Buffy

Meet Buffy, from Charleston, SC. She earned her first comprehensive pilates certification from Karen Sanzo’s Pilates Unlimited! in 2004. In 2015, Buffy completed Romana’s Pilates in New York City. Having owned her own studio business for 12 years until late 2015, she authored her own training manual and certification program, mentored dozens of apprentices and built relationships with hundreds of clients. Most recently Buffy has also become a certified Cancer Exercise Specialist. Buffy says, "It was through the magic of Pilates that I discovered how to exercise correctly and how vital it is to quality of life. My first hand experience with several severe injuries make me a compassionate and more effective teacher. Adept at giving each client the most effective workout for the person that is in front of me is my mission. I would say I’m easy going, my clients might say I’m quite the task master!”
