Read what Lauren Stewart has to say about it here:

If you read Gayle's previous blog “Why I Love Pilates" you learned about the many facets of Pilates. You also found out why it has always been her favorite thing to teach and why she incorporates the exercises and philosophy into her personal training sessions with every client.

In this "Part Two" blog focusing on the Pilates Reformer, Gayle keeps the discussion going to explain what the Pilates Reformer is, the benefits of using it, how it compliments all other physical activity, how it is great for the mind-body connection, and why can be beneficial to everyone.

In this follow-up to my previous post, “Why I Love Pilates,” I dive into the world of the Pilates Reformer.

FIT Carrboro is expanding!

We are excited to announce that we have busted through the wall to combine our space with the old TABLE space next door to make a bigger and better FIT Carrboro this fall.

We will continue to offer expert one-of-a-kind personal training services for people of all ages and abilities, hiring a few new trainers, will service more youth and adult athletes in our new longer space, and hold more small group training and workshops.

And…Gayle is busy getting Pilates Reformer Certified! We will be offering small reformer classes of only 3 people, as well as duo and individual sessions with the area’s best instructors.

Stay tuned for updates as we create the home of the best fitness studio in the area.

Gabby aims to holistically guide her clients toward their fitness goals at a speed they can’t accomplish on their own. She believes that all people deserve to have the tools to take charge of their aspirations to live healthier and fuller lives.

Her love for personal training comes largely from playing competitive basketball and volleyball, and from her own journeys with body composition and managing sports injuries. She loves working with all ages and fitness levels, creating an environment that challenges her clients to be a little bit better every day. Sessions are fun, efficient, and immersive.

Gabby’s specialties include: strength training, endurance training, behavioral change, sports performance, weight management, and post-rehab.
