**Two Finalists. One Artistry Reformer. A Finale to Remember.**



*Over 800 participants world wide participated in the PilatesStyle Passport Challenge. Contestants competed for the new Peak Pilates Artistry Reformer in competitions practicing their Pilates Knowledge. Patricia Welter(Pictured Left) and Georgia Roy brought the PilatesStyle® Passport Challenge to its finish in West Palm Beach, where knowledge, skill, and a little game-show spirit helped decide the winner.*



The PilatesStyle® Passport Challenge reached its final stop in West Palm Beach, with finalists **Patricia Welter and Georgia Roy** stepping into a live competition before the Pilates Method Alliance community.



After earning their places in the final round, the two instructors faced a fresh challenge: putting their Pilates knowledge and teaching skills into action, with an audience watching.



The finale began with a lively, *Family Feud–style* question round. Welter and Roy had to think on their feet, answering questions that brought a playful competitive edge to the proceedings.



Then it was time to move. Both finalists visited participating vendor booths, where they completed a series of tasks and were judged on their performance. The format brought the challenge onto the event floor, giving each finalist an opportunity to demonstrate her abilities while engaging with the Pilates community.



The final announcement came at the **PMA gala**, where **Patricia Welter was named the grand prize winner**, taking home a **Peak Pilates® Artistry® Reformer**.



Georgia Roy earned the runner-up position, completing a journey that placed her among the challenge’s final two.



For PilatesStyle, the finale celebrated the knowledge, dedication, and personality that instructors bring to the method—and the connections that make this community special.



**Congratulations to Patricia Welter and Georgia Roy, and thank you to Peak Pilates, the Pilates Method Alliance, and the participating vendors who helped bring the Passport Challenge finale to life.**
