About me

Meet Beth Bennardo
Expert. Educator. Lifelong Practitioner.

Beth has been practicing Pilates in her own body since 2005 and has been professionally teaching since 2015. She is Comprehensively Certified through Power Pilates in NYC, having completed over 600 hours of intensive classical training — a method that stays true to the original teachings of Joseph Pilates.

Over the years, Beth has trained hundreds of clients across New York, Charlotte, and Cashiers, NC, helping people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels rediscover strength, mobility, and confidence. She is well-versed in adapting classical exercises to accommodate injuries, chronic conditions, and unique body needs, ensuring each session is safe, effective, and personalized.

Beth doesn’t just teach Pilates — she lives it. She maintains a daily practice, trains weekly with a master-level teacher, and continuously expands her knowledge through ongoing workshops and continuing education.

Her passion for classical Pilates is more than professional — it’s personal. She deeply believes that mindful, consistent movement is transformative, and she’s dedicated to helping her clients feel stronger, healthier, and more connected to their bodies.
