Katie Shaver

Certified Pilates Instructor
I have been into fitness for most of my life, lifting, running, and many of the newest fitness trends through the years. I discovered Pilates while attending college at Miami University and immediately fell in love with it. In 2007 I received my certification through Pendleton Pilates in Cincinnati and have been instructing ever since. I have received training from Pilates pros such as Lolita San Miguel, Jullian Littleford, Mary Ann Briggs and Leslee Bender. I love the benefits that Pilates provides to a wide variety of clients, whether it’s an athlete looking to build strength and mobility, individuals exploring exercise for the first time, a new mom looking to rebuild her core strength, or someone looking to supplement their current exercise program. I have experienced the personal benefits of Pilates in my running as it’s enabled me to avoid injury and improve my speed. I practiced the method through all three of my pregnancies and experienced very quick recovery. My clients include cyclists, runners, golfers, equestrians, dancers, and those recovering from a variety of injuries and surgeries including spine, knee and shoulder. An individual’s quality of life is enhanced when his or her core muscles are strong and used correctly, when the spine is in alignment, and he or she has flexibility and body awareness. Pilates does all of this. When I’m not teaching I’m serving on the worship team at my church, volunteering at my kids’ school and spending time with my husband Jeff and kids, Raelyn, Nora, and Lewie.
