Meet the Business Owner

Cindy Q.

Business Owner

Owner Cindy Qualls began taking Pilates as an addition to her fitness program. She found a fun and challenging exercise program that created a lean, strong and flexible body. Within a few months she knew this was the career for her.

She began her Authentic Pilates training (later known as Romana’s Pilates) in January of 2001 at the Pilates Studio of New York and finished in November of that same year. Cindy trained with Romana Kryzanowska, Sari Mejia Santo, and Juanita Lopez among others. Seminars and subsequent 600-​hour apprenticeship included lectures, physical participation, student teaching and independent study.

Certified and teaching since 2001, Cindy accesses a client’s abilities and goals to design an individual workout while modifying the exercises to accommodate for any injuries or weaknesses. Pilates of Memphis is based in Germantown, TN.

Originally from New Orleans, Cindy attended LSU and completed her Bachelor of Arts at the University of Memphis.
