Meet Monica Chin — Pilates Trainer, Motivator & Firm Believer in “One More… Because YOU CAN!”
For Monica, Pilates isn’t just a workout—it’s something that completely transformed her body, confidence, mobility, and mindset.
After experiencing those changes herself, Monica knew she wanted to help others discover what Pilates could do for them, too. Today, one of her greatest joys as an instructor is watching members surprise themselves.
• Finally accomplishing a move they’ve been working toward
• Discovering strength they didn’t know they had
• Improving mobility and movement
• Building confidence both inside and outside the studio
• Walking in excited to share how Pilates has changed their lives
Her favorite exercise? Supine Arms! Monica calls it the “little black dress of Pilates”—there are endless ways to change it up, add resistance, and make it more challenging. So if you’re in Monica’s class, fair warning: you’re probably doing supine arms. 😂
And Pilates doesn’t stop when Monica leaves the studio. Whether she’s grocery shopping, traveling with her husband and son, or just going about her day, there’s a good chance she’s mentally choreographing her next class.
Her journey to becoming an instructor wasn’t exactly traditional. From cosmetology to motherhood, property management, real estate, and eventually Pilates, Monica has never been afraid of a new chapter. Amazingly, before she had ever even taken a Pilates class, she had a feeling that someday in her 40's she would teach it.
Turns out, she was right!
Now Monica gets to share her passion while reminding others of the lesson Pilates taught her:
You are capable of more than you think AND...
Sometimes you just need someone beside you saying “One more… because YOU CAN!”
