Gordon Overbye comes to Pilates from a lifetime in the athletics world. A long-time competitive distance runner in track and field, Gordon started Pilates in 2000 after sustaining a hamstring injury, became immediately hooked, began teaching in 2003, and joined Pilates on 10th in early 2006. He is fully certified as an instructor on the Pilates apparatus and mat by Gail Anderson at Balance Within in Redmond, Washington, by Marlina Lee at PowerHouse Pilates in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii and has also studied with Cathie Murakami at Synergy Systems in Encinitas, CA.

Gordon draws on his diverse backgrounds in project management, mechanical engineering, as well as years in improvisational theater with Synergy Trust in Los Angeles to plan and develop the progress of his clients, blending strength and flexibility into his sessions. He runs and practices yoga regularly.
