​Erika is excited to pursue her passion for Pilates through the Core Fit Pilates Apprentice Training Program. Erika fell in love with Pilates nearly a decade ago while living in San Diego. As a dancer from a young age, she was drawn to the way Pilates uses similar principles to strengthen, tone, and stretch the body. Erika has a Bachelor of Science in Radiation Therapy with a minor in Biology from UW-La Crosse. Erika looks forward to combining her pilates practice with her medical background and overall passion for wellness. Erika strives to lead classes that are fun, effective, and challenging. When not in the studio, Erika is either working as a radiation therapist or enjoying time with her husband and two young children.

​Hi my name is Mary Kate Essad. I am excited to be a Pilates Apprentice at Core Fit Pilates. I live in Germantown with my husband and two young children. I have a background in Irish Dance. I have Irish danced for over 12 yrs. I had the opportunity to compete in Feis, participated in performance troupes and was an instructor as well. Irish dance is a perfect fit with Pilates. It helps with balance, coordination, stamina and the mind and body connection. I am excited to incorporate my experience with Irish Dance and the love of Pilates with everyone at Core Fit. I look forward in meeting everyone soon.
