Nancy Brown
Instructor
After giving birth to her third child in Atlanta in 2000, Nancy was looking for a new workout and quickly found what she was looking for with Pilates. It took only one class for her to get her Pilates fix as it felt so nurturing and healing. She shifted from her background as a Personal Trainer and Aerobics Teacher to focus on low impact workouts. While living in Nashville, Nancy was introduced to Lotte Berk Method of Barre and Pilates and Barre became Nancy’s true love.
Several years later, she moved back to her hometown of Columbus and pursued her first Pilates certification via PhysicalMind Institute of NYC. Shortly after that, she earned Barre certifications in BarreAmped Levels 1-3, Bootcamp and Fire. She continued her Pilates training under Tracey Mallett and obtained her Core Fusion Level 1-3 in NYC from Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp.
In 2012, Nancy opened and operated a boutique Barre studio in German Village until 2018 when she closed it to move to the island of Bermuda. Returning to Columbus before the pandemic, Nancy sustained a leg injury which got her back to Pilates. After recovering, Nancy obtained her comprehensive Pilates certification, 600 hours of training, through Power Pilates. Nancy is known for her fun playlists, energetic classes, encouragement, cueing and corrections and client results. Her favorite saying is, “You are only one teaser away from a good mood.”
Nancy is the mother of three grown children and a grandmother “Gigi” of two darling grandsons. She uses her free time for travel to visit family and friends or out and about with Joie, her Miniature Dachshund.
