Tammy
IM=X® Pilates Certified Instructor
M=X® Certified Reformer and Mat Pilates Instructor, Certified Yoga Instructor Certified Personal Trainer Nutrition Coach Certified Health and Fitness Writer/ Educator From a very young age, Tammy has been fascinated by human movement. After graduating from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she worked in corporate America. Dis-satisfied in this space, she gave the job the boot and moved to the fitness capital of the world, Southern California to pursue a career in fitness. In college during the mid 90’s, she took her first Group Fitness certification on a dare. A friend recognized her fear of public-speaking and dared her to take a course involving teaching to large groups. She not only survived, but discovered a love of teaching. Years later, she became certified in Personal Training. Since then, she’s taught nearly every form of exercise. In the late 90’s her teaching approach shifted after two car accidents. Struggling with her own physical pain, she discovered a greater understanding of the human body. This process of self-rehab sparked a desire to help people improve their bodies on a deeper level. Yoga and Pilates became an integral part of rehab. This led to exploring various styles of yoga, and functional Pilates. Over the past 15 years, Tammy has pursued teacher training in many of these styles of both yoga and Pilates while focusing on alignment-base
Julie
IM=X® Pilates Certified Instructor
I’m from Charlotte, NC. I wear quite a few hats since I’m a mother of 2 girls, Bella (14) and Tori (11). I’m a GIRLS ON THE RUN coach, and I coach middle school cheerleading when I’m not working with kindergarteners at an after school program. I grew up taking dance classes until I graduated high school. When I started college I began majoring in dance, but quickly felt that wasn’t the path I was meant to be on and graduated from UNCC with a BA in Communications/ Journalism- mass media. Dance is still a love of mine! Another love of mine is long-distance running. I’ve run quite a few half marathons and marathons. But after having 2 children, and being in a serious car accident, I wasn’t able to move as well as I used to and I had a lot of back, sciatica and hip pain. Physical therapists tried to help me before and after surgery and I did make progress, but Pilates was the lifesaver I needed. The low impact work to stabilize core muscles and strengthen my back and hips gave me all the help I needed to make a full recovery. The amazing teachers and choreography in the Xerciser classes inspired me. It made me feel like I used to feel after leaving dance class and I’m able to run again. The world is full of back patients and folks who suffer from hip issues and I hope to help people rid themselves of these types of issues and bring them the same joy I’ve found at IMX. I want folks
