Troy bernritter

Troy's journey into fitness began during one of the most challenging seasons of his life. After being laid off from a company he deeply loved, he turned to Pilates in search of renewed purpose. What started as personal healing quickly became a passion for helping others discover their own strength through movement.

He began teaching Powerhouse's FIIT program before apprenticing under Marissa Wilson, where he studied Pilates, anatomy, tactile instruction, and intentional cueing. Since beginning his teaching career in 2023, Troy has taught more than 500 hours and built a reputation for thoughtful coaching, authentic connection, and classes that challenge clients while making them feel supported.

Today, Troy leads People, Culture & Operations, combining his background in recruiting with his passion for developing instructors and building a studio culture rooted in excellence, connection, and community. His long-term goal is to become a Lagree Master Teacher and help educate the next generation of instructors around the world.
