Christina Goodwin,
Certified Pilates Instructor
Christina took her first Pilates reformer class in 2009 and fell in love with Pilates training. As a Registered Nurse in hospital operating rooms for 23 years, she quickly realized that Pilates helped her make it through long grueling shifts and alleviate stress after a long day on her feet. Under the tutelage of Cynthia Weeks and Jodi Calkins, Christina began her Pilates instructional certification journey traveling to Maui Pilates Studio, Align Pilates in Austin, Texas and the University of Utah. She completed her Pilates instructional certification in 2023 and now wants to help others discover the benefits of Pilates in their life. Christina hopes to help others fall in love with Pilates like she had many years ago.
Christina fell in love with exercise at a young age as her parents were always very active as she was growing up. She started working out as a teenager and tried various forms of exercise including aerobics, Taekwondo, spinning and TRX suspension training. In 2002 Christina successfully reached the rank of '1st Dan Black Belt' issued by Grand Master Jong Uhl Kim for the United States Taekwondo Union. Christina is married and a proud mother to her two daughters.
We are excited to have Christina onboard as you will find that her dynamic personality is infectious. You will laugh, be challenged, and feel nurtured simultaneously.
