SYDNEY R, Founder

Movement has always been part of my life, and as a competitive gymnast growing up and later a gymnastics coach, it shaped how I understand discipline, strength, and body awareness from an early age. But after those years, I found it challenging to stay consistently active as an adult. I explored nearly every workout style, yet nothing engages my body and mind the way Pilates does. After trying a reformer class on a whim, I knew I had found something different.

Later, when I fell in love with the Cadillac, everything deepened. It challenged my strength in a completely new way while also providing a level of support, control, and precision that transformed how I moved and connected to my body. I knew more people deserved to experience that. I started Rich Movement Pilates because of the positive impact it had on my life, both mentally and physically, and I built it with the intention of creating something that could truly change how people feel in their bodies and in their lives. It is a fun way to build strength, improve flexibility, increase endurance, deepen your mind-body connection, and move with more control and confidence.

My teaching style is athletic, intentional, and motivating. I love that Pilates trains both the mind and body, and my goal is for clients to leave every class feeling stronger and more grounded. I especially enjoy working with busy professionals who spend long hours behind a desk. I understand how valuable their time is, and I am passionate about making every minute in the studio count. Pilates helps them reconnect with their body, move with more intention, and step away from the physical and mental demands of their day so they can reset, refocus, and feel better overall. In my classes at Rich Movement Pilates, you can expect a welcoming environment, thoughtful progressions, intentional modifications, and challenges that meet you exactly where you are.

Outside the studio, staying inspired comes from trying new experiences, whether that is traveling to a new destination or stepping outside my comfort zone.

My journey to Pilates began after exploring many different workout styles, none of which truly resonated until I found Pilates. It was the first time I felt both physically challenged and deeply connected to how my body moves. Through Pilates, I developed a stronger mind-body connection and greater awareness of posture, alignment, and balance.

My teaching style is mindful, supportive, and encouraging. I love helping others enjoy movement while building confidence and body awareness. My goal is for clients to leave class feeling strong, balanced, and empowered in their everyday movement.

I especially love working with beginners and those new to Pilates. In my classes at Rich Movement Pilates, you can expect a welcoming, full-body experience with thoughtful guidance, room for curiosity, and space to grow at your own pace.

Pilates entered my life through curiosity and quickly became something transformative. After my first class, I committed to the practice for nearly a year before discovering instructor training, an experience that completely shifted how I understand movement. Learning how the body functions and moves with intention reshaped both my relationship with my body and the way I approach fitness.

My teaching style is thoughtful, balanced, and contemporary. I love helping clients move with awareness, build strength, and feel confident in their bodies. Seeing people show up for themselves and give back to their physical health is what inspires me most as an instructor.

I enjoy working with everyone from beginners to athletes, those recovering from injury, and anyone looking to move better in everyday life. In my classes at Rich Movement Pilates, you can expect full-body movement that honors Pilates’ classical roots while supporting modern lifestyles.

Outside the studio, I enjoy scrapbooking, getting lost in a good book, and spending time with my two cats, Frankie and Louie, and my family. They are my biggest supporters throughout my Pilates journey.

Pilates found me when I was looking for accessible ways to move my body in an environment that didn’t feel overwhelming. It met me exactly where I was and helped me rebuild trust in how my body moves. That experience continues to shape the way I teach and support others.

My teaching style is calm, informed, and steady. I love helping clients reconnect with their bodies, regain control, and build strength both physically and mentally. I’m especially drawn to working with people who value thoughtful movement and supportive guidance.

In my classes at Rich Movement Pilates, you can expect varied, full-body movement that builds awareness, confidence, and consistency, alongside a community that celebrates progress and growth.

OLIVIA O

My journey to Pilates began from a place I never expected. I grew up a competitive athlete, surrounded by boys and driven to prove myself on the basketball court. Pilates wasn’t even on my radar until years of injuries and chronic pain caught up with me. By my late twenties, I was living with daily neck, shoulder, and back pain and searching for relief.

After my first Pilates session, everything shifted. It was the first workout that left my body feeling better instead of worse. Pilates gave me my energy back, helped me heal, and brought me back to myself.

My teaching style is high-energy, athletic, and intentional. I teach classical reformer Pilates with a contemporary edge, focusing on purposeful movement and clear cueing so clients truly understand and feel the “why” behind each exercise.

I love working with clients navigating pain, injuries, or years of wear and tear. In my classes at Rich Movement Pilates, you can expect challenging, empowering sessions that leave you feeling stronger, more energized, and confident in your body again.

I’m happiest when I’m living an active lifestyle, and helping others do the same is what truly fulfills me. Pilates has shaped the way I move and teach by emphasizing strength, control, and precision in every movement.

My teaching style is controlled, focused, and grounded. I love sharing my expertise so members can feel confident in their bodies and proud of what they accomplish. After class, my goal is for clients to feel strong, capable, and energized both physically and mentally.

I especially enjoy working with athletic individuals who want to move smarter, build strength, and refine performance. In my classes at Rich Movement Pilates, you can expect purposeful progressions, clear cueing, and space to challenge yourself while honoring your body.

Outside the studio, traveling and exploring new places keeps me inspired and grounded.
