Why Positive Life Solutions?

PLS is short for Positive Life Solutions. When I was in college I spent a lot of time figuring out what my passion and purpose was.

I was surprised to discover Pilates was much more than I ever realized. It’s not just abdominal work like most “Pilates classes” at the gym had toted. It is a whole method of progressively and gently strengthening your entire body, using mat work to equipment and apparatus. It was exactly what I was looking for.

After training intensively at Core Conditioning Studio with Master Instructor Crystal McCabe, I opened my own private practice in Des Moines Washington in 2008. I now teach clients how to establish awareness, strength and control of deep core muscles so that they can utilize it in every aspect of their life.

Welcome!

Hi, my name is Holly. I have more than 20 years of experience training clients to better their fitness and function. I have a bachelors of Science in Health & Fitness from Walla Walla University and I continually research and develop programs on posture and movement.

I worked as Personal Trainer both in health clubs and private studios before becoming a Pilates instructor. After several car accidents and sports-related injuries, I struggled to continue my previous physical activities. Talk about frustrating, especially for a fitness trainer! That’s when my Chiropractor recommended Pilates.

“I’ve personally worked with Holly as my trainer. Because of my busy schedule, I wasn’t finding the time to workout . I made the commitment to work with Holly and my appointments keep me consistent.”

Dr. Sides, N.D.

I heard of Holly from my massage therapist and local FB page. After meeting with her for an initial consultation, I knew that her positive, supportive personality and personal training style would help me reach my goals and improve my health.
