Brianne Clancy, Owner & Senior Pilates Instructor

Bri is a third-generation Pilates instructor trained within the lineage of Joseph Pilates and comprehensively certified through the Equinox Pilates Training Institute under Carrie Macy Samper. Prior to opening her studio, Bri’s Pilates journey started in 2021 during her Pilates Mat Certification where she fell in love with the method. She moved on to become a Senior Pilates Instructor at Equinox, where she was named a Top 50 Pilates Instructor in 2023 and 2024.

Movement and fitness have always been central to her life. She grew up dancing competitively, continued through college with both the UConn Dance Team and UConn Dance Company, and later taught at local dance studios.

The classical Pilates method has resonated with her more than any other form of exercise, and has helped her find patience and stability in her movement. Bri has experience working with clients of all ages and abilities. She brings passion, and inspiration to every session she teaches.
