Our Instructors

Brenna Lyons

Brenna is the founder and lead instructor of 189 Pilates in Fairport, New York.

The name 189 comes from her grandfather’s address in East Aurora - one of her favorite places growing up. That feeling of warmth and connection is what she wanted to bring to the studio.

Brenna discovered Pilates while searching for a smart way to stay strong and injury-free as a runner. From her very first session, she was hooked. She loves that Pilates is truly for everyone, something she experienced firsthand while pregnant with her son, Nolan. The method supported her body through every stage and helped her stay strong and mobile.

BASI-trained and teaching since May 2024, Brenna teaches Pilates using the BASI block system with an athletic approach. She spent her first two years teaching at 12th St Pilates in Cincinnati, Ohio. She created 189 Pilates as an intimate studio with only six spots per class and 45-minute sessions, ensuring each client receives real attention and quality work.

She has had the opportunity to work with movers of all ages in both group and private sessions. Her goal is to help people build strength, mobility, and confidence in a welcoming environment.
