Owners,
Arlene Bass and Sharon Gawin, love what they do and take
a personal interest in each of the clients at Body Evolve.
Everyday, Arlene and Sharon are accessible and visible in
the studios, training clients and treating patients. They
both have an extraordinary ability to see and understand
how bodies move and function. This allows them to effectively
use Pilates to train clients, from rehabilitating patients
to optimizing elite athletic performance. Additionally, both
owners play an integral role in developing and conducting
education and certification programs at Body Evolve. Arlene
and Sharon are on faculty for Balanced Body University and
host all Mat and Equipment modules in the Pilates Teacher
Training program.
