Meet Your Personal Pilates Instructor

My name is Michaela Klimek. I have a strong passion for anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, dance and movement. I believe that movement is medicine. These passions combined led me to become a 500 hour fully comprehensive certified Pilates instructor.

I grew up in the Suburbs of Chicago where I devoted my life to dancing. I became a professional performer and dancer at a very young age, and this passion for movement carried me into adulthood. I moved to Tampa in 2012 where I earned my BS in Allied Health with a concentration in physical therapy sciences. I continued to dance professionally, and cheered in the NFL for five wonderful seasons where I was a team captain for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders. In 2018, I decided to pursue my Pilates certification, and I haven’t looked back since.

Pilates combines functional movement with choreography, while maintaining poise and strength. Pilates is ideal for every body, and I feel strongly about connecting the world of fitness and functional movement to make you feel and move better in your day to day life. In a world that is constantly trying to fold us forward between texting, typing, driving, and feeding babies, I like to focus on strengthening the core and the posterior chain to counteract everything that lies in front of us. As a new Mom, this is so important to me, and I love spreading my love and knowledge for Pilates even more than before. My goal is to have you leave your Pilates session feeling better than when you walked in. Movement is a privilege, and we should thank and embrace our bodies for all they do for us no matter what stage of life we are in.

When I’m not teaching Pilates, you can find me making floral arrangements and embracing my new title as “Mama” to my sweet baby boy.
