Star Pilates

Anita first discovered the Pilates method as a Star Pilates client in 2010. She found that Pilates helped to maintain her overall physical health and rejuvenate her mind, which complemented her busy career in Information Technology. What she loves about Pilates is the balance of Stretch, Strength and Control, and that the method was designed to teach the body to move harmoniously and instinctively, as nature intended.

While living in Florida, she entered the Romana’s Pilates certification program, and studied directly under master Instructors Daria Pace and Sari Meji Santo, granddaughter and daughter to Joseph Pilates’ protégé, Romana Kryzanowska. Anita finished her Certification Program in 2018 and taught at a classical Pilates studio in Miami. Anita has returned to Philadelphia and is very excited to share her passion for Pilates and all of the many benefits that the classical Pilates method has to offer.

Margy became interested in Pilates in 2012 and attends the studio as a client. She has personally used Pilates to successfully rehab several major injuries and is the studio’s biggest fan! This led to her joining the Star team as the Operations Coordinator. Scheduling, office support, MINDBODY and behind the scenes tasks that help keep the studio running smoothly are her main focuses. Margy is available to help clients set up sessions, switch times and execute cancellations when needed. She is available via her studio email address [email protected] and prides herself on getting back to clients and staff quickly.

For 25 years, Margy worked as an early childhood trainer and administrator. She also worked with the Client Services department and wrote curriculum for a global early education company. Additionally, she served as a liaison to the City of Philadelphia for a program serving homeless children in the city. She is a living organ donor and actively supports Gift of Life in Philadelphia. Margy lives in Center City with her husband, Glen.
