Meet Mindy Stackpoole

" I teach Pilates because it helped me find my way back. "

After breast cancer surgeries left Mindy with limited mobility, Pilates helped her restore movement and address years of back and neck discomfort. Later, after injuring her knee in a fall from her horse, she used the same principles to rebuild and return to riding.

That experience shapes how she coaches women dealing with pain, limited movement, poor sleep, midlife changes, and the frustration of no longer trusting what their bodies can do.

“My favorite moment is when a client tells me about something she stopped doing and is doing again, or something she never thought her body was capable of.”

Gail, 58
“Pilates with Mindy has brought back my love of exercise. Some days are harder than others, but I never consider skipping.”

Common questions

You do not need to “get in shape” first.

Most clients begin because they want help feeling stronger, steadier, and more comfortable moving.

No. Most clients begin as complete beginners. Mindy explains the equipment, movement, and setup step by step.

Yes. Mindy’s own recovery from a knee injury sustained in a horse fall informs the way she coaches equestrians and anyone rebuilding strength after injury, surgery, or chronic pain. Every session is adapted to your history and current ability rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Recent injuries or new medical concerns should be evaluated by an appropriate healthcare professional first.

Semi-private classes are capped at three clients so Mindy can coach, adapt, and refine movement throughout each session. Because the studio is nearly at capacity, openings can go quickly, especially Tuesday and Thursday.

The best frequency depends on your goals, schedule, and available class times. Momentum includes options for one, two, or three sessions per week.
