Christa PanayotidisFounder & Instructor

With a background in both fitness and business, the founder of Mat Studio 333 brings a unique perspective to movement, combining years of teaching experience with a passion for creating intentional, results-driven fitness experiences.
A graduate of Indiana University with degrees in Kinesiology and Business, she began her fitness career teaching indoor cycling in 2016 while working on Wall Street. Her professional journey also took her through roles in sales, business operations, people operations and project management across New York, London, and Los Angeles, all while continuing to pursue her passion for fitness.
After experiencing an athletic related knee injury, she discovered Pilates firsthand and experienced how it transformed not only her body and mind, but also her perspective on strength training. Recognizing how Pilates and strength training complement one another, she became passionate about creating a more balanced, well-rounded approach to movement.
After relocating to South Florida in 2021, she transitioned into teaching fitness full-time in 2023, further developing her expertise in Pilates, Barre, Strength Training, and dynamic group and private fitness programming.
As a certified Pilates & Barre Instructor through Balanced Body and Personal Trainer, she founded Mat Studio 333 to bring her philosophy to life — creating a space where thoughtful programming, effective movement, music, and community come together. Her teaching style is rooted in the belief that movement should be challenging yet attainable, empowering individuals to build strength, confidence, and a lasting connection to fitness.
