Our Pilates Instructors

Karly is a licensed physical therapist and has been teaching Pilates since 2005.

During COVID-19 pandemic, when Free Movement Pilates was shutdown for 4 months, Karly took the opportunity to brand her teaching approach to Pilates, and  Fit4Function™ Pilates Teacher Training program was born.  Free Movement Pilates will launch its first teacher training program in spring 2023.  Fit4Function™ Pilates blends both classical and contemporary teaching methods with mobility and strength exercises inspired by current research in movement efficiency, with a focus on restoring modern day biomechanics, core efficiency  and  fundamental movement patterns back into the body through Joseph Pilates's system of exercises. . 

Karly, a Bethlehem Central graduate, relocated back to Delmar to be closer to family and friends.  Karly hopes to encourage people in Delmar with chronic pain or fear of exercise and Pilates to come out of the woodwork, and allow themselves to benefit from transforming their bodies with Pilates.  Once an active member of the triathlon community, triathlons have been put on hold while she focuses on raising her  2 daughters, Mia (3) and Olivia (6) with her husband, Marc.
