  Ulyssa Preciado

  Hi my Name is Ulyssa Preciado and I've been in the fitness industry for over 20 years. I fell in love with pilates in 2007 and started teaching mat and chair classes right after. I can remember walking into a room of 3 that quickly grew to a room of 40. My passion for Pilates shows in every class. I'm not just your instructor, teacher or guide but a friend who is willing to give you the best of me so that you may become the best of you. Come in and try a demo. Give me 30 days with your body and I promise you will never look back. Can't wait to meet you.

  Annette's love of fitness began in the fifth grade when she joined her school's track team and continued to play sports throughout school. She took up running in college and has ran several marathons and half-marathons. Her passion during the past decade has been yoga, that is until she took her first Pilates class at Club Pilates.

  Ashley Zarr

  Originally hailing from Iowa Falls, Iowa, Ashley grew up actively involved in dance, theatre, and teaching (it’s in her blood- both her parents are educators and she nannied for the past 15 years). Following her passion for dance and the freedom and joy that movement inspires, she earned her BA in Dance from the University of Iowa, sharing that love throughout her studies, teaching at multiple studios both in Iowa as well as here in the Valley after her relocation in 2010 to follow her dream of dancing professionally. Ashley has been grateful to work with multiple companies over the past eight years, Halo Movement Collective, Scorpius Dance Theatre, Dulce Dance Company, and Liz Ann Hewett Presents, as well as a freelance and guest artist for other Phoenix based companies. After having worked with children and adults in the dance medium for the past 13 years, Pilates was a natural transition. Introduced to the concepts and requirements behind the Club Pilates’ Teacher Training program by former fellow HMC company members Jordyn Siegfried and Erin Lovrien, Ashley knew it was the next right thing and jumped in with both feet. Having suffered from multiple injuries in her college dance career, Ashley has been a whole body health advocate for the past decade, and has been inspired and impressed with the personal healing and greater physical understanding she’s seen in her own body from self-practice. She has also gained immensely from the hands-on knowledge of learning to understand correct alignment and muscular functions, through those she’s been fortunate to work with. Excited by the possibilities and passionate about the journey, Ashley is looking forward to helping others see the potential within themselves that can truly only be unlocked by this “Mind-Body Connection” that Joseph Pilates knew to be true so many years ago. Ashley is ready for her classes to become challenging studies of ways to improve overall movement and function in our daily, and exercise, lives, therefore impacting everything else with such a positive energy. She hopes that you will join her. In addition to pursuing all things health, Ashley loves being outdoors, especially if it involves the woods or water, creating handmade gifts for those she loves, cooking, and spending time with her friends and fiancée, Jon, and, of course, dancing.

  Alyssa Beevers

  Hello, my name's Alyssa! I fell in love with Pilates back when I first started taking it at a local community college, after a couple health scares. Pilates has helped reshape my health, and I'd love to help you with reshaping yours as well. Seeing people reach their goals, and even beyond what they thought was possible for their bodies makes me really excited to teach every class. I bring an air of excitement to every class, and I can't wait to work with you!

  I received my comprehensive Pilates training through Balanced Body at Personalized Pilates in Scottsdale, AZ. I finished my training in June of 2017 and got certified in July. I have been teaching Pilates for a little over a year and coaching synchronized swimming for 8 years. I was a synchronized swimmer for 14 years and I got the opportunity to swim in college at the University of The Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas.
