Who is John Garey?
JOHN GAREY IS A RENOWNED PILATES INSTRUCTOR AND FITNESS EXPERT.
He has traveled the world sharing his love of Pilates and health—and helping people find joy in movement and their inner strength through Pilates as a practice. His philosophy is centered around making workouts fun and approachable. Learn more about John Garey and how Pilates shaped him—and how he’s shaped the practice of Pilates.
HOW PILATES SHAPED JOHN GAREY’S LIFE
John Garey got his start in the fitness industry in the mid-’80s—he hasn’t stopped since. First, a Master’s Degree in Physical Education from NYU, then a fitness center job in Weehawken, NJ. That was the job that got him hooked on teaching group exercise. As they say, the rest is history.
JOHN GAREY IS A PILATES POWERHOUSE
John Garey is traditionally trained in Pilates. Yet, he’s developed his own style over time—and that style has moved and shaped Pilates at large. He brings athleticism and fun into his approach. People keep coming back for more because they love it and it brings them joy (not to mention the positive impacts on your body and mind).
Pilates has a bunch of styles: classical, dancey, and therapeutic, to name a few. John’s style is athletic and fun. His style evolved based on his experience and knowledge in traditional fitness, such as strength training, mobility training, and balance. Combined with his mastery of the traditional pilates repertoire, his workout programs are unique and effective. That’s why he’s a Pilates powerhouse.
