Stormie Partee
Level 1 Master Instructor, Comprehensively Certified Instructor
Education: Century Pilates Certified Instructor® , Power Pilates® Mat Certified, Club Pilates Certified Instructor, Vbarre®, TRX®
Stormie Partee is your everyday, west Texas gal! Originally from Big Spring, TX Stormie had a very active and athletic upbringing. Before graduating high school and moving the DFW to attend University of North Texas to study Risk Management and Insurance, she spent much of her time playing club volleyball and incorporated her love for the sport throughout her college years. In 2018, after suffering from her second knee injury, Stormie was introduced to Pilates through her rehabilitation specialist, and she immediately fell in love with the fitness program.
Stormie took her love for the program to the next level in July 2019 and pursued her first teacher training certification through Club Pilates. After completion, Stormie fell in love with the rich history of authentic Pilates and made the leap to bridge to classical Pilates mat education with the reputable, and internationally regarded, Power Pilates NY. It was then that Stormie knew she wanted to take her understanding of Pilates to the next level and pursued her 2nd Comprehensive Pilates Certification with prestigious 600+ hour Century Pilates Teacher Training Program headquartered in Arlington, TX. Stormie has completed over 1,300 hours of teacher training, and continues to develop her craft through private and group class instruction, continued education and various Pilates workshops.
In addition to her passion for Pilates, Stormie continues to be dedicated to her first passion as a professional in the risk management and insurance industry. She is the Senior Vice President and Operations Director for Boyd, Shackleford, Barnett & Dixon, LLC headquartered in Plano, TX. She is also the current President of the Independent Insurance Agents of Tarrant County, an organization she has been heavily involved in since 2013; the organization focuses on strengthening professional relationships while providing opportunities for professional development, political advocacy, and community outreach.
Stormie is a devoted mother to Graham Alan, 15, and Carder Knox, 13. She currently holds various board seats for the Lamar High School Band Booster Club, Lamar High School Football Booster Club, and the Shackelford Junior High School PTA out of Arlington, TX.
One of her biggest hopes to come from her commitment to proliferate Pilates is that her children recognize the importance of a great fitness program and healthy lifestyle – to be a role model exerting strength, independence, positivity, and determination. With all those characteristics in mind, she wishes to spread her love for Pilates to every person she encounters.

Molly Evans
Level 2 Phases Fitness Instructor & 4th generation Classical certification
Education: 4th Generation Century Pilates Instructor Training Program Comprehensive Classical Pilates Instructor
Molly‘s first Pilates class was in 2008 when she was 10 years old. Her ballet studio included a weekly mat class taught by Chacha Gurrero, with the occasional appearance made by Romana Kryzanowska herself. At the time, Molly was completely unaware of the incredible gift that was being given to her at such a young age. She came back to her Pilates practice in 2022 and the rest is history.
Molly's passion for Pilates stems from her first love, classical ballet. She often states that it has the flow and grace of ballet without the actual dancing. It's the most fun she's had exercising and moving her body since retiring her pointe shoes. When you take Molly's class, she hopes you feel the same thrill she does and leave feeling accomplished and empowered.
A noteworthy fact about Molly is the 17+ years of classical, Russian ballet experience she has under her belt. She trained under names in the field such as Alexander Vetrov of the Bolshoi Ballet and Paul Mejia, former New York City Ballet principal dancer, and the son of Joseph Pilates's protégé, Romana Kryzanowska.
When she's not at the studio, you can find Molly spending time with her husband and two cats, watching football, reading a book, or finding a fun new spot to grab a drink with friends at.

Laura Ten Eyck
Level 2 Phases Fitness Instructor & 4th generation Classical certification
Education: 4th Generation Century Pilates Instructor Training Program Comprehensive Classical Pilates Instructor
Laura came to know Pilates in late 2019 at her local franchise Club Pilates studio. After doing more research she transitioned to Century Pilates with a goal of getting stronger and deepening her practice. The smaller classes and personal attention allowed her to do both. Classical Pilates resonates with Laura because it is based on tradition and focuses on the importance of mastering foundations as a path to success. Laura also values supportive and inclusive studio culture. Practicing Pilates helped Laura prepare for, and recover from, several orthopedic surgeries. The strength she gained through her classical Pilates practice paid off during physical therapy and when she returned to the studio. Laura loves teaching students at all levels and is energized by helping them reach their personal goals.
