  Ranchezca Vicente

  Ranchezca teaches Pilates because she believes in it. Pilates has taught her a foundation of movement that no other form of exercise has. Growing up, she danced competitively, but faced many injuries and felt the wear and tear in her joints. With the help of Pilates, she was able to gain much needed strength, flexibility, stability and most importantly, the ability to move efficiently with awareness. She teaches because she wants to share with others what Pilates has given her. Ranchezca is also motivated to help clients reach their goals. She feels accomplished when she see bodies change and when clients mention that they feel “stronger, longer, and better” from Pilates. Increasing energy levels, turning up the music and getting people sweaty, is her forte. Teaching at Club Pilates has allowed Ranchezca to expand her passion into a career and grow as an individual. Each day she has the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s day and be part of their journey. She is living the dream!
