Amy Peters


Amy is the owner of Village Pilates. She began teaching dance and aerobics when she was 14 years old and has always loved moving her body. A dance injury introduced her to Pilates. After art college, she delved deeper into the Pilates method and became obsessed. She jumped into a classical certification and has continued to learn as much as she can from as many different instructors and branches of Pilates that she can find. She now has over 25 years of teaching experience . The studio is her pride and joy. She was among the first to introduce TRX Suspension Training, HIIT , Barre and Pilates Circuit. She strives to stay on the cutting edge of fitness, with Pilates being the foundation of it all. An auto-immune diagnosis 10 years ago only reaffirmed how important it is to her to stay strong in body and mind.  Her absolute favorite part of owning a studio is to see her clients achieve their fitness goals . Seeing them become stronger and more confident is truly rewarding. The sense of community and support at the studio is unique and makes her feel like a proud momma.The studio is a safe place for people of all ages, shapes and degrees of fitness to come together and celebrate the joy of movement.  Sharing her passion has been a life long dream come true.
