  Stormie Partee

  Apprentice Instructor

  Stormie Partee is your everyday, west Texas gal! Originally from Big Spring, TX Stormie had a very active and athletic upbringing. Before graduating high school and moving the DFW to attend University of North Texas to study Risk Management and Insurance, she spent much of her time playing club volleyball and incorporated her love for the sport throughout her college years through intermural. In 2018, after suffering from her second knee injury (while playing volleyball) Stormie was introduced to Pilates through her rehabilitation specialist -- when Parkway Central opened their doors she was first in line! She immediately fell in love with the fitness program, and was committed to being in the studio every day the doors were open. She took her love for the program to the next level in July 2019, and decided to enter the Club Pilates Teacher Training Program with the goal of becoming a successful Club Pilates instructor. She currently continues to excel in the insurance industry and is Assistant Vice President / Associate Account Executive with Marsh Wortham, a division of Marsh USA Inc. Stormie is a devoted daughter, sister, ‘Auntie’ and most importantly, a Mom to two beautiful boys; Graham Alan and Carder Knox. One of her biggest hopes to come from Pilates is that her boys recognize the importance of a great fitness program and healthy lifestyle – to be a role model exerting strength, independence, positivity and determination. With all of those characteristics in mind, she wishes to spread her love for Pilates to every person she encounters.

  Jenni Powell

  Pilates Instructor

  I grew up in South Florida and therefore my first experience with physical activity mostly centered around swimming, scuba diving, and sand volleyball. I went to the University of Florida (go gators!) for an undergraduate degree in Geological Sciences and a graduate degree in Secondary Science Education. After graduating I moved to Maryland and became a high school science teacher teaching various ages and subjects for the next 14 years. There I met my husband, Chris, and had two kids Rebecca and Dylan. It was also there that I went on a hiking trip, fell, and greatly injured my lower back. After medication and lots of rest I started to work my way back to proper functionality through one-on-one training with a yoga instructor. Many years later I came upon a Club Pilates studio and fell in love. It combined everything I had known about yoga, aerobic exercise, and strength training. I will always have lower back problems but Pilates helps me to keep my core strong to manage the pain and led me through a major weight loss journey. After moving to Texas I decided to leave the public school system and put my passion into teaching that which I feel so strongly about; the art of Pilates. I am so excited to be an instructor at Club Pilates Parkway Central and to be on your fitness journey with you!
