Shelby Peters

Shelby’s journey with fitness started early at age 4 when she begged her mom to join a competitive swimming team. Growing up as an athlete led her to develop a deep appreciation for body awareness and the importance of injury prevention. After a 15 year aquatic career, she explored a variety of fitness modalities, seeking forms of exercise that felt empowering rather than punishing.  In 2013, Shelby was introduced to mat Pilates by a life-changing personal trainer. She began to fall in love with the functional strength, balance, and clarity Pilates offered—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. 10 years later, Shelby left her HR tech job to start a new career teaching Pilates full-time. Shelby holds dual certifications in classical and contemporary Pilates from Better Day Pilates and Mighty Pilates. Shelby’s teaching style is calm, attentive, and welcoming. She places a strong emphasis on injury prevention, body awareness, long-term mobility, and joy! Whether working with beginners, athletes, or clients recovering from injury, Shelby believes in tailoring sessions to meet individuals where they’re at and building confident strength from the inside out. She believes movement should feel accessible, empowering, and - most importantly - fun. Outside the studio, you’ll most likely find Shelby with her husband and pup Milo at the lake, making pottery, thrifting, or enjoying almost any genre of live music.
