The Woman Behind the Action
LAUREN MELIA
Peak Pilates® Master Instructor
NASM Certified Personal Trainer
Having earned multiple advanced personal training certifications by age 40, fitness, health and wellness had been woven into the fiber of my everyday life. It became clear this would be my life’s work. I believe in and am evidence of the power of the mind-body connection and its ability to not only change how we think, but also how we feel, move and live. I’ve found Pilates to be the ultimate segue to living my purpose through supporting others in transforming their own lives.

HAPPY CLIENTS ARE KEY
I have completed 40 sessions with Lauren, and my only regret is that I didn't start this 10 years earlier.
Before Pilates, I treated my body like a machine—trying to fix pain with pills, or brute-forcing it with running and heavy lifting. But those methods were "outside-in" and only agitated my nervous system further.
Lauren taught me that the mind and body are one unit. Pilates works from the "inside-out." Through breath and controlled movement, I finally feel safe enough to let go of deep tension stored from years of stress and anxiety.
The results are life-changing. My chronic hip tightness is gone, I can finally sleep comfortably for hours without tossing and turning, and my "fight or flight" mode has finally switched off. Lauren is a rare, transformative teacher. Highly recommended.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER AND 2x A WEEK PILATES STUDENT
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) was the first organization dedicated to fighting pancreatic cancer in a comprehensive way, and for more than two decades, we’ve grown a nationwide movement tackling the disease from all angles.
Key Pilates is proud to sponsor PanCAN as we continue to give back to our community. Without the incredible generosity of Lauren's stepmother Judith Beibeder, who succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 2018, Key Pilates would still be just a dream.
This mission hits close to home for us. Learn about Lauren's stepmother's journey here.
