The Team | Talbot Reformer Co

Meet Our Team

My name is Lindsay Luyks and my husband, Mike, and I own Talbot Reformer Co. My love affair with the Reformer began in a group fitness class more than 15 years ago. My instructor was brilliant, tough and inspirational and I cherished the time out of my day that was just for me. With 3 babies under 4, and no local option for practice, I eventually found other ways to move my body. My favourite of these has been group fitness at our local YMCA, where I eventually became a fitness instructor.

I have been a teacher of some sort for most of my adult life- a high school English teacher, a group fitness instructor, and a grade 2 teacher. Most recently, I've completed training in Reformer Pilates through Balanced Body, an international leader in Pilates teacher training. I can't wait to bring my teaching experience and all that I've learned in the art of Pilates to St. Thomas for a fresh, new fitness experience that I know you're going to love!

Hi, I'm Brooke!

My Pilates journey began as a competitive dancer and a triple-threat performer, where I used Pilates to build strength, body awareness, and support my training. What started as a tool for performance quickly became a passion.

I’ve been teaching Pilates for over a year and am Reformer certified and Balance Body trained. My teaching style is rooted in classical Pilates with contemporary influences, creating classes that are both challenging and welcoming for all levels.

I recently completed a graduate program in Addiction and Mental Health, which strengthened my interest in the connection between movement and overall well-being. I’m passionate about helping clients build strength, confidence, and a deeper connection to their bodies through Pilates. ✨

Hi, I’m Diana!

Fitness and movement have always been an important part of my life. After having my two daughters, I discovered mat Pilates and quickly fell in love with its focus on strength, control, and mindful movement. I became a certified yoga instructor in 2018 and a certified mat Pilates instructor through Body Soul Well in 2019. My passion for combining yoga and Pilates eventually led me to Balanced Body, where I completed instructor training in Reformer Pilates.

With experience teaching a variety of fitness classes, including my favourite, barre, I love blending barre, mat Pilates, and strength into creative and challenging Reformer workouts. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where everyone feels encouraged to move, grow, and challenge themselves. I love being a cheerleader for my participants and helping them build strength, confidence, and a stronger connection with their bodies while celebrating every step of their progress.

Hi, I’m Allison and I love being part of the team at Talbot Reformer Co! My background in dance, athletics, and group fitness continues to fuel my passion for movement, challenge, and overall wellness. Trained through Balanced Body, I really enjoy helping others discover the strength, alignment, confidence, and sense of well-being that mindful movement on the Reformer can create. Drawing from my background in education and fitness instructing, I'm dedicated to creating effective workouts and a supportive environment where everyone feels welcomed, and empowered. So let's turn up the music and meet in our beautiful studio for a workout that will leave you feeling aligned, energized, and strong!
