About Sarah
Sarah is a third generation teacher and devotee of the Classical Pilates method of movement. She discovered her passion for Pilates in her early twenties, when she found that after just one Pilates session, she felt stronger, leaner and more energized than she ever had with other forms of exercise. This one session changed her life and so she followed her heart and opened the first and only full-service Classical Pilates studio, Pilates on 8th, in the small town community she adored so much.
Initially, Sarah completed over 600 hours of extensive training in the Classical Pilates method at Urban Front Pilates, a Power Pilates regional training center in Philadelphia, PA. Upon completion of that program, and with a desire to further deepen her knowledge of the work, she was proudly accepted into the Real Pilates teacher training program. Under the direction of Alycea Ungaro, second generation teacher and Classical Pilates method pioneer, Sarah studied the original system, as handed down, by Joseph Pilates.
Today, she continues to immerse herself in all things Pilates and is continually attending movement based workshops in addition to taking weekly lessons and classes with some of the industries most sought after teachers. Sarah is also proud to be a brand ambassador for the world’s #1 source for online Classical Pilates workouts, Pilatesology.
Regardless of fitness level, age or injury, she aspires to showcase that Pilates isn’t just for any body, it is for EVERY body. Her dedication and commitment to Pilates can be felt in every session she teaches. When she isn’t in the studio with her hard working clients and trainees, she can be found spending time with her husband, Curt, and their “fur kids,” and traveling and exploring the world of health and fitness.
