Pilates Makes You Happy, follows Madison a 20-something English teacher by day, Pilates teacher by night. The blog mainly features posts about eating healthy, working out and the balance between the two. However, a lot of the time, there is also musings about life, TV shows, exercise trends, and trying to find good eats while figuring out a dairy allergy. Don’t expect a huge amount of work outs or recipes, just expect the (sometimes) mindless drivel of a girl trying to muddle her way through a healthy lifestyle.

I’m Whitney, the voice behind Whitlikesfit. I spend my days at a job I love, and my free time learning about fitness and health while being a wife to an amazing husband, and mom to a super cute dog. All the while, balancing a pretty active social life that includes plenty of cowboy boots, country music, and the occasional mason jar of beer. Life is short, and we only get one. So enjoy it. Eat the cookie, have the glass of wine, but go to the gym and make smart choices. Being fit is one big balancing act, and I’m just trying to avoid falling off the balance beam.
