Hope Belmont (Master Trainer)

Certified through Stott Pilates, Hope has been teaching Pilates apparatus and mat classes for over 12 years. Her own experience of using Pilates to recover from injuries has convinced her of its effectiveness in staying strong and fit as one ages. “Fitness is the key to youthfulness,” she says.
Originally from Michigan, but now a tried-and-true New Yorker, Hope brings her sense of humor to every workout, but at the same time drives her students hard. “Fitness should be fun, yet though,” says Hope. “My father was a soldier. I got the tough part from him.” Indeed, she says, “fitness will make you fierce at any age!”

In addition to Pilates, hope is a certified Gyrotonic instructor and enjoy TRX, swimming, horseback riding, trampoline and kettlebells.
