Hope Britt

 My name is Hope Britt and I am originally from Ruston, Louisiana.  I attended college in this small town where I became interested in teaching group exercise.  I originally thought I wanted to teach aerobic and body sculpting, but because of my dance background, (I had dance my whole life even through college) my boss at the gym I had begun teaching suggested I look into teaching Pilates.  So I began teaching Pilates and it inspired me to get certified in Pilates.  It is after this happened that opportunities came to me to teach the athletes at the college I was attending.  After graduating with my master’s degree I continued to teach Pilates as a part time job.  My husband and I moved to San Antonio this past year and I immediately became connected with a health club so that I could continue teaching.  I made some contacts which led me to the Fletcher licensing courses that I have just completed.  This method of Pilates is based on Ron Fletcher’s teachings by Joseph Pilates himself.   I am currently a high school history teacher and cheerleading coach and I teach Pilates part time.
