Karli
Certified Instructor
Karli started her Pilates journey in the late 1990s. A competitive athlete through college, Karli turned to group exercise instruction after graduation. She holds a Group Fitness Instructor Certification from the American Council on Exercise (ACE), along with various specialty group fitness instructor certifications. However, she recognized that an integral component was missing from her fitness repertoire. Seeking a more balanced workout regimen and wanting lifetime, total wellbeing, Karli began studying Pilates. She loved the dynamic movement of Pilates and the control, focus and strength it offered to her clients and to her own personal workouts. In 2000, while operating her own private fitness studio in a suburb of Cleveland, Karli completed her comprehensive Pilates mat training from Core Dynamics. She continued her Pilates machine training, receiving her Universal Reformer, Table and Trapeze certification from Body Technic Systems in 2008 and her Pilates Chair Training from Club Pilates in 2023. Karli taught Pilates mat and machine at Lifestyles Cleveland Clinic Akron General until her relocation to Charlotte in 2022. She is a member of the Pilates Method Alliance. Always a student of Pilates, Karli blends her classical training with a contemporary approach which makes her classes unique, fun and productive. Karli is passionate about creating a supportive environment for all fitness levels and helping clients build confidence and strength through mindful movement.
