Who We Are
© FitLAB Pilates LLC, 2009
Sarah Carr, Studio Director, Co-Owner
STOTT PILATES© Certified Instructor (Mat, Reformer, CCB)
AFAA Certified Group Exercise Instructor
ACSM Certified Personal Trainer
Sarah was a dancer and dance instructor until a series of foot and knee injuries sidelined her career. During her physical therapy, Sarah realized that her training had been one-dimensional, leaving her vulnerable to injury. She decided to learn more about fitness, anatomy, and kinesiology. She became a fitness professional to share her new knowledge with others, and to help others feel better and be healthier.
Sarah chose to pursue Pilates Instructor Certification through STOTT PILATES© because of the method’s scientific approach, which incorporates modern knowledge of exercise physiology and anatomy into the classic Pilates repertoire.
Pai-Ling Yin, Co-owner

Pai-Ling first met Sarah as a student in Sarah’s Cardio Funk class at the MIT gym (no longer offered). Pai-Ling hated the treadmill and the elliptical, but found that she loved to dance for exercise. She hired Sarah as her Personal Trainer. Sarah created fun dance routines for Pai-Ling to complement full-body strength routines. Before long, Pai-Ling was stronger than she’d ever been.
After over two years of training with Sarah, Pai-Ling decided to get a first-hand education in entrepreneurship by helping Sarah open FitLAB Pilates. She still works out with Sarah twice a week, learning dance routines while burning calories. She also often attends the Cardio Funk class at FitLAB, Wednesdays at 6:30 PM.
