Meet Tara

In 2018, she earned her 500-hour comprehensive Pilates certification and began her career at a local Pilates studio, where she served not only as an instructor but also managed event planning and social media. One year later, she opened her first small studio out of her home and joined Dynamic Pilates TV, an app owned by renowned instructor Tiffany Burke. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the platform became one of the top-selling Pilates apps, an experience she describes as both formative and meaningful.

In 2022, she and her husband co-founded The Pilates Sculpt Studio, opening two locations simultaneously. Both studios received local recognition in their first year, earning titles such as Best Fitness Center – Chapin and Best Pilates Studio – Columbia. Over the past three years, she has hosted continuing education workshops, welcomed instructors from across the country, and led CEC programs. Her work has extended into the athletic community as well, training varsity teams at local high schools and collaborating with collegiate programs. After being contacted by the University of South Carolina football department, she led her third annual eight-week Pilates clinic and has since worked with multiple coaches and athletic departments at USC. At the end of 2025, she proudly expanded the brand with the opening of a third studio location in the Northeast.

An athlete since the age of three, she competed in soccer and basketball through the collegiate level and gained early coaching experience working with youth varsity camps—sparking a lifelong passion for mentorship. Her personal Pilates journey began more than 15 years ago after a serious injury left her briefly paralyzed. Through extensive physical therapy and a gradual return to movement, she experienced firsthand the power of Pilates as a rehabilitative and healing practice. Since becoming certified, she has continued to pursue advanced education and training, always prioritizing ethical instruction and lifelong learning. In 2026, she was voted Best Personal Trainer in Columbia by the Free Times Post and Courier.

She credits her faith, her supportive husband, and her family for making her journey possible. A mother of four, she considers motherhood her most important role and hopes her children will remember that with faith, integrity, and hard work, any goal is achievable
