Judy Wright

Judy has been in the fitness industry for several decades with Pilates being her preferred method of exercise. She was part of the “no pain, no gain” mentality of the 1980s and unfortunately some of the things done at that time wreaked havoc on her body. Fortunately she discovered Pilates about 20 years ago and as a result is in better physical shape than at that time. She gives credit to the gentle yet effective Pilates technique for having spared her from back surgery. She is very passionate about teaching Pilates to others as she has experienced firsthand the benefit of how the precise, controlled movements have improved her physical health. Judy has been certified in Mat Pilates since 2000 and Reformer Pilates since 2006 through Precision Pilates, which is based on Body Arts and Science International (BASI), along with having mentored in the classical style of Peak Pilates. She has also been certified through AFAA as a group exercise instructor since 1993 and personal trainer since 1998, and Balance and Mobility Specialist through Cal State Fullerton since 2014. Other certifications include Senior Fitness and Exercises for Chronic Diseases and Disabilities, as well as Rehabilitative Exercise. Work experience includes Director of Fitness at a retirement community, owner of a personal training studio, Pilates for chiropractic and Physical Therapy patients, corporate fitness classes, along with training in various gyms and Pilates studios in California, Arizona and Pennsylvania. Judy has been an avid dancer for years and enjoys being in ministry, spending time with her grandchildren and helping others remain “Forever Young” in body, soul and spirit!
