Meet the team.
Small studio, dedicated instructors. Every session is led by someone who genuinely cares about your progress.
Madeleine is passionate about teaching and fueled by focus, form, and the magic of mindful movement. Her style is both encouraging and motivating, with a strong emphasis on precision, control, and biomechanics, meeting every client exactly where they are.
After discovering a clear gap in classical Pilates access in Southern New Hampshire, she opened Happy Place Pilates to bring the depth and discipline of the classical method to Manchester.
Outside the studio, Madeleine loves running, biking, and being on the ocean and spending time with her two dogs, Sunny and Maverick.
Sydney has always been passionate about movement, but fell in love with the level of precision and mindfulness that Pilates can offer. After feeling the physical and mental transformation in her own body, she knew she wanted to pursue certification and share her love of the Pilates method with others.
Outside of the studio, you can find her working in radiation oncology, spending time outdoors, and cozying up with her cat and dog.
How Happy Place
came to be.
Madeleine Clark moved to New Hampshire in 2020 and quickly noticed that classical Pilates, which she had grown up with on the South Shore of Massachusetts, was far less accessible here. She saw a clear gap in the local fitness landscape and felt inspired to fill it.
Throughout her career, she had seen time and again that nothing delivers progress, alignment, and long-term results quite like the classical method. With that conviction, and a genuine passion for helping people feel their best, she opened Happy Place Pilates.
Since then, it has grown into a community of people who value depth, precision, and the transformative power of classical Pilates, a space where connection, consistency, and meaningful movement come first.
