Coach GILMOUR trained under Isabelle Hill in England: Isabelle was a retired French Ballerina who taught Pilates and Ballet in London, England. Isabelle Hill worked with Joseph Pilates before he moved away from Europe and kept in contact during his time in New York. Isabelle Hill is credited with continuing the raw beginnings of the Pilates method in England from those very early days. After studying under Isabelle Hill, Coach GILMOUR eventually moved back to the United States where she studied under Christie Brehm in Texas. Christie Brehm was trained by Ron Fletcher, and Ron Fletcher (like Isabelle Hill) was trained by Joseph Pilates. The depth of knowledge and understanding of Pilates gained from this quality of training has been carried into the current generation by Coach GILMOUR at Pilates of Champions where she has continued in the true spirit of Pilates Neuromuscular Exercise and added many innovative exercises accross the full range of equipment using her expertise in Kinesiology and Exercise Science. A few moments spent with Coach GILMOUR will quickly reveal a wealth of knowledge, practical application and teaching experence in Athletic Exercise Science. Her development and teaching of Pilates Neuromuscular Exercise Methods are considered among the best in the world.
