The New Studio of Northland Pilates

My name is Martha Byrnes, and I am the owner and instructor of Northland Pilates.  In May of 2023, I received my Group Mat and Reformer Pilates Certification from Breathe Education, based in Australia.  My coursework studied the original repertoire of Joseph Pilates in 20 weeks and was 100% online. In September of 2023, I opened my home studio. In February of 2025, I moved my studio to its new location.  My goal is to help you feel better in your skin, feel stronger, have more flexibility and range of motion, have a longer reach, and accomplish movements you never thought you could do.   

Here at Northland Pilates, effort matters.  YOU matter.

Northland Pilates is in a large, bright room with tall windows conveniently located in the Chester Park neighborhood.  It consists of 4 Allegro Reformers and currently offers 10-week Reformer Pack sessions throughout the calendar year.

I am married to Chris, and together, we have not only raised our three amazing children but are also enjoying our Grandchildren!

My younger self was a figure skater, a gymnast, a swimmer and a diver. Movement has always been a part of my routine. I have an autoimmune disease, and my body can react negatively to certain forms of exercise. When I found Pilates, my body fell in love with it! In 2005, I had a motorcycle accident that severely damaged my left knee. Reformer Pilates has done wonders for my strength, range of motion, and flexibility in my whole body, including my knee.
