Our Team







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.
Chandler Williams
Chandler immediately fell in love with pilates after taking her first class in 2022. The welcoming approach that invites every body to the mat opened Chandler’s eyes to the opportunities of improving one’s body and mind. With a background in exercise sport science and physical therapy, Chandler has a passion for coaching clients who are working to regain strength and mobility following an injury or those searching for a new regimented exercise plan. Chandler underwent her 500-hour comprehensive training from Club Pilates in 2023 and is excited to expand her teaching practice here at C.O.R.E.! Recently re-locating from Georgia, Chandler enjoys spending time with her family and exploring Greenville which she now calls home.

Carrie Hoskins
I began my Pilates journey 22 years ago. I thought I was attending a yoga class and accidentally stepped into my first Pilates experience. I had ACL reconstruction several years prior from a soccer injury and had extreme lower back pain due to gymnastics and cheerleading. I was limited in what exercises I could do. I was going to the chiropractor twice a week to relieve my back pain. Fortunately, I found that the Pilates class did not bother my knee or back, in fact it made me feel better! I added Pilates to my workout regiment of yoga and walking. I found that the more I did Pilates, the less my back hurt and the less I needed to go to the chiropractor. I began to feel longer, taller & stronger. I no longer had to lay in bed at night with tears from the lower back pain!
I grew up in Greenville and attended Presbyterian College. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I taught for several years and my husband, Chris, and I started our family and opened a business. I was raising my boys, Christopher Jr and Hollis and doing the bookkeeping for the business, but found that I missed teaching. The more I took Pilates, the more I realized and felt the purpose of it. From this passion, I wanted to use my teaching skills and pass on my knowledge and benefits of Pilates to others. I became certified through Balance Body and started teaching 15 years ago. I am certified in all of the modules, including Anatomy, Mat, Reformer, Cadillac/ Tower, Chair and Barrel. I love learning and exploring more and more about Pilates each year. It has so many amazing benefits such as: improves posture, strengthens your core, increases mobility & flexibility, decrease lower back pain, improves balance, bolsters bone density, manages stress, supports healthy weight, increases energy, increases muscle strength & tone and the list goes on!! I love working with individuals and helping them to achieve their personal fitness goals. I would love the opportunity to work with you!
Kristen Rubino
“Kristen was born in New York, raised in Florida, and lived in Orlando for 24 years as a theme park performer. She and her husband, Michael, were commuting to Atlanta for work in the TV/Film industry. When they decided to make the leap of faith and move, Kristen decided to get certified in Classical Pilates as a means of supplementing income. She fell in love with the modality and how it made her body feel. On a whim, Kristen and Michael came to Greenville and instantly knew this was where the family belonged. They decided to pack up their daughter, Willow, and 2 dogs, make another leap of faith, and head to Greenville. In the past 7 years, Kristen has enjoyed working at studios all over Atlanta, building relationships with clients of all ages. She has added contemporary pilates to her resume, a certification in Health Coaching, and is currently working on being certified in Pilates for Menopause. If you don’t happen to catch her on the reformer then there’s a chance you might see her on your TV!”
Kerry Sinclair
Kerry began taking Pilates mat classes while studying dance in New York City. She quickly discovered that, in addition to enhancing her athletic performance, Pilates also alleviated the chronic pain in her legs and back, later diagnosed as Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). As a young adult looking for a career outside of dance, Kerry became a Pilates instructor. In 2003, she entered the Power Pilates Comprehensive training program and learned from Master Pilates teacher Bob Liekens. Kerry earned her teaching certificate in 2004 and spent over ten years as an instructor in New York City, working at renowned studios and studying alongside master teachers such as Alycea Ungaro, Brooke Siler, Kathy Grant, Jay Grimes, and Cary Regan. What began as a decision to be a Pilates instructor evolved into a diverse career path. Kerry is also a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, yoga teacher, and Thai massage therapist. In 2021, she relocated to Southern California and resumed teaching at ARA Movement in Indian Wells, gaining experience working individually with the 55+ community, including many golf and tennis players. Kerry later took a position as a studio manager for Club Pilates and moved to Los Angeles for a year before ultimately returning to the East Coast. Looking ahead to 2025, Kerry is teaching Pilates and building a wellness marketing company called bodEQ Solutions. When not in the studio or affixed to her computer, she is usually at the dog park with her pups.
