  Lindsay Greenfield

  Studio Manager & Certified Instructor

  Lindsay has always had a passion for health and fitness. Throughout her life, she tried every physical activity she could, but nothing really stuck until Pilates. She took her first Pilates class 10 years ago, and has been hooked ever since. She always knew that someday, she would teach Pilates. Though life took her in another direction for several years, using her Sociology degree from UNC Asheville to work in the animal cruelty investigations field, she always knew she’d come back to her Pilates roots. Backpacking for a year through Central America in 2016 gave her the clarity and focus she needed to finally decide it was time to start teaching her passion. She completed her comprehensive Pilates certification through Club Pilates, and is also an ACE certified group fitness instructor. Her passion for healthy living extends to nutrition as well. She is a certified vegan lifestyle coach, and she has a certificate from Cornell in Plant-Based Nutrition. Lindsay truly believes that Pilates is for everyone and every body, and she is dedicated to using her knowledge and passion to spread the joy of movement, and the health benefits that come with it. In her spare time, she enjoys vegan cooking, rock climbing, hiking, traveling, and photography.

  Carole Synder

  Certified Instructor

  Throughout her life, Carole has been involved in one form of fitness or another. Pilates was always something she wanted to do but it was never available to her. When the Club Pilates opened near her she walked right on over and signed up. After the first class, she knew that she would teach it and took the first opportunity to train and has completed the Club Pilates teacher training program. Also a certified yoga teacher, she appreciates how the two practices are very different yet complement each other. But in her pilates practice she has found strength that she never knew she had or even needed. Always one with an educational goal, Carole is now studying and working toward her Pilates Method Alliance certification. Having retired after a 30 year high school teaching career, she moved to Western North Carolina, and only recently relocated to Cary. She is excited to be back in a big city, closer to the ocean, closer to her son who is in Durham, and is excited to spread her love of Pilates.
