I’m May, a Pilates teacher helping you move with strength and balance.

Hi, I’m May Martin, a nationally certified Classical Pilates instructor based in Sandy Springs, Georgia. My Pilates journey began over eight years ago, inspired by a passion for movement and a desire to help others feel stronger and more balanced in their bodies.

After graduating from my certification program, I gained experience teaching in several studios, where I worked with clients in both group settings and one-on-one sessions. Those experiences allowed me to refine my teaching approach, adapt to different needs, and truly see how Pilates can transform lives.

“Pilates is the art of looking at your body and knowing exactly how to train it.”

My Story

Origins & Personal Journey

My own journey to Pilates started with scoliosis. Years of discomfort, back pain, and limited movement pushed me to seek a modality that would not just “work out” the body, but heal, restore, and strengthen from the inside out. Pilates did that for me — it adjusted my posture, strengthened my core, and gave me back control over how my body moves in daily life.

Professional Growth

As I deepened my training, I pursued certifications in Anatomy, Kinesiology, Clinical Pilates, and specialized for back, hip, and shoulder conditions. These credentials allowed me to serve clients with injuries or chronic conditions more safely and effectively.

Working in a physical therapy setting in Georgia broadened my perspective: I taught clients recovering from injury, and learned to integrate rehabilitative principles with Pilates. These experiences refined my approach and clarified my mission — to help clients live strong, pain-free lives.
