Chris Ortiz

Chris has worked in the corporate and public wellness field for over 30 years. Her extensive background includes working as the Program Manager and Fitness Specialist at Lockheed Martin and the Denver Federal Center, owning her own personal training service, and assisting in physical therapy clinics. Chris received her Stott Pilates certification in 2009 while rehabing a back injury. Seeing first hand the benefits of Pilates, she started her own business Pilates Palooza, LLC, joined up with FPC in 2010 and never looked back!

She receives education credits from multiple resources to expand her knowledge.

Chris is very passionate about helping her clients improve their quality of life through Pilates. By keeping her classes small, she can address each client's needs, whether it is rehabing an injury, fighting off the aging process, or general fitness. Chris strongly believes that Pilates doesn't just strengthen your body but also your mind, spirit and sport.



In her free time, you will find Chris outdoors either mountain biking with her husband, running, swimming, walking her dog Hazel or hanging out with her 2 sons.
