Judy Wright

Judy has worked in the fitness industry for several decades with Pilates being her preferred method of exercise. She was part of the " no pain, no gain " mentality of the 1980s and unfortunately some of the things she did caused injuries to her body. Fortunately, she discovered Pilates 26 years ago and as a result her spine is in better physical shape than at that time. She gives credit to the gentle yet effective Pilates technique for having spared her from back surgery. She is passionate about teaching Pilates to others as she has experienced firsthand the benefit of how the precise, controlled movements have improved her physical health. Judy has been certified in Mat Pilates since 2000 and Reformer Pilates since 2006 through Precision Pilates which is based on Body Arts and Science International (BASI), along with having mentored in the classical style of Peak Pilates. She has also been certified through AFAA as a group exercise instructor and personal trainer since the early 90s and a Balance and Mobility Specialist through Cal State Fullerton since 2014. Other certifications include Senior Fitness and Exercises for Chronic Diseases and Disabilities, as well as Rehabilitative Exercise. Work experience include Fitness Director of a retirement community, owner of a personal training studio, Pilates for chiropractic and physical therapy patients, corporate fitness classes, along with having trained in various gyms and Pilates studios in Pennsylvania, California, Arizona and South Carolina. Judy lives an active, healthy lifestyle and enjoys going to the beach, dancing, ministry, weekly chats with her grandsons and helping others remain " Forever Young" in body, soul and spirit!
