Meet Your Guide: Gen
Founder & Lead Instructor | Movement Expert Since 1999
I believe movement should make you feel alive, not exhausted. With a career spanning over two decades, I’ve been a dedicated Pilates instructor since 1999. I founded Inner Balance in 2002 because I saw a need for a smarter, more intuitive approach to fitness here in Erie—one that prioritizes your progress and your safety over the "grind" of a typical gym.
My philosophy is simple: Master the small things to reach the big goals. I’ve designed our programs to be a total body reset. Life is busy and often draining; your time in the studio shouldn't be. My favorite part of the day is watching a client arrive feeling "down" or depleted and leave feeling vibrant, refreshed, and standing a little taller.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, training for a milestone, or simply looking to feel better in your own skin, I am here to help you navigate your personal Roadmap.
After 27 years in this studio, I am still convinced of one thing: Everyone deserves to feel good in their own body.

The Power of 6:
We never host more than 6 students at a time. Why? Because your alignment is too important to be lost in a crowd.

PILATES INSTRUCTOR
I’m a retired dancer with over 40 years of teaching experience, including 24 years dedicated specifically to the art of Pilates. My expertise lies in helping you find your strongest, most aligned self. I love tailoring every workout to your unique goals so you leave the studio feeling both physically challenged and mentally refreshed. I’ll always be your biggest cheerleader (though I might squeeze in 'two more' reps when you aren't looking!).

ELIZABETH
PILATES, YOGA & PERSONAL TRAINER
I became a Pilates instructor because I wanted to be the kind of teacher who makes you feel truly seen. With eight years of experience across Yoga, Pilates, and Personal Training, I believe sustainable growth happens when you work with your body, not against it. My sessions are intentional, customized, and usually full of offbeat analogies to help you find your form. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, but I’ll also kindly call you out when those shoulders start creeping up toward your ears!
Fluent Greek speaker. Devoted Schnoodle mom. Lavender everything. Dusk is my favorite hour.

OUR APPRENTICES
JEN
Learning how my body moves and gets stronger over time has meant so much to me, and it’s a big reason I felt inspired to start teaching. I hope to help others feel supported, capable, and more confident in their bodies, whether they’re recovering, building strength, or just trying something new.
TORI
I started taking Pilates when I was 12 as a part of my dance training. I think Pilates is such a unique form of exercise that is so beneficial and inclusive to many different bodies and abilities. I want to become an instructor to make it more accessible and to share the benefits with others.
