Teaching Style
Cody’s HIIT Pilates style is fast-paced and music-driven, blending high-energy intervals with precise, controlled movement. The playlist sets the vibe, keeping motivation high while the burn stays real. Challenging progressions and supportive modifications make it tough, effective, and accessible for all levels.
How Hot Pilates Serves Cody
Pilates gives me 45 minutes to an hour to fully unplug, put my phone away, and be completely present. I get to immerse myself in the music, the movement, and the energy in the room, which resets me just as much as it does the class. Taking that time to care for my own body helps me show up stronger, clearer, and more grounded as an instructor.
Words of Wisdom
Don’t underestimate the basics — water, good nutrition, and rest will take your body further than any single workout ever could. The real magic happens when your mind and body are connected, so stay present and move with intention, not just momentum.
