Staff/Instructors

Debra Wade
Studio owner Debra Wade was born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA.  Debra was introduced to Pilates in 1994 at a personal training convention. Anxious to learn more about this incredible form of exercise, she went home to Virginia Beach to find an instructor.  Unfortunately, no one had ever heard of Pilates.  Debra moved to Richmond, Virginia six months later, found a certified instructor and started taking private lessons.

Debra got her Pilates certification through The Physical Mind Institute two years later and started teaching mat classes at two different locations in Richmond.  She also introduced Pilates to Capital Physical Therapy Associates, and developed an exercise program with the firm’s existing patients to help them reach optimal function in their daily lives.  Debra moved to Huntsville in 2001 and opened Body Re-Form Pilates Fitness Studio in 2002 as a fully equipped Pilates studio. She is currently working on another Pilates certification through Peak Pilates Systems and is a certified personal trainer through AFAA, a Yamuna Body Rolling instructor.  She is an advanced practitioner in Directional Healing, an energy healing therapy and a healing system called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).  She offers private instruction in Pilates, Directional Healing and EFT.  Workshops are regularly offered in Yamuna Body Rolling.  Debra and her husband have two grown children and two dogs.  She enjoys traveling, gardening, hiking, and especially Pilates!

Annette Beresford
Annette, a native of Australia, moved to Huntsville 2002.  Annette was introduced to Pilates here in Huntsville and went to Springfield, Missouri to become certified through Stott Pilates in both Reformer and Mat.  Annette moved to Virginia in 2003 for two years and while living in Virginia, she also became a certified YogaFit instructor.  Annette has been practicing yoga for 11 years and teaching yoga for the past 4 years.

Myra Peterson
Myra was born and raised in Gadsden, Alabama.  She graduated from the University of Alabama in Birmingham with a degree in Elementary Education.  She taught school for several years and left teaching to become the Community Development Coordinator for Children’s Hospital in Birmingham.  Myra tried many forms of exercise over the years but could not find one to hold her interest for any length of time until Pilates.  She started taking Pilates classes in 2002 and saw a wonderful transformation in her entire body.  After compressing a vertebra in her back in 2005 in a diving accident, Pilates helped her regain flexibility and strength in her back. Myra is certified to teach Pilates mat and currently teaches the Beginning Pilates Mat Class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Myra’s infectious personality has created a loyal following of Pilates enthusiasts.
