Pamela Pack
RIZE CLASSES
Mat Pilates 1 & 2 Wize Mat Pilates Reformer Pilates SUB
Meet Pamela:
After experiencing a severe back injury that sidelined my professional climbing career, I discovered the transformative power of Pilates. During 12 months of physical therapy, Pilates became a cornerstone of my recovery, ultimately allowing me to return to climbing as a professional athlete—and sparking a lifelong passion for the practice.
I have trained in Classical Pilates and completed the BASI Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training. Currently, I am advancing my expertise by working through the Comprehensive Balanced Body Pilates training. Pilates has been essential to my performance as an athlete, supporting not only recovery but also injury prevention and overall strength.
My mission as a Pilates instructor is to help others enhance their physical resilience, improve their movement patterns, and discover the incredible benefits Pilates offers for both athletic performance and everyday life.
