Lourdes came to know Pilates in April 2019 at her local Club Pilates in Coppell, Texas. As with many students of franchise studios, they were left with a burning desire to know more about the original work and the classical Pilates style that is only found at smaller privately owned boutique Studios like Century Pilates in Arlington, Texas. Lourdes immediately fall in love with the culture of the Pilates studio. She was looking for a complete workout to help strengthen her core and reduce back complications as well as meet people as she was new to Texas by way of Chicago.

Lourdes loves that teaching. Pilates has given her the opportunity to keep her brain and her body sharp and she loves that it’s a full body workout that can be done daily for the rest of her life. A classical studio and a classical program because it’s practice is the closest to Joe Pilates himself and how he intended the movements and all the equipment available in the classical Pilates studio to be used as a system. She decided on Century Pilates 600 Hour 4th generation teaching certifcation and she saw it was a way to develop her body and to teach others and grow a small business for herself one day.

Lourdes actually has a full-time job as a leader in human resources focused on diversity partnership that builds talent pipelines. She works remotely and only goes into the office occasionally for business meetings. Most of the day she sits at a desk and will stand occasionally on conference calls. Lourdes holds bachelors degree in applied business marketing. She is a project management certified from Loyola university Chicago business school and hold several certifications in human resources, diversity leadership, and business.

Lourdes is proud to celebrate 18 years of marriage to the love of her life, Barnette! She has two sons Armando 38 and Isaiah 20 her older son Armando has two sons Kalani 13 and Eli 12 all are in Chicago and her son Isaiah lives with she and Barnett her bonus kids are 35 and 22, her 35-year-old has three children. All of her family lives in Chicago and suburbs.

Three things that most people don’t know about Lourdes is her age that she is bilingual and that she does stress about things. Lord loves nothing more than to travel close to an ocean as in Puerto Rico and she loves puzzles. The 1000 piece puzzles are her favorite.

When you’re taking a class specifically with Lourdes , she hopes that you feel challenged and good about trusting her with your wellness journey. She hopes that you want to return so that you can become stronger and allow her to help you in Pilates and your practice.
