Brittany is the founder of Fairfax Pilates and a fully certified Pilates instructor and Athletic Training specialist with STOTT PILATES® since 2007.
Among her vast experience with functional movement and performance training techniques are qualifications from CORE™, TRX® and two different Barre methods. She has extensive training with golf and sports conditioning, plus professional and personal experience with pre/post natal Pilates. Her teaching style is dynamic and vibrant and students say they love the challenge she brings to the workouts.
Prior to opening Fairfax Pilates, she founded and co-owned REV Pilates Gym, was the Pilates Coordinator at Equinox in Tysons Corner and also taught Pilates credit courses at George Mason University as an adjunct professor.
Personally, Brittany has a passion for functional medicine, biohacking and all things fitness. When she’s not spending time with her children, you’ll find her reading, listening to podcasts, traveling or on the tennis court.
Terri’s love of food started long ago... But it was a love of good-for you-food. She grew up eating healthy foods at home. Her mom loved going to the farmer’s markets, and serving fresh fruits and vegetables. She had the healthy habits of good nutrition and staying active instilled in her at a young age. She played soccer from the time she was 5, and into college and beyond.
She developed various health conditions in her 40’s and early 50’s, so nutrition has been a vital aspect of her healing process. She enjoys sharing the benefits of healthful eating so much that she earned her certification in holistic nutrition. Putting good nutrition together with a regular pilates routine has been the perfect combination for success. This has allowed her to do many of the things she thought she wasn’t able to do anymore.
This includes hiking, playing with her dogs, enjoying the great outdoors and traveling. Terri has spent many years living overseas, including in Zimbabwe, Russia and Paraguay, with her husband (and 4 children, now ages 18-23).
Managing the studio as well as the nutrition program is the best of both worlds for Terri. Book a consultation today and learn more about finding your recipe for success!
Mandy Waddell is a certified Level 1 & 2 STOTT PILATES® instructor. As a stay at home mom, she began doing pilates in 2010. What started as a fun class to do with her friends turned into a desire to see how far she could progress through the repertoire and get her body in shape. After experiencing the benefits from regularly attending classes for 5 years, including pre and post natal sessions, she took the matwork and reformer course under the guidance of Judith Amira at The Pilates Studio in Harare, Zimbabwe. She became a STOTT PILATES® certified instructor in 2015. After relocating back to Northern Virginia in 2015 with her husband and 3 children, she has become a STOTT Pilates® trained instructor in Cadillac, Stability Chair and Barrels and obtained certifications in Total Barre and TRX.
Mandy has found her passion teaching clients and classes in Fairfax, Virginia. She loves how pilates brings awareness to the mind & body connection. She teaches clients how to use muscle awareness to move their bodies with ease and control - in and out of the studio. She loves that no matter what point you are on your life path, pilates can see where you are and take you to where you want to be.
Sheila Clark is an AFAA certified and Polestar educated fitness professional. She has been instructing group exercise classes in the Northern Virginia Washington Metropolitan region for over 6 years.
AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of American) certification requires training in muscle groups, injury prevention, warm-up stretches, and strengthening. The Polestar Fitness Programme was designed for fitness professionals to incorporate Polestar Pilates-evolved exercises into their training regimens. Polestar is based on the early theories of Joseph Pilates, and the concept of "contrology," with specific advice regarding posture, body mechanics, correct breathing, spinal flexibility, and physical education.
Sheila's background stems from an array of fitness techniques including: Polestar Pilates Education Beginner through Intermediate and Advanced, Mat I, Mat II, and Mat III with props, Core Intense workshops by Reebok University that also include Core Board, Flexible Strength, One to One Flexibility, Pilates with Props, and Pilates Reformer training. Sheila has also completed many courses with STOTT PILATES®.
Susan is your typical working mom who leans in. She found Pilates through good friend and master pilates instructor Brittany Clark. She instantly fell in love with the gentle, challenging, and effective total body toning. She found that improving her core created improved mobility and enabled her to get in better shape to tackle other forms of exercise that she enjoys. Having struggled with her weight her whole life, including morbid obesity, Susan understands the nature of compulsive overeating, and the mental grind of the weight gain and loss cycle. She finally got serious about her health and fitness, when she had a daughter and wanted to become a better food and exercise role model for her. Susan decided to go through STOTT PILATES® training because she wants to help others permanently break the obesity cycle and become the best version of themselves - for good. Today, Susan is able to maintain her weight and live an active lifestyle by making her daily fitness regimen a top priority. Everyone in her family has not only benefited from her improved mood and vitality, they too have taken a healthier path and focus on healthy eating and exercise as an essential part of their daily self care. Susan is a Level 1 certified STOTT PILATES® instructor.

Joshua didn't seek out Pilates over 18 years ago as a new way of living, it found him. Retiring from a career as a professional ballet dancer with Ballet Theatre of Maryland and Columbia City Ballet, Pilates was the next logical step. He never knew how many lives would change as a result of signing up for a few classes.
His original training came from Power Pilates, then Peak Pilates, and finally Balance Body. He also received his Pilates Method Alliance Certified Teacher certification in 2017. Additionally, he was a Master Trainer for Club Pilates, teaching other teachers how to become instructors.
He has taught in four of the Top Ten Pilates Studios in NYC. He taught in studios with Best-Selling authors Brooke Siler, "The Pilates Body" and former owner of re:AB Soho and Alycea Ungaro, "The Pilates Promise" and owner of Real Pilates: Tribeca. While at Real Pilates: Tribeca Joshua also worked next to teacher and author Daniel Lyons, "Pilates for Men." NYC was a wealth of information and inspiration at every turn.
Joshua’s teaching style has been mentioned on Oprah.com, FOXNews.com, and UnderArmour.com for his work that he did with triple-negative breast cancer survivor Jennifer Griffin.
Pilates is one of the most empowering tools Joshua has ever discovered. Pilates is an art to be worked towards every day. The teaching, the passion, and the uniqueness of each day have made this a priceless journey.
