Meet Your Instructors

Chris and Sheron Parks

Owners & Instructors

A husband-and-wife team who love sharing Pilates with others. Both Chris and Sheron are Nationally Certified Pilates Teachers, each trained through Balanced Body's comprehensive 500-hour program.

Sheron has practiced Pilates for more than 20 years after discovering how it eased her chronic back pain. Alongside her NCPT, she's a Barre Above instructor and a Pregnancy & Post-Natal Corrective Exercise Specialist. Her teaching is calm, supportive, and mindful — while still challenging you to progress.

Chris came to teaching from a background in coaching and construction, after Pilates resolved his own low-back and hip pain. His style is encouraging, positive, and challenging — focused on getting real results while keeping your alignment safe.

Why Practice Pilates With Us

Feel better in your own body.

Our studio is in Salem, SC across from Keowee Key on Hwy 130. We keep it intentionally small — five reformers and towers — so every client receives focused, personalized guidance. We're open Monday through Friday, with class options during the day as well as evening and early-morning times for working clients. Private sessions are booked by appointment.
