byMarnie is a curated life and lifestyle coaching method, with pilates as its foundation.

where it began: a note from our founder, Marlena

“I didn’t come to pilates through trend - I arrived by necessity.

After running six days a week for over a decade, my body had twisted and tightened into something unrecognizable. A friend gently suggested pilates, and so… I went. To say it was a “pivotal moment” is an understatement. It wasn’t instantaneous - though, it was undeniable. I returned to myself: stronger, more balanced… and just different - a really good different. 

I was all in. 

I chose to train at Pilates Academy International In New York City, completing a comprehensive certification across all equipment. Years later, I returned to certify as a Master Teacher Trainer. I felt called to share the method not just with clients—but with the next generation of teachers. Pilates is still at the heart of everything I do. And now, through the byMarnie method, I get to share it in the most authentic-to-me way.

This is not just a workout. It’s a recalibration.

What I teach is precise, potent, and curated for your real life. Whether you’re coming in as a client or a teacher-in-training, you’ll learn how to move from your center—both physically and energetically.I blend years of teaching experience with a deep understanding of alignment, core integrity, and breath.

My sessions go beyond choreography—they’re about connection. To your body, your power, and your place in the world.”
