History

Established in 2000.

Originally opening as a 1 room studio in ¹⁹⁹⁹⁄₂₀₀₀ «Momentum The Pilates Center» changed ownership and names a handful of times before becoming The Pilates Studio in 2011. You’ll recognize Laurie and Katrina’s faces from those early years when they were employees. Under their ownership The Pilates Studio has tripled in size and now offers designated rooms for Pilates Mat Classes, Reformer Classes, Private Sessions and Small Group Sessions.

Their commitment to providing excellent Pilates instruction in a welcoming environment has kept this studio one of the most successful and longest lasting in the Pioneer Valley. In 2014 The Pilates Studio became the valley’s only teacher training facility for Polestar Pilates– a worldwide provider of rehabilitation-​based Pilates education, producing high-​caliber Pilates teachers and successful Pilates studio models.

The Pilates Studio was voted «Best Place For Pilates» in the Valley Advocate Readers Poll in ’12, ’13, ’14 and ’15.
