Experience:  After a successful 15-year career in corporate marketing, Hollee made the leap over to the fitness world and began pursuing her passion:  to teach the Pilates method of body conditioning.  During this time, she has had the privilege of training private clients in Mammoth Lakes, CA, and North San Diego County, CA.  She is the owner of Hollee’s Pilates of Mammoth Lakes, CA, the only STOTT PILATES studio in the Eastern Sierra (see www.stottpilates.com for more info).  The state-of-the-art Mammoth Lakes studio features 4 STOTT reformers, 1 STOTT cadillac/trapeze table, 1 STOTT stability chair and 1 STOTT ladder barrel, free weights as well as small props, mats and other ancillary equipment, including 4 STOTT jumpboards and 1 rotational discboard for hip, knee, and ankle rehabilitation.

Training Philosophy:  “To me, the Pilates body of work is nothing short of a miracle.  Almost like magic I watch my clients gain strength and restore function in the face of significant injuries and limitations.  At the same time, their physiques become more defined as they build strength, mobility, flexibility, and a general grace throughout their systems.  I can’t believe how well this method of training works for all types of people.  For me, it was the “magic bullet” to the lean, injury-free body I had always wanted.  Even as an endurance enthusiast, I could not drop excess bodyweight until I discovered and tried private Pilates training on equipment.  In just 6 months of training with a private Pilates trainer, I dropped 3 sizes and developed the tight, toned abs I had always wanted.  And, even with the demands that I place on my body in the various sports I love, I have not been injured, in pain, or gained the weight back during the years I have had Pilates training in my body.”
