Holly Chiodo

My passion for health and fitness lead me to a career in Physical Therapy in 2000. As a life long athlete, the combination of aging and competing in triathlons keep me injured. My standard rehab approach was not enough for treating my own body. The tipping point came when I suffered a back injury and needed a more complete approach to healing and recovery. I fell in love with Pilates instantly and become a certified Pilates teacher through Polestar Pilates and the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) in 2008.

As a physical therapist, I have seen how Pilates is powerful in restoring health from injury or illness by enhancing body awareness, correcting imbalances, and developing a powerful foundation of strength. My passion for teaching Pilates is rooted in the belief that we must look at the body with an integrative lens in order to heal. My training approach starts with setting a powerful intention and then creating a supportive environment to re-learn new movement strategies so there is is a clear path to healing.

My most recent professional role was a Pilates Physical Therapist at the University of Utah Orthopedic Clinic in Salt Lake City. While at the U, I developed and taught a successful Pilates Backcare class that is now my signature program. At the end of 2018, I became a proud new mama to a beautiful baby boy which changed everything. Now, with limited time and a sharper focus, I am committed to the ongoing refinement of teaching Pilates specialized workshops, classes, and private sessions. I look forward to supporting your training goals with a therapeutic Pilates plan that helps you feel your best and assist you in obtaining powerful results.
