Instructor Profile
Tracey Zimmers
In 2009 Tracey started her Pilates journey after being introduced to the method by a recommendation from a friend. Her love of Pilates was immediate! Diagnosed in her early teens with mild Scoliosis, Tracey suffered from back pain and poor posture for most of her life. She was amazed at how quickly her posture improved and her back pain subsided by strengthening her core and back muscles through her Pilates practice. Tracey loved the change in her body and the overall feeling of well-being she had after each Pilates session.
After 20+ years of working as an administrative assistant/office manager in the private country club business, in 2016 she decided to follow her passion for the method and pursue a certification to teach Pilates. Tracey received her all-level comprehensive Pilates certification under Krista Schollaert Garabedian at Lates Pilates in Pittsburgh, PA in the fall of 2016. She learned a great deal throughout her certification process, teaching all types of clients with various health issues. Tracey enjoys learning from her clients and helping them achieve their personal goals. She loves watching the transformation of her client’s body throughout their own Pilates journey. In her classes she likes to mix it up a bit, and keep it fun and energizing. Tracey believes that protecting the spine by building the core enables one to live a longer, healthier, and happier life!
She has attended continuing education workshops by the famed Courtney Miller, Blossom Leilani Crawford of Bridge Pilates in Brooklyn, NY, as well as Brett Miller. Tracey plans to attend a workshop by second-generation Master Pilates teacher, Jillian Hessel, in October 2020. She attends continuing education workshops to learn and remain current in the technique, enabling her to grow alongside her clients. In Toledo, Tracey continues to deepen her knowledge of Pilates under the thoughtful, expert guidance and instruction of Cynthia Taylor.
Tracey has been married to her husband, John, for 30 years. As well as her love of Pilates, she enjoys traveling with her husband and spending time on a beach or in the mountains!
