A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Marissa Ford, a Dayton native who has always loved health and wellness. I began my Pilates journey in 2011 to build back strength after the birth of my son. I quickly fell in love with the way my body felt after every session! My love for practicing Pilates grew into a passion for teaching it. I immersed myself in the intensive, STOTT Pilates instructor training program and surrounded myself with knowledgeable teachers who mentored me along the way. After the completion of my training, I became a nationally certified Pilates instructor (NCPT). I completed the BarreAmped beginner and advanced method certifications, along with many hours of exercise science and anatomy certifications. The study of movement is constantly evolving, which brings many opportunities for further education and continual growth!  
Outside of Pilates, I'm a wife to my best friend and a mom and step-mom to three amazing kids. We love hiking, running, swimming, gymnastics, and anything that we can do outdoors! Pilates allows me to up with my kids and continue doing all the things I love to do ☀️.
