Thoughtful movement. Personalized teaching. Pilates that lasts.
We teach the work. Not just the workout.
Pilates Plus was built around the idea that people deserve more individualized attention than a traditional fitness setting allows. That’s why we specialize in private and duet sessions, designed around each client’s specific needs. Instead of pushing through pain or chasing exhaustion, we encourage slowing down and teaching movement with intention.
We begin every client relationship by getting to know you: your goals, your movement history, and what you’re hoping to get out of your sessions. Our instructors are trained to look closely at movement patterns and identify imbalance or compensation and guide you toward the right session style and pace for where you are.
This is Pilates rooted in education, anatomy, and thoughtful instruction.
How it works.
We start with you
Your goals, your movement history, and what you’re hoping to get out of your sessions.
We teach with intention
Private and duet sessions, no pushing through pain. Just attentive instruction.
We build for the long term
Strength, mobility, and function that shows up in how you move through your day.
We work with clients of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels, including:
Complete beginners
Athletes
Pre- and post-natal clients
Clients recovering from injury or surgery
Those managing chronic pain
Individuals with scoliosis, osteoporosis, neurological conditions, and other movement challenges
Anyone looking for a more intentional approach to strength and mobility
You do not need experience, flexibility, or a certain fitness level to begin.
You just need a place to start.

Still have questions?
Starting something new can feel intimidating. We’ve answered some of the most common questions about sessions, scheduling, experience level, pricing, and getting started.
-
Not at all. Many of our clients are completely new to Pilates when they start.
Sessions are tailored to the individual, so we’ll meet you where you are and help guide you through the process at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.
-
Your instructor will spend time getting to know you, your movement history, goals, injuries, concerns, and experience level before guiding you through a personalized session.
Our goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident from the very beginning.
-
Wear comfortable clothing you can move easily in. Since your legs will be in the air, consider body-hugging shorts or pants.
-
Absolutely. While we work with many experienced clients and athletes, Pilates Plus is intentionally designed to be approachable for beginners and those looking for more individualized support.
