Meet Amber

Hi! I’m Amber, creator and instructor of Palisades Pilates. I fell in love with fitness after running two marathons in my twenties and eventually left the corporate world to pursue teaching.


I’ve been teaching fitness for over 10 years, and what I love most is creating workouts that make you feel strong, challenged and connected.


I’m a mom of two, wife, and lifelong fitness enthusiast. I am so happy you're here!


Education & Training

  • NASM Personal Trainer
  • Certified Mat Pilates Instructor
  • Certified Lagree Instructor
  • Lagree Prenatal + Postnatal Training
  • B.S. Consumer Economics & Finance, University of Illinois


"I have taken a lot of Pilates classes since becoming a mom and Amber’s class is by far my favorite. I leave her class feeling stronger and energized. I love that I can now see definition in my arms and abs. Her sunny disposition and fun, energizing music make working out feel more like a party and less like a grueling workout."

Kelly R.

"What started as a few moms wanting to move our bodies together after school drop-off has become one of the greatest gifts to come out of this past year. After everything our community experienced, Amber created so much more than a Pilates class, she created a place for us to come together, reconnect, heal, laugh, and feel strong again.

I look forward to these classes every single week. I know I’m going to get an incredible workout and be challenged. Not only has Amber helped strengthened my body, but these classes have also done so much for my mind and spirit."

Kelsey H.

“I’ve taken both in person and On Demand and it’s truly one of the BEST workouts of my life! You’ll be laughing, sweating, shaking, and getting stronger, all while having the best time.

I did one of Amber’s online workouts right before a really intense job interview, and to this day, I call that workout ‘THE WIN!’ I was so energized and pumped up that I carried that feeling with me the entire day. I went into that interview and absolutely CRUSHED IT!

That’s the magic of Amber and Palisades Pilates. It’s not just about getting stronger physically, it’s also about how incredible you feel mentally, too! Everyone needs a little Amber in their life!”
