Jody Goodwin
Instructor
I was born and raised in New Zealand.
My Grandmother was one of New Zealand's top Ballet Teachers, I therefore learnt Ballet from a very young age until 13 years old, when I decided to stop dancing and focus on Equestrian. I competed in Equestrian most of my life up until my second son was born.
I have always loved sports and moving my body, something my husband and I have supported and encouraged with our two sons. Growing up in New Zealand I was fortunate enough to be exposed to all things sporty on land, sea and ocean competing at national level in various sporting activities.
I started as a client in a small private Pilates Studio in Auckland, New Zealand, I'd had minor back issues from sitting during my Software Development career of 30 years. Pilates kept me out of the Chiropractor's office.
I moved to the United States in 2019, a kiwi friend and fellow Club Pilates client invited me to work out at the studio. A few weeks later I joined the Teacher Training program and was certified Through Club Pilates in 2020. I now have over 1000 hours in teaching.
I am passionate about the Practice of Pilates and the many benefits to one's body and mind. I am very fortunate to be part of the Club Pilates family, to teach and share my continued knowledge of Pilates to the many amazing clients that come into the Studio. It gives me such joy to see clients grow, achieve what they thought was impossible, repair and gain confidence in themselves, mentally and physically. Pilates truly is a game changer.
