Chablis brings a lifetime of movement, leadership, and passion for fitness to Method Health Club. She grew up in Utah, where she trained and competed in both gymnastics and dance, building the strong technical foundation that continues to influence her coaching style today.

Her love for teaching began early—she started instructing dance classes at just 14 years old and later went on to coach a nationally award-winning high school dance team in Utah. Her ability to inspire, mentor, and develop athletes quickly became one of her greatest strengths.

Over the years, her family lived around the world, and with each move she expanded her expertise in the fitness industry. She became certified in step aerobics and Zumba, and while living in Alaska, and while in Australia she earned her Pilates certification through Studio Pilates and her personal training certification through the Australian Institute of Fitness with a focus on Pre and Postnatal training and rehabilitation. She has recently continued her professional development by pursuing comprehensive Pilates certification through Balanced Body.

Today, Chablis serves as the Group Fitness Director and Pilates Director at Method Health Club. She is passionate about creating empowering, results-driven programs that help members feel strong, confident, and capable at every stage of life, including working with the Special Olympics program and community.

Outside the gym, Chablis enjoys hiking, reading, baking, dancing, and strength training. Above all, she values time with her four children and believes that movement is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our families.

Christine discovered Pilates in 1999 . What began as a few mat classes quickly evolved into a deeper practice with equipment. She was drawn to how Pilates challenged both body and mind in a way unlike any other form of exercise she had tried.

Over the years, Christine has maintained a consistent practice, appreciating the adaptability of Pilates to meet the body’s needs—whether feeling strong, tired, or recovering from injury. As she has grown in her practice, Pilates has continued to evolve with her.

In 2018, Christine earned her Comprehensive Peak Pilates certification .

Kim has enjoyed exercise and active movement throughout her life. She has previous experience teaching group exercise classes both in the gym as well as in the pool. Kim has spent many years teaching and volunteering with youth and adults. During her time working at a physical therapy office, Kim began taking Pilates classes and decided she wanted to understand more about this particular form of exercise and the precise movement it requires. She is an ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified group fitness instructor and holds a BASI (Body Arts and Science International) Comprehensive Pilates Certification.

As someone who considers herself a life-long learner, Kim loves that Pilates is movement that can continue throughout life! Each Pilates class is an opportunity to understand the biomechanics that allow bodies to move and to challenge improving movement. I love the quote by Joseph Pilates, “Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things.”

Kristen has been married 27 years and has 3 beautiful daughters. After leaving the field of architecture in 2007 she had the privilege of staying at home to raise her family for 15 years. IN 2021 Kristen re-entered the workforce as an Interior Construction Project Manager for a Miller-Knoll furniture dealership. She currenlty teaches Pilates part-time to stay in touch with the movement. She also loves traveling and spending time outdoors with her dogs and family.
