Hope B
Instructor
Certified through Stott Pilates, Hope has been

effectiveness in staying strong and fit as one ages.
"Fitness is the key to youthfulness,
" she says.
Originally from Michigan, but now a tried-and-true
New Yorker, Hope brings her sense of humor to
every workout, but at the same time drives her
students hard.
"Fitness should be fun, yet though,
says Hope.
"My father was a soldier. I got the
tough part from him.
" Indeed, she says,
"Fitness
will make you fierce at any age!'
In addition to Pilates, hope is a certified Gyrotonic
instructor and enjoys TRX, swimming, horseback
riding, trampoline and kettlebells.
