The Studio: The SweatShop Health Club's commitment to quality providing training for fitness and health professionals is part of its now three-decade legacy. SweatShop founder and owner, Gayle Winegar, along with her staff of master fitness trainers, STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainers, and guest trainers provide everything from functional anatomy and personal training basics for the aspiring fitness or personal trainer to complete training, certification and continuing education, in STOTT PILATES INCLUDING both Intensive, and Comprehensive Matwork & Reformer courses complimentary training in Kettlebell, TRX Suspension, and more.
The SweatShop Health Club's cutting edge reputation is well deserved for its continual reinvention of fitness programming, holistic and inclusive approach to wellness and its commitment to the Fitness and Pilates community at large. The SweatShop began its Pilates program in 1993 and its STOTT PILATES on site professional training in 1994 with Moira Merrithew. The SweatShop Health Club has a healthy and continually growing private, group, Reformer and mat class business as well as hybrid Pilates programming.
As a longtime STOTT PILATES Licensed Training Center, the SweatShop staff has trained hundreds of Pilates professionals for clubs, clinics, private practice and centers under its original program director Jill Winegar and continues its outreach under the current program director Kelly Dormady. The current staff of STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainers brings breadth, depth, experience, intelligence and some humor to the full calendar of courses/workshops here at the SweatShop Health Club and to our hosted sites in Minnesota including Rochester, home to Mayo Clinic, North and South Dakota and Wisconsin. The SweatShop staff prides itself not only in delivering excelling training but support in setting up, developing and growing your Pilates business, including programming and marketing know how. Several times a year we invite guest Instructor Trainers from other Licensed Training Centrers as well as STOTT PILATES Headquarters and have been part of the STOTT PILATES World Tour.
The SweatShop is also accredited by the Minnesota Department of Education as a private institute of education.
