Plank Fitness is…
My home away from home. It's an innovative service-oriented studio, bridging contemporary pilates and fitness together for a perfect fusion. Plank's approach to a well-rounded safe, effective and results producing workout make this a perfect place for Antoni to bring his years of experience and coaching.

My favorite plank move is…
Sliding Reverse Lunge because it’s a great workout for the lower body and integrates balance and conditioning in it.

Chapman Hyatt

Chapman is super excited to be joining the Plank Fitness team as its newest instructor! Originally hailing from outside of Denver, Chapman spent his childhood in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and loves everything to do with the outdoors (except mountain lions). He loves to spend his free time hiking, cycling, running, skiing, acting, playing frisbee with his family and road tripping around the country’s best national parks.

Plank Fitness is…
A warm community dedicated to an effective and highly personalized approach to fitness. The team here at Plank are a group of consummate practitioners who find great joy in helping others become more aware of their body. During his time here Chapman’s gained a new level of appreciation for the knowledge and enthusiasm that every one of the instructors brings to their class.

My favorite plank move is…
The Hollow Rocks. It’s super intense but also kind of silly and makes you feel like you’re back in preschool again.

Three words that describe my teaching style…
Motivational, Fun, Playful

Megan Hill

After teaching dance for many years, Megan transitioned into the fitness industry where she has been working for the past three years. Megan's experience as a dancer has given her an innate knowledge of body movement, which has greatly aided her studies while completing the Plank Fitness instructor program. Megan holds a BFA in Dance Theatre and is excited to use all she has learned across both fields to better serve the Plank community. 

Plank Fitness is…
A safe place to better yourself. Plank's unique semi-private approach to group fitness creates a challenging atmosphere while simultaneously fostering an inclusive community of like-minded individuals.  

My favorite plank move is...
TRX deadlifts because they challenge you physically while requiring you to be fully present mentally.

Plank Fitness is…
A magical, character filled, Lower East Side gem. It’s a comforting, quiet space away from the buzz of the city outside that can be used to get the mind and body into alignment with personalized instruction that is tailored for each person’s body and progress. The small class sizes help to foster community and accelerate physical transformation as well. There’s such an eclectic, varied mix of people that come into the studio which I love because it contributes to the inclusive, quirky vibe that makes Plank what it is.

My favorite plank move is…
I love side lying leg work because it can be extremely challenging but feels amazing. It does a fantastic job of strengthening the gluteal muscles while increasing abdominal awareness, mobility and support in the hips.
