Hi! I’m Tricia, Welcome to Flip Dog Pilates!
I have been teaching fitness classes and a personal trainer for over 30 years. I graduated with a Kinesiology degree from Penn State University. I am a certified Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor, and Yoga Instructor. I am also a Certified Precision Nutrition Health and Nutrition Coach and Fit 4 Mom Pre/Post Natal Certified. I began my fitness career In Doylestown teaching Pilates, Water Aerobics, and Personal Training. In 2009 I moved to San Francisco with my husband. There I was an International Pilates Instructor Trainer. I had the incredible opportunity to travel and help open studiosin Bogota and New York City by certifying instructors in a Reformer and Barre program that I helped to create.
I am excited to continue building this beautiful and supportive community at Flip Dog. I want you to come to the studio to take time for yourself. I belive in the power of community and that we can all empower each other to live our healthiest life.
When I'm not at the studio you can find me having fun on adventures with my husband, J.B. and my son, Cade.
Mary Cait (she/her) is a Bucks County native and graduate of Temple University. In 2012, she began a career in Social Work and found Pilates. The mind-body connection that Pilates provided, proved to be an incredible way to help process the challenges of her direct-service work with children through her position at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bucks County. She loves the sense of wellness and community that group fitness can bring about when people feel good in their bodies, both physically and mentally! She decided to turn her passion for Pilates into a career when when she discovered the 450 hour Drexel University Pilates Training Program in 2022. She feels strongly that Pilates is gender inclusive, can be practiced at any age and is the perfect exercise medium for all physical abilities to find strength and increased mobility. When she isn’t at Flip Dog, she’s out exploring the world with her daughter, Winona, and her spouse, Andrew!
Hi, my name is Sonia and I live in Doylestown, PA with my husband and two growing boys. I am a Bucks county native. My husband moved from Philadelphia to Bucks county and we met entering our 5th grade year of elementary school in Southampton, PA. I discovered Pilates in high school. Over the years I took many mat classes at varying facilities. I love the focus, centering, intention and mindfulness that comes with the Pilates practice. I was introduced to reformer Pilates in 2019 while being in a transitional period with my former career in marketing/telecommunications. At that time I really fell in love with the practice and decided to become an instructor. At the end of 2019, I completed 500 hours of training and became a certified instructor. My training had both a classical and contemporary focus. Over the years, my journey has brought much more interest to the classical repertoire and I enjoy blending my classes with both methods.
