About Northland Pilates
My Training
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 out of 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. My goal is to help you feel better in your own skin, to feel stronger, have more flexibility and range of motion, a longer reach and to accomplish movements you never thought you could do.
Here at Northland Pilates, effort matters. YOU matter.
My Studio
Northland Pilates is located in the Lakeside neighborhood nestled in a wooded landscape with breathtaking views of Lake Superior.
The studio is in a bright room with large windows within the comfort of my home. It consists of 2 Allegro Reformers and offers three options of private sessions:
Private (1:1) - Just For You
Semi-private (2:1) - You and a Pal
Online Private (1:1) - Just For You
I work with a limited number of clients to ensure their movement goals are noted, worked on and reached.
About Martha
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.
