Trent McEntire, Director and Founder of McEntire Pilates (www.mcentirepilates.com) was presented the 2015-16 Distinguished Alumni Award from Western Michigan University. The award recognizes McEntire’s work in the development of Pilates methods, most notably Neuro-Movement and the invention of Arcus™.
“It is truly an honor,” said McEntire. “My experience as a student of Dance at Western Michigan University provided a solid foundation for the work in creating Neuro-Movement programs and equipment. WMU’s Dance program is unique in that it provides a balanced education in both the
arts and movement science, including studies in kinesiology and physics.”

I grew up in the small, conservative town of Cement City, MI—population 350. Despite the community’s name, I actually grew up on a dairy farm.
