weakness she suffered from her scoliosis disappeared. Several years later, she was ready for a new career path and the passion she felt for how pilates changed her life was something she wanted to share with others, so she became an instructor. Amy was selected as one of Club Pilates Success Stories of 2019 so go check her out in their marketing campaign. Her southern accent is still strong but don’t let that charm fool you, she will make you burn!

  Anita Galacki

  Instructor

  Anita had been interested in various forms of exercise like spinning, yoga, and barre for a while, but was first introduced to Pilates when she started taking mat classes at a local gym. It wasn’t until she took her first reformer class at Club Pilates that she was hooked. It was love at first class! As life can get pretty hectic, Anita loves how Pilates acts as her stabilizing force. It gives her the ability to do other things she enjoys and makes it easier to move through daily life. Pilates enables her to stand taller, have a stronger core, and stay injury free. It also helped her understand the importance of breath work - if you can breathe, you can do just about anything! If you can’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of others. Anita wants the Club Pilates studio to be your happy place, as it is hers. Let it be a haven where you are able to take care of your body and mind, for 50 minutes, and therefore the rest of your day. Let Club Pilates change your life!
