Club Pilates

Rate & Review

I'm a certified Pilates Trainer/Fitness /Dance Instructor with years of experience. I've had the honor to manage fitness programs and facilities at the Commercial, Private and Government levels for the past 15 years. My love for Pilates beckoned me to open my Pilates studio in 2007.

Before my fitness journey began I danced professionally for Chuck Davis' company, The African American Dance Ensemble and taught Dance and Theater Movement within the school system. Originally from North Carolina, I have more than 20 years of Dance and Theater experience.

"Classical Pilates is my foundation, infusing contemporary methods and ancient disciplines. I impact the quality of life and reform physiques for those that entrust me with their Pilates practice".
"Pilates is my impetus to being my greater self thereby imparting my expertise to other Pilates practitioners alike and to inspire others in their pursuit of happiness".

"Get ready for the Teresa Experience!" A former gym rat with many years of hanging out with the guys lifting weights and also an avid runner with the DMV as my own personal playground. Over time, my body started to let me know that all that pounding of my joints wasn't going to sustain me for a lifetime and then there was "the fall"... walking over a water meter cover that wasn't secured to the ground changed everything. Excessive doctor appointments, chronic pain and hearing "you will never wear heels again" put me on a journey to repairing all the years of damage to my body as well as to my foot after my fall. Answering a random phone call, agreeing to try the free Intro class, and being introduced to the REFORMER was all it took to make me a believer. Not only did it help repair my entire body, but in addition, I also feel 20 years younger. Come hang out with me on the Reformer and I (along with the reformer) will assist you to restore your body back to optimal health.

A workout enthusiast and Georgia native, Devon Ray, enjoys helping students understand the mind body
connection that Pilates offers and helping students push themselves to uncover new limits.
Previous hobbies included running track, kick boxing, boxing, ranger challenge with ROTC, rock climbing,
football, weight lifting and volleyball. However, that all changed when she tore her achilles one day
while playing football. Her active lifestyle was brought to a screeching halt. She had no idea that this one
injury would lead to multiple surgeries, other injuries and being confined to crutches and a wheelchair
for over 4 years.
While unfortunate, this hardship is what led her to pilates. Pilates is the only practice that enabled her
to workout and strength train without putting excess weight on her leg. Moreover, pilates enabled her
to walk when nothing more could be done in physical therapy.
As a result, Devon brings a unique perspective on gauging ability especially when related to clients who
are recovering from sports injuries. She integrates her athletic background into class as her programs
are heavily influenced by a variety of sports and activities. Devon’s passion for overall wellness is vast as
she is currently pursuing certification as a Nutrition coach.

In 2018 Allan was introduced to the world of Pilates as a co-owner and instructor at Club Pilates Laurel. Allan is living his life’s dream by incorporating his 20 plus years as a strength coach, while growing in his knowledge and ability as a Pilates Instructor to train members and operate Club Pilates Laurel alongside his wife (Kim). My wife and I are determined to make each of our Club Pilates studios like a family where through sound training guidance, warmth and encouragement we journey with our CP Family Members to live healthy lifestyles. We hope to make Club Pilates a cornerstone for health and wellness in the community of Prince George’s County Maryland for many years to come.

Allan’s journey into the health and wellness industry began as a strength coach started in 1998. He became certified and began coaching at small studios in Delaware and Maryland. Allan quickly recognized the need to learn new training methods and approaches to better suit the needs of his clients.

Allan believes exercise should be a regular part of everyone’s lifestyle habits which is why he really enjoys relating to and having fun with his clients as he sees them improving in their movement quality, strength and endurance. He is adept at designing and implementing programs for a wide spectrum of populations.

Allan has a BA degree in Criminal Justice from Hampton University. He holds the following certifications: Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist; FMS/certified, having learned how to identify and improve movement imbalances through corrective exercises; Level-2 StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor. This certification is one of the more grueling certifications in the fitness industry requiring 3 straight days of intense training designed to test your physical proficiency, stamina and strength. Out of a class of over 60 individuals Allan was one of the one third that was able to achieve this status.

Ashley has always been a fitness enthusiast from playing soccer, running track, hiking, ballet,
you name it, until ACL, meniscal and rectus femoris tendon tears led to multiple surgeries. Even
after those things, Ashley found a new passion for CrossFit however she was mindful of the
need to fully rehabilitate her injuries and recover range of motion not just to be better at
weightlifting but in movement through life. Enter Pilates. Since her first class, Ashley was called
to the concepts of Contrology and the mindful awareness it calls to the body. It was like an
extension of physical therapy that lends itself to the mind as well. After years of practicing,
Ashley decided to pursue Pilates instruction to bring the benefits she experienced to others.
