Meet Co-Owner & Pilates Instructor

Bertha Turnbull

Bertha is a co-owner of Studio22 Pilates & Wellness and a passionate, people-centered teacher who finds joy in connecting with others through movement. She discovered Pilates in 2009 while searching for relief from back pain. After two years of consistent practice and profound personal results, she knew she wanted to share the method with others.

In 2012, Bertha completed her first certification through the Fletcher Pilates® Program, a unique system that blends classical Pilates with Ron Fletcher’s emphasis on breath, flow, and dynamic movement. She deepened her training in 2015 by completing the Fletcher Professional Program, an intensive, immersive experience focused on precision, teaching mastery, and the full movement vocabulary.

Bertha brings over a decade of teaching experience and a warm, attentive approach. She has a sharp eye for detail and a deep appreciation for form, but she also believes that movement should feel joyful and empowering. Her classes are equal parts work and fun—focused, yet welcoming—with plenty of room for laughter and connection. She loves making Pilates relatable to everyday life and helping clients feel strong, seen, and supported.

Bertha is also a certified Booty Barre® instructor and continues to grow through workshops, private sessions, and ongoing education.
