Lisa Priebe, PMA-CPT
Lisa earned her bachelors degree in Exercise Science from Temple University and has worked in fitness and wellness since the late 80’s. She began her interest and study in Pilates in 2000. After training for the Boston Marathon in 2002, which left her plagued with injury, Lisa began to seek a greater knowledge of the work not only for her own body but for others as well. She entered the Fletcher program and completed all levels to become a Qualified Teacher. She has also completed all requirements to be a certified PMA teacher. Most recently Lisa has been promoted with the Fletcher Company to program facilitator.
Lisa is the owner of two Pilates studios – Lisa P. Pilates – in Wyomissing, PA and the newest location at everybody Pilates equipped with all the necessary Pilates equipment. She offers classes and private instruction at both locations.
Krista McCarthy
Krista took her 1st Pilates class in 2003. By her second lesson, she knew that not only did she love this for herself, but wanted to teach it to others. She had a long journey ahead of her. Krista took many lessons for the next 2 years, working as a receptionist at a small Delaware Pilates Studio. In 2005 she started her training in “The Classical Method” through the nationally recognized teacher training program at Body Precision in Rosemont PA and earned her certification in 2007.
It was when she began the Fletcher work that Pilates really started to “make sense” to Krista, and she felt it took her Pilates work to the next level. She loved all the detail and movement that Ron had in his work. It was the “missing link” that she had been searching for.
Krista completed the Comprehensive Licensing course with Fletcher Pilates in January 2010, and is fully certified and recognized as a Qualified National Teacher.
Ilene McKinney
Ilene comes to us from a career as a School Psychologist; having earned her bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and her doctorate from Bryn Mawr College. She experienced acute lower back and hip pain in 2004 which prevented her from playing tennis or engaging in any physical activity. She discovered Pilates with a Fletcher teacher in 2006 and knew within six months that she would likely pursue a second career as a Pilates teacher herself. She credits the Fletcher work with having saved her life as the work relieved her of her pain, allowed her to return to tennis, and even soothed her day to day stress. She completed the Fletcher Comprehensive Program of Study in July 2011 and is a recognized Qualified Fletcher Pilates Teacher.
