  Danielle Gottesman

  Pilates Instructor

  Hailing originally from Chicago, Danielle’s entree into the world of wellness 20 years ago was inspired by a job in advertising that left her feeling compelled to make a greater impact on others' lives. Later, motherhood inspired her to focus on playing a larger role in healthy living and punctuated a desire to help people better define the meaning of true health. Woven throughout her years in the corporate setting was an early foray into Pilates Reformer classes in 2000, which opened up a whole new world and completely changed her body inside and out. After being invited to formally train as an instructor, Danielle certified with Balanced Body in Reformer in 2001, followed by Mat and Barre certifications thereafter. In 2008, Danielle left her 9-5 to focus exclusively on wellness and parenting, and became a certified Wellness Coach in 2016. Her absolute passion is helping people realize the path to feeling great in their bodies and in their hearts. She is so excited to be part of the Club Pilates team and looks forward to having you in her classes!
