  Patti Hartsook

  Instructor

  Patti is an Executive Assistant for MidFirst Bank by day and a group fitness instructor by night. She has always been very athletic and enjoyed making many new friends. She became a group fitness instructor several years ago (as she might say, "well maybe many years ago"), because it was a good balance to keep her active, meet new people, get away from the computer, and hopefully help make a difference in someone's life. Throughout the years, she has received many certifications, i.e. AFAA Group Fitness, YogaFit, NETA Certified Personal Trainer, Zumba/Zumba Gold, Schwinn Spin Bike, Les Mills CXWorxs, and at one point became the owner and personal trainer of Breath Body Fitness Personal Training Studio.

  Stephanie Oswalt

  Instructor

  Stephanie Oswalt was in the midst of a career change when she took Pilates on a reformer for the first time in November 2018. She fell in love with it and immediately signed up for teacher training. She believes the importance of breath, lengthening, and openness of Pilates is what most fitness practices are missing. She has practiced many different forms of fitness though out her life and says that Pilates has enhanced her performance to a new level that she could not have achieved otherwise. She appreciates that Pilates is achievable for anyone regardless of age, gender, or fitness level; no matter who you are or where you are physically, you WILL experience a positive difference through Pilates. She also loves the sense of community that members of Club Pilates experience. “It is more than a gym membership, you become a family member.” Stephanie lives in Edmond with her husband, Eli. They have one adult daughter and 2 very spoiled dogs!

  Andrea Gandy

  Owner/Instructor

  Andrea was hooked on Pilates and Club Pilates in particular from her first reformer class. In Andrea's first three months she lost weight, improved her posture, increased her flexibility, and developed some much needed strength. "All that aside, I was drawn to how Pilates made me feel. I have never felt better in my life. I had more energy than ever." From taking Pilates classes, to going through teacher training, to owning a studio - Andrea has enjoyed every minute of the last year. Her deep dive into taking Pilates and teaching Pilates has only increased her passion for this form of exercise. "I truly believe that any body can do Pilates. I know I made the right choice to open the studio every time someone tells me how much better they feel." Andrea hopes that you join her for a class and become a member of the family at Club Pilates Norman. "Our Club Pilates family is passionate about feeling better, looking better, and having a ton of fun doing it."
