OUR INSTRUCTORS

Body central is dedicated to the health of each client, and provides the highest quality of instruction by certified trainers. All of our instructors have been trained by Romana and/or the teacher trainers under her direct guidance. Each instructor has successfully completed a rigorous 600 hour apprenticeship in which they have learned to modify the exercises to fit any body type, condition, and injury. All instructors are required to continue their education through professional workshops and seminars each year. Body central is proud to be one of few Pilates studios in Atlanta that offers workshops and seminars for certified instructors, and the only fully equipped Pilates studio in Buckhead. It is our mission to continue the teachings of Romana and preserve the method to it’s purest form, the way Joseph Pilates intended it.
