About the Owner
Debra M. Butler is the primary teacher at the Pilates Fusion Center. Through a wide range of experiences she has cultivated diverse skills in the fields of fitness and dance for over 24 years. Some of those experiences range from personal training and group fitness, to teaching a wide variety of movement and dance classes while participating as a performer with a modern dance company.
After suffering a number of injuries, most of which were related to poor alignment, she decided to start doing PILATES. Through her workouts, she became stronger, more connected to her core, and learned to correct some of the muscular imbalances and joint instabilities which were the source of many of her injuries. It became clear that PILATES was an INTELLIGENT WAY TO EXERCISE, and she has never looked back.
Debra became certified through the PhysicalMind Institute to teach PILATES in 1999. Additional training includes a teacher training intensive at The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado in 2001, and completion of the comprehensive teacher certification program offered by Power Pilates in March, 2005. (The Pilates Fusion Center is also certified as a Participating Training Studio for apprentice teachers currently training in the Power Pilates educational program.) Most recently Debra has proudly achieved "Gold Certification" through the Pilates Method Alliance, an internationally recoginized organization which is responisible for setting professional standards for the Pilates industry.
Debra believes that continuing education in her field is absolutely essential, and she'll continue to keep her skills and education up-to-date in order to offer YOU the best PILATES instruction possible.
The Pilates Fusion Center is Debra's first studio, and it is her dream come true! Thanks to the support and encouragement to pursue her vision by friends and family, she is very excited to be the first PILATES studio in the Kennett Square area.
