Certified Pilates Instructor

Owner

Mer fell in love with Pilates after undergoing 2 back surgeries, neither of which alleviated her low back and hip pain. Mer tried Pilates on a whim, and fell in love with its healing abilities. Her back and hip pain are finally gone and the multitude of other benefits had Mer hooked.  

Before starting her own business, Mer worked downtown at Sun Pilates.  She began Thrive Hive Pilates in 2021 as a home-based business and developed her own unique approach to Pilates that has grown into an amazing program with a focus on fun but challenging classes.  

Mer has a great belief in Pilates and a passion to help others feel their personal best, this shines thru in every class Mer teaches.

Cat started teaching fitness in 2020 after a 20 year career in hospitality and event planning. She choose fitness as her second career because she saw the positive impact fitness was having in her life and wanted to share with others. Cat is very passionate about the many benefits of exercise and takes great pride in her work.

When Cat is not in the studio doing or teaching Pilates you will find her either hiking, doing hot yoga, spending time with her 3 little dogs or lifting heavy things in the gym.
