Our Team
Brenda Weyl
Brenda, along with her husband and fur-kids relocated to the Greenville area in 2018 after having lived most of her adult life in Atlanta. Prior to undertaking a career in Pilates, she served as an operations executive in the communications and healthcare industries while maintaining fitness through Pilates, yoga, strength training and frequent hiking. Her commitment to Pilates was born of a desire to continue to build physical strength and endurance despite joint issues and chronic muscle injuries. Her passion for Pilates took root after she left the corporate world and began to realize its significant rehabilitation capabilities and ability to promote spinal flexibility and full body movement. As she progressed, her passion deepened for bringing the many benefits of Pilates to individuals as well group fitness environments.
She was awarded a 500-hour Pilates instructor certification by Club Pilates and has consistently taught both private and group reformer and mat classes since. Brenda is also certified to teach Barre and enjoys bringing elements of this discipline to her Pilates flows. Her primary teaching goals are to inspire in others a commitment to Pilates-based breath and movement as primary vehicles for building life enhancing core strength, muscle flexibility and overall stability. She works to bring a sense of wonder and fun to each class she teaches.
While finishing her degree, Emma participated in a 200-hour internship with the Pilates Studio of Morgantown. She was instantly hooked and completed her first 500 hour comprehensive certification through Balanced Body in 2015. Her study of the Pilates system continued with a second 500 hour comprehensive certification through Peak Pilates in 2018. Soon after, she
studied pre & postnatal Pilates with Fusion Pilates in Asheville, NC. In 2023, she began a third comprehensive certification: classical Pilates progressions with Karen Frischmann. In addition to formal trainings, Emma regularly participates in continuing education workshops and private lessons.
Emma continues to practice, learn, teach, and specialize in Classical Pilates, a distinct style that aims to adhere as closely as possible to the exercises, sequences, and intentions of the system’s creator, Joseph Pilates. Her passion for the “classical” form of Pilates was forever cemented when, after suffering a debilitating back injury, she learned firsthand its restorative power. Joseph Pilates’ system of exercises allowed a safe, targeted, and methodical recovery.
Emma hopes to bring all of these benefits to her clients so that they become the strongest versions of themselves.
Rebecca began her personal Pilates journey 3 years ago, and it was love at first reformer session. She knew she wanted to become a practitioner and help others to feel wonderful in their bodies. Rebecca truly believes that every body can benefit from Pilates. She completed her Level 1 certification with Peak Pilates in June 2023. While she received an excellent foundation in classical Pilates, Rebecca enjoys adding in elements of contemporary Pilates. She believes any time spent working on one’s health is time well spent.
In her free time, Rebecca loves traveling with her husband, eating Mexican food and long walks through the aisles of Target. After living in Philadelphia for a few years, job opportunities have brought her family to Greenville and they could not be happier to be here!
Hannah Renee Trump
Hannah is a former ballet dancer whose love for Pilates blossomed from her passion of dance and her journey of healing through scoliosis. From her earliest memories, Hannah was captivated by the elegance and precision of ballet, where every movement became a form of self-expression. However, her path took an unexpected twist when scoliosis became a part of her story. Turning to Pilates as a means of finding strength and balance, Hannah discovered Pilates became a source of empowerment, aiding her in managing and overcoming the physical challenges presented by scoliosis.
Currently immersed in the process of completing her comprehensive Pilates training, Hannah is fueled by a passion to share the transformative benefits of Pilates with others. Hannah invites you to join her on the reformer, where the graceful elements of ballet meet the restorative aspects of Pilates, creating a space for confidence, strength, and a shared commitment to the joy of movement.
