Our Teachers

It is important to have a great team in place to offer the best service within a Pilates studio. That is one of the hallmarks of Evolution Pilates. Our team of instructors is exceptional, well-trained and long tenured. We have had very little turnover since we opened our doors, which creates a human connection with our clients that is second to none. Here is a little more information about our wonderful staff that makes the magic happen!

Mo

Founder of Evolution Pilates in 2003, Mo has been practicing since 1998. She is classically trained, and certified through Power Pilates and Polestar Pilates. She is also certified through TRX and NASM, and is a health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Lastly, she is a member of the Physical Mind Institute and Pilates Method Alliance, and a lifelong learner dedicated to maintaining a high standard of Pilates instruction in her studio. Her passion for Pilates is felt by everyone she trains.

Ania

In 2008, Ania had gotten her first taste of Pilates, and was hooked ever since! Growing up, she was an avid fitness and exercise enthusiast, which is what led her down the path of more advanced techniques. And this is where the inspiration to pursue a new career was born. Through some key networking and hard work, she was introduced to the highly respected regional director of Power Pilates, Juliet Harvey, and later received her Comprehensive Certification in 2011. Fast forward to today and you can coin Ania’s enthusiasm both contagious and inspiring!

Randi

Client turned Pilates instructor, Randi earned her certification in 2007 at Power Pilates in New York City, and has taught here ever since. She has also taught a Beginner Mat class through the Port Washington School District Continuing Ed program, and at other local gyms and studios. Randi stays current with her Pilates education by attending Continuing Education workshops and conferences throughout the country.

She has run a 2hr and 49-minute marathon and a 1 hour 18-minute half marathon. Theresa continues to train competitively as a runner and truly believes it is her practice of Pilates that keeps her body and mind healthy and strong. She strives to share her passion for Pilates and physical fitness with her clients.

Ilyssa

Ilyssa has been a lover of Pilates for over 20 years. She ultimately decided being a client wasn’t enough and she wanted to learn more. Formally a Speech and Language Pathologist, Ilyssa took her love of teaching and brought it to the Pilates studio. She received her classical certification from Real Pilates in 2023 and has been teaching at Evolution Pilates ever since.
