Meet Your Master Trainer!
Valerie Snowdon
Valerie fell in love with Pilates a few years ago after being diagnosed with stage 4
Endometriosis. While awaiting surgery, Dr. Leonardi at McMaster Hospital recommended Pilates
to help strengthen her pelvic floor and manage the pain associated with the disease. The benefits
were immediate, and Pilates quickly became an essential part of her lifestyle—supporting not
only her physical health but also helping her become the best version of herself.
Though her diagnosis brought unexpected challenges, Valerie is grateful that it ultimately led her
to a deeply fulfilling career. She finds immense joy in seeing clients grow stronger, improve their
flexibility, and enhance their overall mobility. As she often says, “Our bodies are our homes for
life, and it’s vital that we care for and nourish them.”
After completing the 500-Hour Comprehensive Pilates Training at Club Pilates Waterloo, Valerie
became the lead instructor across five Ontario locations: Waterloo, Glen Abbey, South Oakville,
North Burlington, and North Waterloo. She is passionate about working with students in the
Teacher Training program, guiding them one-on-one to build confidence, develop their teaching
skills, and create a strong foundation of knowledge. Her focus is on helping future instructors
feel equipped to offer modifications, progressions, and personalized support to meet the needs of
every client.
Valerie is incredibly honoured to be apart of the Master Training team and play a role in shaping
the next generation of instructors. She describes it as one of the most rewarding roles she’s ever
had.
