Donna V., IM=X Pilates Certified Trainer
Donna spent many happy years in a dance studio. Ballet, tap and jazz were part of the love of dance but, oddly enough her main focus was dancing Hawiian and Tahition. At the age of 20, she decided to join the fitness world. “The greatest place on earth”. She went onto achieve many certifications: IM=X Pilates, Phi Pilates, AFAA, AAAI, Kick Boxing, Yoga, Body Training Systems, Les Mills. Teaching and training clients to feel good about themselves from the inside out was her goal. From there she went into managing health clubs where, yet again, a whole new world opened up. There are no limitations for Donna. Continuously striving to excel is her motto. Donna’s friendly, enthusiastic attitude shines through the minute she walks into class. Her down to earth personality allows clients to feel at ease. An instructor needs to know the many needs of every client. Donna knows how to address those needs and, as always, safety is first.

Daryl R., IM=X Pilates Certified Trainer
Daryl began studying classical ballet and tap at the age of five and continued through highschool. While in college, she studied Hatha Yoga and continues her practice today. In her early twenties, she studied the Royal Academy Method of classical ballet with a dance master from the Academy. She also studied jazz and modern dance. During her thirties, Daryl became very involved in running and joined the Jersey Shore Running Club. After entering their six month competitive training program, she ran her first marathon. Daryl has spent years running marathons, half-marathons, and competitive races. For eight years, she worked with a personal trainer, nutritionist, and running coach, as well as adhering to the running schedule at the Jersey Shore Running Club. Daryl began biking and spinning, and eventually became a Certified Spin instructor. She began taking floor pilates classes several times a week to help her with her running. A few years ago, Daryl enrolled in a year long Yoga program and became a Hatha Yoga instructor. In addition, she has taken instruction with Barron Baptiste, Rodney Yee, Darma Mittra, David Swenson, and Shiva Rea. Shortly after becoming a Yoga instructor, Daryl enrolled in the IM=X Pilates course of study and became certified in June 2007. Daryl feels that IM=X Pilates has greatly improved the quality of her life, along with correcting some spinal imbalances, sciatica, and hip problems that she was experiencing from years of heavy running. She’s happy to be pain free today and feeling much more physically balanced.
