Meet the Garcia’s

Owner - Master Pilates Instructor

Casey Garcia is a wife and mother of two young girls. She has been practicing Pilates since 2005, teaching since 2011. After a traumatic car accident at a young age she discovered a movement method that allowed her to feel strong from the center out. Pilates develops the deep stabilizers of the core leaving you ready and able to withstand the weight of life.

She studied under Mary J Brown in St. Louis, MO. Then moved to Scottsdale, AZ where she managed a studio. After gaining more experience she came home to build a practice in an area where Pilates is not as well known.

Pilates is not only her passion but also purpose. Taking a holistic approach to health & wellness Pilates is one of the 3 pillars. Move well, Eat well, Think well.

Pilates with Casey is a private training studio that is part of a larger facility, Growing Tree Resource Center. Many holistic services are offered here including homeschool enrichment, theater & music lessons, speech & language therapy and much more.

Health & Fitness Coach

Coach Mike began lifting weights to condition for football when he was 14 years old. Shortly after, he started changing his eating habits by eliminating soda. After high school Mike joined the United States Marine Corps. During his time of service he learned discipline and how to embrace adversity. Mike then became a certified personal trainer in 2009 shortly after his military service.

He realized early on in his career that there is more to well-being than eating and exercising. Seeking out more knowledge he found The CHEK Institute and eventually became a Holistic Health Practitioner. Now with a comprehensive mind & body approach to creating and sustaining ones well-being, there is no guessing or ‘shooting from the hip’ when it comes to achieving long term health & fitness goals.

Mike is a family man, a caring husband and a loving father of two fiery young girls. He is a living example of honor, courage & commitment. He also has been practicing regenerative agriculture since 2018 on a friends farm, Lucky Dog, located in Wentzville, MO. He has been a volunteer at Growing Tree Resource Center teaching kids fitness classes since 2020. Most importantly Mike is truly passionate about cultivating natural health and helping people who are ready & willing to take charge of their life and how they choose to live it. Mike is a compassionate human being who cares deeply for the well-being of all life on planet Earth.
