Malia S

Her Values

Malia began taking Megaformer classes in 2015 after searching for an intense workout that offered variety. A long-distance runner for ten years, Malia needed exercise that was no-impact. She loved that Pilates Blast and the megaformer provided the intensity and individual attention to help improve her form, strengthen her core and stay active with a busy schedule. The diverse activities offered was a definite bonus.

A children’s therapist by day, Malia wants all her clients, young and old to be well both mentally and physically and becoming a fitness instructor is simply an extension of this wish for others. Expect Malia’s classes to be tough but inclusive. We were all beginners at one time!
