About Boom
What puts the “Boom” in Boom Pilates?
Meet Danyal
Danyal Timmermann is the owner and founder of Boom Pilates. Growing up through competitive dance, cheer, and being an avid runner, movement has always been a key part of Danyal’s well-being. She found the energizing world of Pilates following her son’s cesarean delivery in 2013. The complicated procedure left Danyal with little to no core strength, but her dedicated commitment to the discipline of Pilates steadily earned back a new kind of core stability that no previous fitness element could achieve. Determined to give back to other postnatal moms, Danyal embarked on her original teaching journey with the highly respected STOTT Pilates method. She was fully certified as a comprehensive ISP teacher (Injuries and Special Populations) on all contemporary modalities in 2015. In 2020, Danyal partnered with her long-term Pilates mentor, Shauna-Smith Yates, and they co-created an all-inclusive instructor training program – The Mixed Method.
Danyal’s additional coaching certifications include – Core Barre, Core Reform, Juvo Board, AIS (Active, Isolated Stretch) and she also earned her coaching certificate as a Gallup Strengths-Based Lead. Danyal hadn’t thought it was possible to reinvent herself in her late thirties, until the world of Pilates BOOMed into her life and changed every aspect for the better. Growing up classically trained in ballet/dance and purely obsessed with electronic dance music, she has clearly influenced the studio vibe, marring the movement concepts of technical and fun. Danyal believes in the power of using beats as a therapeutic internal development tool, which is why every Boom Pilates class is set to an 8-count dance beat that keeps you grooving—even when you feel like the reps are burning! Danyal has a contagious mission to bring the most energizing, intelligent, and safe Pilates practice to the greater STL area, one Boom at a time.
