LAURA CHALHOUB
FOUNDER/OWNER/INSTRUCTOR
Laura finds joy in creating positive, healthy experiences for others, as well as, a good sweat! In order to gain strength both mentally & physically it is imperative that a person pushes past their comfort zone & this is something Laura lives by!
​
Some things come full circle, & Laura’s career is one of them. Pulling from a variety of skills & experiences ranging between teaching kids aerobics, a degree in Fashion, ten years in NYC Hospitality, Laura found her way back to exercising when she moved to Singapore in 2015 & then began teaching after moving to Sydney.
​
If you ask Laura, one thing she repeatedly says about choosing Pilates as her foundation to fitness is that it is a way of movement that is suitable long term. Drawing from her own experiences & dedication for personal growth, Laura drives her clients to achieve their goals plus more! Her motto always goes back to strengthening the mind, in which the body follows!
​
Laura's classes will challenge you in the best way! Laura is also a certified Personal Trainer and is also pursuing her certification in Nutrition and KettleBell Training in 2025.
CHARLTON KELLEY
OWNER/INSTRUCTOR
Charlton has always had a passion for serving others, whether it’s her family, friends, or any team she is part of. She loves inspiring people to step out of their comfort zones and encouraging them to feel confident in their own bodies.
Fitness has been a part of Charlton's life for as long as she can remember, with her first passion being basketball. She played at the collegiate level while earning her degree at Birmingham Southern College, where she learned the importance of developing a strong, healthy body both in and outside of sports. Charlton graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and a minor in Psychology.
​
After college, Charlton sought a new passion to keep her connected to health and fitness. She was first introduced to Pilates in 2020, but it wasn’t until she found Laura and p96.STUDIO that she truly connected with this style of fitness. She instantly fell in love with athletic reformer Pilates and the unique method Laura taught.
​​
Even as an athlete, Charlton hadn’t always understood the importance of the mind-body connection. P96 keeps her connected to her inner athlete, and she’s eager to share her experience, helping others discover a passion for p96.STUDIO as she has.
​
Grateful to be part of this journey with p96, Charlton is proud to share its mission of health and wellness with everyone she meets.
Charlton is currently pursuing her Master’s in Business at Lipscomb and will be certified in Nutrition and Personal/Group Fitness Training by May 2025.
