The Evolve Team
Meet Amy, Founder of Evolve
Evolve Pilates + Fitness began with personal experience and a clear vision. Amy discovered Pilates over a decade ago, and was initially drawn to how it builds strength, awareness, and a deep mind-body connection. After stepping away during a busy season of life, an injury brought her back to the method and shifted her perspective on how Pilates can truly support the body. It became more than exercise; it became a tool to rebuild strength with intention.
This experience led Amy to pursue classical Pilates training and eventually create Evolve, a space where classical Pilates and strength training complement each other. Amy brings a deep foundation of knowledge and experience to her work. She is a Nationally Certified Pilates Instructor, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist, a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through IIN, and a Nutrition Therapy Practitioner through NTA.
Her intention is to create a space that feels warm, personal, and thoughtfully considered where supportive instruction and intentional movement come together to help you feel better in your body.
Amy designed Evolve for everyone, whether new to Pilates or deepening their practice, with the goal that each client leaves feeling balanced, strong, aligned, and supported.
Get to Know Emma
What first drew you to Pilates?
I was first drawn to Pilates because of the flow and precision. I come from a movement/dance background and it felt very in line with that.
What’s something Pilates has taught you (on or off the mat)?
We are always changing. And meeting yourself in that change is where growth happens.
What do you enjoy most about teaching?
I enjoy getting to know people through classes. There is a fun atmosphere that is created in a pilates class that feels like a place to be creative and grow together. As well as watching them achieve and succeed week after week.
What do you hope people feel when they leave your class?
I hope they leave feeling at peace in their minds and bodies.
What are you most looking forward to once the studio opens?
A new community of people! It is always exciting to be a part of something new.
What's your favorite spot in Minnetonka (coffee shop, restaurant, or other)?
I love the Grocer’s Table restaurant. But I also love Munka-Beans coffee shop - it is a very nostalgic place for me!
What’s your go-to morning drink?
Go to morning drink is honey and lemon tea or the occasional iced coffee!
