Roxann Woods first saw Pilates on The Oprah Show in 1998 and went out and bought a tape to begin practicing but saw little results. A year and a half later after the birth of her second child, she suffered a spinal injury and again sought out Pilates to help with back pain. This time she went out a Pilates studio to take private sessions.  She found with the tapes she was just doing the moves without using the right abdominals muscles, breathing or correct form.  Eight months later she was totally pain free, was stronger in her core, and was able to stand up straight again. After seeing and feeling dramatic results, she began her path as a Pilates Instructor to help others learn the benefits of Pilates practiced the correct way
Roxann is certified in Pilates Mat and Apparatus ,  a Pilates for Golf Coach Advanced Instructor through The Pilates For Golf Coach located in California, and a Pilates Instructor Trainer. After completing her Pilates training she opened Pilates The Form studio located in Cary, NC.  She assisted in organizing The Pilates Expo in 2004 &2005 where she was also a presenter. Roxann is excited to be able to share her experience, love, and passion for Pilates with others.

Mahala McClure began her interest in Pilates, with her love of dance and movement. She studied all disciplines of dancing for 18 years. She has been a member of the Appalachian State University Dance Ensemble, ASU Dance Team, and the NCSU Dance Team as well as participating in private dance companies in the Triangle.  In 2001 she attended the American Dance Festival at Duke University . This intensive program allowed her to take 3 hours of Pilates a day for six weeks. The exposure to two different teaching styles and methods gave her a broad sense of how Pilates could be tailored to any individual. The benefits of Pilates were not only obvious in her dance technique, but also in her everyday movement. 

She is a certified in both Mat and Apparatus in 2001. She acquired most of her teaching experience through local Pilates Studios in Raleigh , and local Gym’s. Mahala helped create the first Group Fitness Pilates Program at NC State

University teaching all ages, 18-70, and fitness levels, novice to advance. In 2005 she became certified through PCC in the Reformer. She has been at Pilates the Form since 2005 and enjoys any challenge a client can bring her.

Diane Klotz grew up playing sports-everything from backyard wiffleball and kickball to organized soccer and field hockey.  Initially believing that Pilates was only for dancers and the Hollywood elite, she passed it over as a physical fitness option for herself until Pilates arrived at her gym.  She thought she would give it a try and began practicing Pilates in 2001 to complement her other fitness activities which at the time included running and weight training.  After witnessing how Pilates improved her running and posture, as well as maintained her muscle tone without continued weight training, in 2002 she decided to further her study of Pilates through certification. Diane began sharing the ability of Pilates to strengthen and transform the body as a group fitness instructor in a gym setting.  

In early 2006 she joined Pilates the Form where she is privileged to be able to work closely with 

clients to individualize their Pilates workouts and help them achieve their personal fitness goals. Diane is certified on both mat and equipment and enjoys continuing to learn about and refine her own knowledge and practice of Pilates through sharing it with others.  When she is not teaching Pilates, Diane is a scientist with a PhD in molecular biology.

Karen Capps has always been a fitness nut in part because of a family history of cancer and heart disease.  She started weight training in college and took up competitive running in 2000.  Knee pain and a pulled hamstring sidelined her in 2002.  The orthopedic doctor recommended physical therapy and it was here that she was introduced to Pilates and the value of regaining range of motion and balance.  She started practicing to a tape and taking some classes, but not consistently. 

Then in 2003, neck pain and migraine headaches drove her to the chiropractor, who, again, emphasized the need for strong a core, balance, and flexibility.  He had her to give up weight training because it was reducing her flexibility.  Desperate to engage in some type of activity, she started taking Pilates classes at Pilates the Form.  Her excitement grew as she noticed the 

changes in her body and fewer trips to the chiropractor.  Under Roxann’s positive instruction and encouragement, Karen obtained her certification in to teach Mat and Apparatus classes.  Her goal is to pursue higher level certifications in order to better meet the needs of her clients.

Mandy McLin was exposed to the Pilates method in high school to improve dance technique and found it to be very helpful.  Several years later, in 2002, she enrolled in a Pilates class at Pilates the Form and noticed improvement of posture and muscle tone along with the decrease of back pain.  It also boosted confidence and happiness in life.  She has always been interested in fitness and in how the body works together to carry out a movement.  After several graduate courses in anatomy and medicine, she decided that she wanted to learn how to help people through Pilates, such as in decreasing lower back pain.  Mandy is a certified Mat Instructor. She is currently continuing to further her knowledge of pilates through additional certifications and training.
