Cheryl is a former professional dancer and the founder of Pure Pilates Amsterdam. She is a Power Pilates® certified instructor who worked with master trainers in NYC for 7 years before opening this studio in 2009. In addition to teaching, she runs a mentorship program in order to pass on her classical Pilates expertise to a new generation of instructors. For Cheryl, Pilates is the ultimate mind/body workout.
