Before opening Windsor Fitness Club, I started my fitness journey as a dancer. I danced competitively from when I was a child and into my adulthood. As I got older, I realized that I needed something else to deliver a fuller body workout, while still maintaining my flexibility. That’s when I discovered Pilates. Taking group Pilates classes made me feel so amazing! Not only did it transform my body, but my energy and confidence increased as well. Needless to say, I was hooked! Six months later, I got certified and was teaching my own classes! Now I have been an instructor for over 7 years. What I love about teaching Pilates is challenging individuals at their own levels while watching them improve and grow. I am a major fitness advocate for all walks of life. Live fit, feel fit, be fit!

I’m a hair styling, soul searching, yoga enthusiast. My personal practice began in 1997 and I received my RYT-200 in 2023. My love for yoga brought me to a place of wanting to teach and share yoga with others. I use Baptiste Power Vinyasa yoga, and my love for music, to help people find their own strength, love & light!

Kate began her yoga practice in Los Angeles, CA in 2010 and quickly realized that yoga was not only for the body but also for the mind. Coming from a chaotic mental state, yoga helped guide her on the path to her truest self. Now, yoga has become a way to harness the strength within; building from the core, or third chakra, and expanding outwards. Kate has a background in Power Yoga and has modified her teachings to include both strength building and restorative poses, creating a balanced body and mind connection.

NASM Certified personal trainer. Bryanna has always loved movement and staying fit, growing up with a background in both competitive soccer and swimming. Full circle fitness is what I am committed to, mind, body and soul. To say I am passionate about fitness would be an understatement, not just for the physical benefits but for the health and wellness it brings both mentally and emotionally as well. Fitness is not only ageless but limitless when provided with the correct movement patterns, workout programming, cueing and modifications. I pride myself not only to give a great workout but to do so in a way where people of every age level and fitness level can get through. There is no better way to connect the mind, body, and soul than to get the body moving in any and every way possible. Most of my fitness background has been in weight and strength training with a new found love and obsession for Pilates, physiotherapy and longevity of health and wellness. “When You Want to Succeed As Bad As You Want to Breathe, Then You’ll Be Successful” – Eric Thomas

“Hi, I’m Becky Schwank! A mom of 2 boys, I grew up in Sonoma County doing competitive cheerleading and was also a competitive dancer! I fell in love with fitness after having my first son in 2016 and shortly after became an NASM certified personal trainer. For the last 8 years I’ve been a personal trainer, ran a fitness franchise, and also a Pilates instructor! Hot Pilates and Hot Strength are what I fell in love with 3 years ago, and can’t get enough! The full body workout, the sweat, and the amazing environment is so fulfilling!”

My name is Carlos Mendoza. I’m originally from El Salvador, but moved to Santa Rosa from Reno recently. I’m a father of a beautiful 23 year old daughter and an awesome 19 year old son. I’m a former amateur boxer and boxed for 12 years. I have been a student of the sport since turning the fire off at 24. I’ve since been a Pilates instructor for the last 6 years, a personal boxing coach the last 4 and a fitness junkie all my life, whether I liked it or not! I love hot Pilates because this work out changed my life and the way I look at fitness! I also teach yoga, boxing and I’m super excited to work with all you and share my crazy energy and love for fitness. Much love! Let’s Get It!!

At the age of 9, I took up classical ballet and jazz. It shaped my life forever, as it has given me a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection. At age 23, I moved to Hawaii and exchanged dance for my curiosity in the practice of yoga. For 6 years, I practiced yoga, acquired my sociology degree from the University of Hawaii, and my certification of aesthetics. With dance I was able to express a story through body movement, whereas with yoga, the focus was more about staying connected to the self. After I was introduced to barre I became passionate about strengthening the body with this mind to muscle connection. I trained with Barre and got certified to teach. I am passionate about building a relationship with the body as a whole, both with strength and flexibility. My inspiration is to encourage others to commit to protecting their body from future injuries by maintaining strength, flexibility, and strong joints.

I started practicing Pilates in 2017 and was instantly amazed by how it brought clarity and lightness to my body and mind. In 2019, I began teaching! Pilates is my lifeline. It’s not just a workout, it’s a system of support for growth and transformation. Every time I see someone accomplish their goals, I appreciate the great reward of being part of their fitness journey!

I got my 200RYT Training with Yoga Alliance 3 years ago. My style has evolved into a gentle Vinyasa Flow and Restorative Yoga Flow with meditation to help students recharge and rejoice not only in the body but in the mind. I absolutely love yoga and my heart is so full of gratitude when I get to share it with others!

With over 1000 hours of combined training, I have taught in a variety of settings and specialize in leading even the most mixed level groups. My teaching style is direct, with an emphasis on intuition and playful exploration. Expect easy-to-follow but unique sequencing, fun playlists, and an atmosphere that holds space for students at all levels, beginning or advanced.
