Pilates, Personal Training

Originally from Brazil, Carolina enjoyed movement from an early age. She explored different practices and modalities during her childhood: soccer, swimming, karate, and Capoeira — but it was dancing that ultimately captured her heart and eventually became a career path. That’s when Carolina discovered how Pilates and Strength Training were so important to keeping her body healthy and super strong. Those two pillars were essential to her back then as they are still now. After stopping dancing professionally, she knew what was coming next: teaching.

Carolina is passionate about helping others discover and explore movement, bringing forth their strength and confidence. Either through Pilates or Strength Training, she's a pro at making it fun, yet challenging!

Jane began her strength training journey the summer before her freshman year of college. Back then, Jane’s goals were entirely focused on the way her body looked and at the time, she was willing to do anything to achieve what she wanted. Over the years, this backfired. Jane was living an unsustainable life, full of restrictions. She was disconnected from her body and felt lost in her health and fitness journey.

Fast forward to 2019… Jane decided to take her power back. She got her personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine to help build confidence in the gym. Shortly after, Jane started her personal training career at Equinox and then in the Summer of 2020, she started her own brand, Movement & Mindset.

Since 2020, M&M has served thousands of people! The goal is to help people feel physically and mentally stronger by building confidence through fitness education.
