Polestar and PMA certified, with extensive Stott Pilates training, Tammi loves teaching and is thrilled to be part of the Premier team.

From the elderly to the athlete, Tammi meets the clients at their level, and helps them build strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. She brings mindful attention to each client, helping them feel empowered and nurtured. Tammi sought out Pilates as a cross training path, to balance her running routine.

When Tammi is not in the studio, you can find her running, hiking, reading or spending time with her husband and dear senior dogs, and Cassidy and Migo.

The extensive Polestar training focuses on assessing each client to build a Pilates exercise program based on individual goals and needs. Melissa enjoys Pilates because of the lengthening movements that improve balance, flexibility, strength and posture and loves how good her clients feel after a Pilates workout. Her two teenage children keep her busy at home, where she enjoys spending time with her family, long walks with her dog, traveling, and trips to the beach.
