Hard work meets smart training 💪�
Greg Wilfred, standout from Edna Karr High School and future West Virginia University football player, added Pilates to his training to tap into strength and stability he wasn’t getting from traditional workouts alone. Working with our Pilates instructor Kayne, Greg focused on core strength, balance, and mobility — tools that support performance at the next level.

We’re proud to be part of the journey and excited to see what’s ahead.
