When I met Meagan Koehler, I knew someone special had just entered my life. As I watched her work and watched her learn at the Classical Pilates Conference in Chicago my original feelings were confirmed. She has an openness of both mind and heart. Meagan has a loyalty and dedication to everything she does from her love and care for her friends and family, to her students, to the Pilates method and her continued studies.

I’ve been interested in Pilates for years, but never took steps toward learning more. That changed in November of 2017 when I researched all the studios in Asheville and chose Rise for a number of reasons: numerous classes at various skill levels and times, including classes specifically for Seniors, highly trained and professional staff, plus a very reasonably-priced, 12-session introductory program, including private sessions, equipment and mat classes. Turns out Rise has been a perfect choice! I’m continually encouraged in a very supportive manner, and my skills have grown tremendously over

Taking classes at Rise is fun and challenging. Even though it's Pilates, Meagan always mixes it up with some extra strength challenges. The space is centrally located downtown and convenient. It takes dedication, but in a short amount of time, it's amazing how different your body begins to look. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who is brand new or has taken Pilates for years. You won't be disappointed.

This is a great new studio space with some really wonderful instructors. I've been doing Pilates with Meagan for years, and I so appreciate how caring and kind she is, while always motivating me to do more and work harder. Whether at the beginning or advanced level, they have an excellent variety of classes, and lots of opportunity for private sessions as well.
