Chantall’s professional ballet training has given her an in-depth understanding of the body, movement, and the mental and physical demands required for peak athletic performance. She brings this expertise to every Pilates session, delivering precise, personalized instruction that helps clients optimize their abilities and perform at their best.

Whether you're a dancer aiming to refine your technique, an athlete focused on injury prevention, or someone looking to enhance overall health and well-being, Chantall’s expertise bridges the gap between movement and performance. With her unique blend of dance and Pilates knowledge, she helps clients unlock their full potential—building strength, flexibility, and control for a more balanced and powerful body.

Chantall founded Pilates Time Fitness to reflect her core values of Trust, Respect, Consistency, Friendliness, and Nurturing.

She believes that people come into her life for a reason. When they come into hers they often need guidance and support to feel and see the change in their bodies and achieve the results they want.

Commitment to your mind and body takes work and practice. You then reinvent your mind and body as you evolve as a human.
