A Healthier You
Means a Happier You
Welcome to Fitlosophy – A new way of thinking about Exercise, Nutrition, and Health in the greater Nashville, TN area.

Fitlosophy
Have you lost the energy and vitality you had when you were younger? Maybe your joints are starting to ache, and you are noticing some extra weight that won’t budge no matter what you try. Contrary to what you may have heard, you don’t have to live like this. We all get older, but while many of the problems we associate with getting older may be common, they are not normal. Aging is not supposed to be a slow, painful journey after middle age; it’s just been going this way for so long that we forgot human beings are meant to be vital, fully functioning people well into old age! At Fitlosophy, I’ve combined all of the “old world” knowledge with the tremendous advances we have made in recent years into a new “Fitness Philosophy” that incorporates small daily changes to create deep health and lasting fitness. There are no “6-Week Challenges” that leave you with no support or direction to maintain your gains when they are over. You get someone who listens to your individual challenges with weight, illness, motivation struggles, vices, and lifestyle. Then together, we craft a plan to give you more energy, less pain, better sleep, and increased vitality. Fitlosophy will improve your life and help you have the energy and pain free life you used to have!

Meet Dawn

After hearing about Pilates for a few years and even working out on an in-home reformer, Dawn decided to attend her first Pilates class in 2005. Little did she know that her life would be changed that day and the path to Fitlosophy would begin.

Health Coaching and Pilates Training
Dawn is a Vanderbilt-educated and Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. A Peak Pilates Comprehensively Certified and Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher. She has a Precision Nutrition Level 1 certification and is always taking classes to keep up with the latest in health, nutrition, and fitness.
Fitlosophy is a new way of thinking about exercise, nutrition, and health in the greater Nashville area. I strive to help you address the challenges you may have in order to live life to the fullest. My services can help aid in nutrition, sleep, exercise, and minimizing stress.
By combining Pilates, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and other forms of movement and muscle release, Fitlosophy can help people get to a level of health and vitality they no longer thought possible. Physical fitness doesn’t just mean how far you can run or how much weight you can lift. Physical fitness is how you feel in your own skin on a day to day basis. Which is why this quote from Joseph Pilates is one of my favorites.
“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”
About Fitlosophy
At Fitlosophy, Dawn’s knowledge of lasting behavior change techniques, nutrition, and exercise as well as her interests in Functional and Lifestyle Medicine, brings her clients a multi-point approach to wellness and lasting lifestyle change. She believes that the power to change is in all of us, but changing lifelong habits and ways of being can be extremely difficult. We all intuitively know when it is time to change, but that change can be so overwhelming that we never take the first step. Dawn is here to help you navigate the path of change and encourage you along the way. Health Coaching is convenient to your schedule. Telehealth appointments are available as well as phone appointments.
Fitlosophy is also a fully equipped boutique Pilates and Wellness Studio that caters to private instruction and small group classes. In this day and age, it can be a little scary to go to a big gym or studio. Group classes are currently capped at 3 people to ensure social distancing and all equipment is cleaned in between clients and classes. Zoom mat classes are offered if that is more convenient or better suited to your location or schedule. Each person deserves hands-on, individualized instruction that caters to their unique physiology and needs. This can only happen in a private or small group setting. Dawn knows first hand the benefits of authentic Pilates instruction, and strives every day to provide the best instruction possible to her clients.
