Caitlyn Williamson

Pilates Instructor

Caitlyn is a certified Pilates instructor, wife, and mom of two who discovered the power of Pilates through her own fitness journey. What began as a way to improve her physical health quickly became a source of confidence, strength, and balance in her everyday life.
As a busy mom herself, Caitlyn understands how important it is to carve out time for yourself and invest in your own wellness. Her passion is helping others feel stronger, healthier, and more confident through movement.
At Élevé, we believe wellness is about more than exercise—it’s about building a community that empowers women to rise together. Caitlyn’s heart for helping others and her love for Pilates make her a perfect fit for our studio family.

Cassidy Cannady

Pilates /Strength Instructor

Cassidy’s journey with Élevé began as a member. One of the things we love most about our community is seeing women discover new passions, build confidence, and step into opportunities they may never have imagined for themselves.
Cassidy is a wife, mom, former teacher, and current nursing student. She has been practicing Pilates for the past three years and recently earned her Pilates instructor certification. What started as a personal fitness journey has now grown into an opportunity to help inspire and encourage other women along the way.
Cassidy will be bringing a fresh Pilates Sculpt style to the schedule, blending Pilates fundamentals with a modern, energetic approach to movement. Her classes will offer members another fun way to build strength, challenge themselves, and experience a different take on Pilates training.

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, Whitney has a true gift for teaching. Her ability to communicate clearly, encourage others, and create a welcoming environment makes every class feel approachable, supportive, and fun.

Feel the Difference the Moment You Walk In

Stop by our Recovery Lounge and take a moment just for you

At Eleve, this space was created with intention-for women to walk in and instantly feel it. The calm. The energy. The vibe. The exhale you didn't know you needed. 

Every detail has been thoughtfully considered - from extra hair ties and dry shampoo to small touches like healthy snacks to go and cucumber water from our hydration station on your way out. 

More than a studio, this is a space where you can show up as you are, feel supported, and experience what it means to be truly cared for. 

Because this space was created for women, by a woman who understands that it's the small things that make you feel seen.
