Our Trainers

Athena Liu ​

Instructor & Personal Trainer

Athena Liu is from Taiwan and has been teaching Pilates since 2016. She was a medical technologist and went to the Pilates classes in 2013 order to release shoulder and low back pains, after sessions she found the benefits far more than just core strength, flexibility, and tone. The overall wellness in her life from Pilates inspired her to become a teacher.
Athena’s main purpose is to help people alleviate body discomfort. She went through STOTT PILATES® Rehab instructor training course which is specifically for licensed health care professionals wishing to integrate this for injury prevention and rehabilitation.
 In her classes you will receive the greatest attention, be challenged, and find encouragement to help you reach the goals.

Susan Scheiffley

Instructor & Personal Trainer

Susan is your typical working mom who leans in.  Having struggled with her weight her whole life, including extreme obesity, Susan empathizes with those who suffer the mental anguish and sense of defeat caused by excess weight. 
Susan found Pilates and fell in love with the gentle but highly effective total body toning.  She found that improving her core, created improved mobility and enabled her to get in better shape to tackle other forms of exercise that she also enjoys, such as walking, TRX, cross fit circuit training, body pump, and even dance cardio!  Susan decided to go through STOTT PILATES® training to help others permanently break the obesity cycle and become the best version of themselves - for good!
