{"bio":"As a young girl, I loved all kinds of dance. When I became a teenager, I asked my parents if I could join a gym. They encouraged me to work there; That was 1984. In the years since, I have taught many kinds of fitness classes in a variety of cities and countries. I moved to Pittsburgh in 2004 and in 2010 I took Pilates training as a part of my continuing education: I fell in love with it! I have been an ACE certified fitness instructor since 1989 and a National Pilates Certified Instructor since 2016. I am so excited to be a part of the Club Pilates staff and look forward to meeting you in class!","clubready_id":"58817155","headshot":{"url":"https://a.mktgcdn.com/p/xCGJOTfycpmpGlesifez9RVe43m49Dwwwt8xKuQYEos/1400x1665.jpg","altText":"","type":"image"},"hero":{"altText":"","type":"image"},"hs_child_table_id":0,"hs_created_at":1648107092362,"hs_deleted_at":0,"hs_id":69333298291,"hs_initial_published_at":1732208961440,"hs_is_edited":false,"hs_name":"Michelle Kaplan","hs_path":"shadyside-clubpilates-shadyside-pa-michelle","hs_published_at":1732347149287,"hs_updated_at":1672213826925,"hs_updated_by_user_id":9702202,"is_external":0,"locations":[{"id":23699024723,"isPublished":true,"name":"Shadyside","type":"foreignid"}],"name":"Michelle Kaplan","seq":4,"show_bio":1,"site_slug":"clubpilates-shadyside-pa-michelle","slug":"clubpilates-shadyside-pa-michelle","title":"Pilates Instructor","yext_id":"4938332382050805699"}
