A few years ago my hip labrum tore in a car accident and doing something like this was out of sight! With surgery overall it took a year to recover from the injury.
That’s when I got into Pilates. I tried it and immediately felt stretched, stronger, and gained more endurance. Through consistency it helped correct my muscular imbalances and prevent overcompensating my stronger side.
I grew to love it because it actually felt like wellness. It was a mental workout just as much as physical. I felt and saw results. Through concentration, breath work, and controlled movement I built overall strength in all the places I never really focused on & gained more flexibility.
My current body is grateful I gave it a try. Thank God for discipline.

I fell in love with Pilates because honestly, it’s the most efficient. I didn’t need to already be in shape. I didn’t have to jump around to burn calories or lift weights to start seeing results. And I grew at my own pace.
There’s no other system like Classical Pilates… yes, the one from the 1900s lol. The way it focuses on spinal alignment & core stability improves how our body moves overall and injury prevention. It’s not as trendy, but it’s the blueprint.

Allow me to reintroduce myself for those of you new here. Heyyy! 🥰
I’m Paris, a certified Pilates instructor based in Chicago. I’ve practiced Pilates for 4 years starting from Los Angeles. I earned my certification after completing a 500-Hour Comprehensive Training in all Pilates apparatus including Reformer, Mat, Cadillac/Tower, Chair, Ladder Barrels, Pedipull & Wall. 🥇
I specialize in Classical Pilates, the original Joseph Pilates method, focused on stretching & strengthening at the same time.
Right now, I focus on private sessions, no weekly group classes. As I build my clientele it’s important to me for our first encounter to be a great one. Privates ensure you understand the foundational movements at any level; then we can move into group fitness.

I was at my heaviest, 188lbs. I couldn’t believe I was that big 😭 I couldn’t believe I didn’t see myself gaining that much weight until it got there from 125. When I saw the scale I made a decision; There was no way I was about to become 190lbs. Swipe to see how I dropped 50lbs in one year 100% naturally, intentionally. #Pilates is how I maintain(ed) my results over the last 4 years.
