Franklin Method Educators & Trainers

Tracy Belcher is the founder and owner of Pilatay, a Pilates lifestyle blog, brand, and studio that celebrates the magic of the traditional Pilates system. She teaches both in-studio and virtual classical Pilates as well as Franklin Method workshops out of Pilatay’s Miami, FL-based studio, Pilatay – The Studio (pilatay.com). She is certified by Real Pilates (by Alycea Ungaro), Polestar Pilates, and Franklin Method®.
​
Tracy first found Pilates while working as a busy marketing and communications professional. She held corporate positions for more than 12 years, first designing and implementing strategic communications plans for business to business, consumer and nonprofit clients at a leading PR agency, and then leading all marketing and communications activities for the expansion and relocation of Miami’s flagship art museum to a new world-class facility on Biscayne Bay. During this time, she maintained a healthy body and sound mind through her dedicated Pilates practice, and began training to become a Pilates teacher in 2012. She fell in love with teaching and sharing the benefits of the practice, and began working part-time as a teacher. One certification led to another, one workshop to another, and it wasn’t long before her passion for Pilates became her primary focus and commitment. She now works full-time as a Pilates professional, but utilizes her communications experience as a consultant to studios and clients in the moment field, assisting with branding, writing, and strategic communications plans and activities.

Tracy’s teaching style is based on Joseph Pilates’ original principles and “Whole Body Health” philosophy, but combined with today’s scientific understanding of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and motor control, and scientific research findings in the areas of orthopedics, sports medicine and movement science. She uses a thoughtful and individualized approach to harness the power of Pilates and Franklin Method to facilitate long-term goal achievement including integration of the mind, body and spirit, and an overall enhanced quality of life.
