ABOUT
DEIRDRE CALDARONE

I’ve been a classically trained Pilates instructor for over 15 years. As my career evolved, I have studied with highly experienced mentors and continue to hone my teaching skills by travelling to workshops, conferences, and seminars. I am always trying to improve so that my clients are getting my best effort to teach with safety and expertise. I have taught in my private studio in Toronto as well as many other studios in Massachusetts and Texas.


Pilates is the only form of exercise that I have found to be sustainable to keep me mentally focused and physically challenged every time I practice. I strive for perfection, but always learn something new. It just never gets dull. Movement heals everything. Mind and body, physical and mental - you always feel better when you practice Pilates.


I use all top of the line Gratz apparatus in my boutique studio; Reformer, cadillac, mat, tower, ladder barrel, spine corrector and more! Join me for a private or duet session and feel what a classical Pilates session can do for you!
