Gail Hebbes is a Stott Pilates certified Mat and Reformer instructor with over 8 years teaching experience. Her own personal journey with Pilates has been one of personal recovery and rehabilitation. Suffering from back and neck pain, Gail was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the spine. In an effort to find a natural - and effective - means of regaining her strength and flexibility, Gail stumbled upon a Pilates class and has been a devout student of Pilates ever since. Not only has Pilates restored her quality of life, it has provided her with a new level of health, fitness and wellbeing. Inspired to help others discover the many benefits of improved strength and flexibility that she, herself, experienced, Gail switched from an administrative background to become a full-time Pilates instructor.

Gail continues her education with regular training programs and workshops with Stott Pilates, as well as other professionals, to incorporate various large and small equipment tools, such as reformers, stability balls, bosu balls, foam rollers, flex bands, fitness circles, and toning balls, into her group, semi-private and private sessions. This allows for constant challenge and variety as the client progresses at their own rate. Working one on one with clients that are recovering from injuries is of keen interest to Gail and motivates her to continually expand her knowledge of this special population. Gail may see clients in her home studio, or if needed will travel to a client’s home, and provides a home program that is carefully supervised to ensure the exercises are completed correctly and safely to the client’s ability. She has seen incredible improvement in overall wellbeing and health in her clients. The greatest compliment to Gail is hearing the “Ahhhhhhhhhh” from her client at the end of their session!
