Debra

Club Pilates Instructor
Debra ("deBRA") Corcoran hails from New York, where she took her first mat Pilates class in 1991 at NYU. She moved to San Diego in 2002, where she met her husband & found her passion for Pilates on the Reformer. They moved to Gilbert in 2017, where Debra was excited to join the Club Pilates that opened up near their house. Debra became a Certified Pilates Instructor through Club Pilates in 2021 and then achieved Fletcher Pilates Intensive certification in 2023. While she takes the Pilates form seriously, Debra creates a fun atmosphere in the studio, playing music to motivate members and using humor to help everyone feel comfortable. (Fun fact: Debra was an actress as a youngster, which is often evident in class as she enjoys entertaining folks.) She loves Pilates because it is truly for everyBODY and is a mindful exercise. Debra’s favorite class is Cardio Sculpt, because you can get a cardio workout while lying down! She truly enjoys engaging with members to help them on their individual fitness journey. Debra’s best days teaching are when a member has an “Aha” moment as they discover the mind-body connection in their Pilates practice.
