Meet Paige, a powerhouse of precision, poise, and purpose. A proud Providence, Rhode Island native, Paige graduated from the United States Naval Academy with a degree in Mathematics before launching into a high-flying career as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Navy. At 29, she has deployed to both the 4th Fleet for counter-narcotics operations and the 6th Fleet aboard USS Mount Whitney during BALTOPS exercises — proving she’s as strong in the skies as she is in the studio.
Now blending her love of movement with her disciplined background, Paige brings structure, strength, and grace to every Pilates session. Her favorite move? Side-lying legs, a deceptively simple series that fires up the core and sculpts with intention.
When she's not on the mat or in the cockpit, you’ll find Paige indulging in her favorite things: the color pink, chocolate-covered strawberries, a rewatch of Charmed, or a walk with her black lab Lily. She's a proud member of the Beyhive and channels that same confidence into her classes.
