Karen Bates

I am a graduate of Oklahoma State University with a degree in International Business/Marketing.  Fitness and an active life style have always been a part of my life. After the birth of my second child, I started taking pilates classes and fell in love with them.  In 2006, I completed pilates mat certification and began teaching mat classes at a local studio. In 2007, I went through the equipment/apparatus training and began working with private clients. I have been teaching at the same local studio since 2006 and now teach an average of 25 hours a week. I love the work and enjoy seeing the progress clients can make through proper instruction.
