At the Clayton Pilates Studio you will find only certified instructors from the top training programs in the country. All of our instructors have completed intense  programs comprised of a minimum of 500 hours of training and apprenticeship in all areas of the Pilates method.

At the Clayton Pilates Studio, we feel we are all students of the Pilates method, therefore, continuing education is a large part of our studio life. Throughout the year we will be bringing in master instructors from all over the world to help increase our knowledge and understanding of the Pilates method.

Our dedicated instructors are:

Melissa Clark- Owner/Certified Pilates Instructor- Certified through the internationally recognized Pilates Center of Boulder, Colorado, Melissa began teaching Pilates in 2000 and completed her certification in 2003. She has received additional training through The Moving Center of Boulder, Colorado & Michele Larsson of Core Dynamics Pilates. She is a member of the Pilates Method Alliance and has had the opportunity to study with various other master instructors at the PMA annual conferences. Melissa's lifelong love of fitness brought her to Pilates in 1996 where she discovered a wonderful balance and core strength that had been missing in other forms of exercise. What started as a hobby turned into a passion and Melissa decided to pursue teacher training. She has taught at various locations in the St. Louis area ever since. Melissa has a degree in Accounting and spent over 10 years working as an accountant, auditor and financial manager, specializing in healthcare and education. She is thrilled to be able to combine her love of Pilates with her education & skills in business to open Clayton Pilates Studio.
