After approx­i­mately six months she was off all pre­scribed pain med­ica­tions and was able to return back to work. After prac­tic­ing Pilates for 2 years Macaully started the Pilates instruc­tor cer­ti­fi­ca­tion pro­gram at Met­ro­pol­i­tan Pilates in Seat­tle.

Lexie Bab­bitt

Lexie has com­bined a life­time love for fit­ness with a desire for teach­ing and help­ing oth­ers find their high­est poten­tial. Her love for the Pilates method began back in 1996 when she expanded her fit­ness rou­tine beyond vol­ley­ball & hik­ing to include Pilates mat classes. Very quickly she felt her body strengthen, saw her sports per­for­mance improve and found more flex­i­bil­ity and sta­bil­ity in her daily activities.

A skilled teacher, Lexie is adept at eval­u­at­ing the needs of her client’s bod­ies. She is cre­ative in her teach­ing and can pro­vide Pilates pro­grams to suit any age or fit­ness level. Her clien­tele ranges from ath­letes (golfers, eques­tri­ans, skiers, moun­tain climbers, body builders, dancers) to clients in their 70’s.

Clas­si­cally trained through Power Pilates in New York, she is also a mem­ber of the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA). Her approach is one of encour­age­ment and atten­tion to detail with the goal of help­ing her clients find more flex­i­bil­ity and strength in their bod­ies and more joy in their lives.

Peggy O’Brien Gould

An avid out­door­swoman and glo­be­trot­ter, Peggy started tak­ing Pilates in 1993.  Ini­tially, she used the Pilates Method as a way to enhance her per­for­mance in Eques­trian com­pe­ti­tion.  With the bal­ance, strength and coor­di­na­tion that Pilates enhances, it was a nat­ural match.  After per­son­ally wit­ness­ing how Pilates has helped peo­ple from all walks of life, in 2002 she decided to train and share this inspir­ing pro­gram with oth­ers.  Peggy was cer­ti­fied in 2003 by Grande Dame of Pilates Romana Kryzanowska, through Pilates Seat­tle Inter­na­tional.  She appren­ticed both at the Pilates Stu­dio, and with Dorothee Van­de­Walle at Met­ro­pol­i­tan Pilates, in Seat­tle.  She reg­u­larly enhances her cer­ti­fi­ca­tion with con­tin­u­ing edu­ca­tion work­shops with mas­ter teach­ers.  Peggy holds a BA from the Uni­ver­sity of Wash­ing­ton in Art.  She enjoys ski­ing with her hus­band and son, horse­back rid­ing, read­ing, art, yoga and travel.

Leslie Allah­yari

Leslie, an enthu­si­ast for all forms of move­ment, has always been involved in fit­ness, such as ten­nis, box­ing, snow­board­ing, and yoga.  Her search for greater flex­i­bil­ity and strength lead her to Pilates in 2004… and it’s no sur­prise she was  imme­di­ately hooked!  From her first ses­sion, Leslie became very pas­sion­ate about Pilates and wanted to share this enjoy­ment with oth­ers.  As a mother of five, she approaches her teach­ing with com­pas­sion and intel­lect.  She brings clear expla­na­tions of Pilates prin­ci­ples instill­ing con­fi­dence and trust among her clients.  Her great­est joy comes from show­ing peo­ple how Pilates relates to their daily life, help­ing to elim­i­nate pain and cre­ate strong flex­i­ble bod­ies.  Leslie stud­ied with world renown Mas­ter Teacher Dorothee Van­de­Walle and received her cer­ti­fi­ca­tion from Met­ro­pol­i­tan Pilates in Seattle.

Christin Call

I live an active lifestyle as a con­tem­po­rary dancer and Co-founder of Cori­o­lis Dance Col­lec­tive with Natascha Green­walt Mur­phy, as well as teach­ing dance at sev­eral stu­dios in the Puget Sound Area.  I began prac­tic­ing Pilates in my teens with Aliesa George and Mei Wong of Cen­ter­works Pilates in Wichita, KS.  With Pilates’ unique method of devel­op­ing long, lean mus­cles, it was an excel­lent way to cross-train and fur­ther fine-tune my athleticism.  When a severe back injury side­lined my dance career for 4 years, I dis­cov­ered how the mod­u­lar nature and low impact of Pilates also allowed me to be phys­i­cally active with­out pain, reha­bil­i­tat­ing my injury and result­ing in my even­tual return to the stage.

I received my cer­ti­fi­ca­tion from Mas­ter Teacher Dorothee Van­de­Walle at Met­ro­pol­i­tan Pilates.  As an instruc­tor, I am very hands-on and give gen­er­ous feedback.  My approach is to col­lab­o­rate with clients in order to address issues of align­ment, mus­cle imbal­ances, and body aware­ness, mold­ing your ses­sion to your spe­cific needs in a way that will help you stand taller, move with greater ease, and feel bet­ter not just in the Pilates stu­dio, but in every­day life.
