ABOUT LAUREN
Hi! I’m Lauren and anyone who knows me, knows I crave a great workout. My passion for fitness started in 2018 when I explored every workout class NYC had to offer. When I finally found Pilates, it quickly became my go-to. It was the first workout that consistently challenged me and delivered the long, lean lines I was looking for.
Four years ago, I moved to Long Island and found Flex Studios, where I was inspired by the amazing teachers and their ever-evolving routines. The idea of creating exciting and challenging routines with a powerfully curated playlist motivated me to become a certified Pilates instructor.
Seeing my routines come to life in your movements is inspiring and I can’t wait to inspire you to attain that full body and mind transformation.

ABOUT NICOLE
Growing up as a competitive runner, I was first introduced to Pilates when I was sidelined by an injury. It worked muscles I didn’t know existed and helped me get back on the track. I immediately fell in love with its controlled movements and full-body burn, and knew I wanted to share my experience with others. When I found Flex, it was the perfect blend of slow-paced muscle movement and cardio bursts, and kicked off my passion for teaching.

ABOUT SARAH
Hi! I’m a 20-year-old college student, and Pilates has helped me become the strongest version of myself. I’ve been an athlete my whole life, always doing high-intensity workouts, but when I got to college, I felt lost without the structure of a sports team. I started experimenting to find a workout that made me feel good, and when I tried Pilates, I fell in love with the mind-body connection and how it transformed the way I felt. Pilates changed my life and my relationship with fitness, turning it from something I used to see as a chore into an act of self-love and joy.

ABOUT GABBY
I fell in love with Pilates after using it to help recover from a lower back condition, and currently healing from 2 hip surgeries. I love the mind body connection as well as its ability to change and heal the body. My journey started when I was introduced to Pilates as a way to help heal my back. one class later and I was hooked. Ive since given over 600 hours to my certification, and continuing education.

ABOUT CAROL
I've been an athlete my entire life and love sharing my love of movement with clients. I fell in love with Pilates a few years ago after having my second child; I found the focus on core really helped strengthen my entire body, center, and mind. When it comes to movement, I believe the end result is to feel good in your body, to feel stronger and improve mobility. Every day you can move your body is a gift! I hope that clients walk out of my classes smiling, feeling stronger and more confident. I focus on form and core strength and love making a kick ass playlist to guide you through the full body shake. Come take class me and shake you will!

ABOUT AMANDA
Due to scoliosis the one exercise format that always stuck for me was Pilates and the way it changed my body. I became a personal trainer in 2019 with an ISSA certification, became certified in mat pilates in 2020, completed a certification for Pilates Suspension Method in 2024, and currently am pursuing my full Comprehensive Pilates certification through Equinox. I use all the experience from my variety of workouts to create a fusion of fun and change it up each workout for my clientele. My hope is that you leave my class always feeling a major burn, super lengthened, and fueling your own passion for Pilates!

ABOUT Jeanette

I started my career as a corporate event planner in NYC. It was a blast. But also exhausting. But the travel - so good. I moved to San Francisco in 2008 and had double knee surgery which led me to an amazing Pilates-based physical therapist. I was hooked. When I moved back to NYC in 2010, I quit my corporate job, got married & enrolled at Pilates Academy International to dive deeper into this whole Pilates thing. Two years later (& two weeks after my first daughter was born), I opened FLEX. Fast forward 10 years (& then 2 NYC studios), it was time to bring FLEX to Long Island. The stars aligned when the retail space next to my sister’s organic restaurant (Organic Krush) opened in Woodbury. I love people. I love hearing their success stories, I love other moms and I love the escape & community FLEX provides them. I also love being a student so I'm currently enrolled in the Equinox Comprehensive Teacher Training. I love what I do and I love showing my girls there is nothing more important than our health.

WHEN NOT IN THE STUDIO
Did you see I have 5 girls lol? I bounce back and forth between dance, soccer, carpools, cooking a lot of meals and a constant rotation of kids in the backyard. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Hope to see you on the FlexFormer.
