Carla M – Pilates Blast

Carla M

What Carla brings

Graduate school drove Victoria to begin Pilates as a stress reliever and her curious and competitive spirit inspired her to embark on this “passion project” after being introduced to Lagree Fitness in 2013.

She shares the commitment, self-determination and discipline she gained through her life-long athletic training with all of her clients. Each class is thoughtfully crafted and focuses on slow, precise movements and fast transitions alongside some killer beats.

She believes the “mind/body connection” is paramount and attaches meaning to each movement. She loves helping others transform their bodies and promises each extra long hold will be well worth it in the long run.
