Ruth Baines

After moving to Winnipeg in January 2001 Ruth trained to become a fully certified Pilates Instructor. She teaches all levels of Pilates classes to groups, privates and semi-privates. She’s passionate about the form of Pilates and endeavors to bring that to her clients. Ruth enjoys challenging her clients to find the details of the work and encouraging them to push past their own physical limitations. Previous to her training as a Pilates Instructor she taught everything from Post-Cardiac rehab fitness to horseback riding and baby ballet.

Ruth trained as a dancer in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto. Her life in the dance world developed into a history of chronic back pain. Pilates allowed Ruth to eliminate that pain and continue to dance and perform to this day. She brings a wealth of experience and a sense of humor to each and every class she teaches. Ruth is also a certified MELT Method and TRX Instructor.
