Meet Our Team

CO-Owner
Hannah Valentine
With a professional background in insurance and a heart for community service, I’ve always been driven by a desire to support and uplift others.
Elev8 was born from that same passion. I saw a need for a peaceful, welcoming space where women could prioritize their well-being—physically, mentally, and emotionally—without the pressure of a high-intensity environment. While I don’t come from a fitness background, my entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to creating meaningful relationships led me to build something different.
Elev8 is more than a Pilates studio—it’s a safe haven for women to breathe, move, connect, and feel empowered. My hope is that when you walk through our doors, you feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow—at your own pace and in your own way.
Let’s ELEV8 together.

Co-owner
Lyndsey George
Born and raised right here in Richmond Hill, my roots in movement began early — through years of cheerleading and gymnastics, I discovered a love for strength, flexibility, and the joy of pushing boundaries. That passion stayed with me, even as I built a career as a local insurance agent, helping protect the dreams and well-being of the families in our community.
But I always felt a calling to bring something more to Richmond Hill — a space that didn’t yet exist. A space where women could reconnect with themselves, feel strong in their bodies, and find their power again.
That dream became ELEV8 Pilates Studio — the very first Pilates studio in Richmond Hill — designed to be so much more than just a workout. It’s a modern, sleek, and luxurious boutique space built with intention: to elevate your mindset, empower your body, and inspire transformation from the inside out.

Santana Browne
I am a Richmond Hill native, mom of two girls, and entrepreneur. I graduated from Georgia Southern with a BBA in Accounting and a minor in Criminal Justice. In 2023, I started my own marketing business, combining creativity and strategy to support local brands.
Community means everything to me. Through my work and involvement in organizations like Rotary and Combat Boots to the Boardroom, I’m committed to uplifting and empowering those around me.

Trainer
Tricia Martin
I’m a proud wife and mom to two incredible daughters, living each day with purpose, passion, and an unwavering commitment to growth. As a personal trainer, fitness figure competitor, and certified health coach, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others unlock their full potential—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
For me, fitness isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about feeling strong, confident, and empowered from the inside out. I believe in showing up fully, leading with heart, and evolving constantly. Every rep, every choice, and every challenge is an opportunity to grow—not just in the gym, but in life.
This journey is about so much more than movement. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself—and I’m here to help you get there, one step, one sweat, and one breakthrough at a time.

Our Mission
At Elev8 Pilates, we believe that true wellness starts from within. Our passion for health and movement inspired us to create a space where you can strengthen your body, refresh your mind, and elevate your entire well-being.

We chose the name Elev8 because we believe in the power of continuous growth-physically, mentally, and emotionally. To truly elevate, we must prioritize our bodies, treating them with the care and attention they deserve. But we don't do it alone-we do it together.

Elev8 is more than just a Pilates studio; it's a community built on women supporting women. Here, we lift each other up, push each other forward, and celebrate every win big or small. We are each other's cheerleaders, reminding one another of our strength, resilience, and limitless potential.
