I created this business to enhance strength, core stability and balance for people of all ages and genders. Following the philosophy of Joseph Pilates by teaching the intrinsic relationship between mind, body and spirit. I like to foster that vision by combining the movement system with focus on breath and core connection.
My background as an athlete and working in the fitness industry combined with my nurturing experience in raising seven children, is what drives me to give everybody that custom workout. We at Patriot Pilates, take pride in being the most result based studio in the midwest!.

Our Lockport studio delivers a calming, zen-like atmosphere to increase focus during your Pilates workout. Our spacious studio includes a wide reformer area, a rear TRX room, and private place for one-on-one Pilates sessions. The name Patriot Pilates is a tribute to Joseph Pilates' recognition of the plight of wounded soldiers of war.
Pilates can be an aerobic and non-aerobic form of exercise. It requires concentration and focus, because you move your body through precise ranges of motion. Pilates lengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in your body in a balanced fashion. It requires concentration in finding a centre point to control your body through movement.
Each client makes a personalized transformation goal, which is transcribed onto their chart. The client chart consists of eight measurements from the neck down to the calves where improvements will be tracked. The client will see immense improvements in balance, flexibility, strength and sculpted core within 8 to 10 weeks of completing their sessions.

I am so impressed with Patriot Pilates and Mariel the attention to detail is remarkable very understanding and teaches with heart and passion and it shows.The new equipment is great. Mariel donates her time and business twice a week to help Veterans free of charge and this is very much appreciate and respected. Patriot Pilates promote healthier Mind-Body-Soul. Thank you for making a difference, what your doing does matter to all you help.

I have been a Patriot Pilates client for 2 years . This is the best form of exercise for strength, balance and toning that I have ever done ! The instructors are great and there is a variety of equipment that we use! Never boring ~ always fun and challenging. This is a great studio with a warm and welcoming feel. ☺️

Before joining Patriot Pilates (and pilates in general!) it was hard for me to find a workout routine and stick with it! From the minute you step into this warm and inviting studio you feel welcomed and a part of something truly great! Each of the three instructors adds a unique twist to their routines, while consistently sculpting muscles and building our core strength. There are a lot of opportunities to join classes during the week and on Saturdays, making it easy for me (and my mom) to find classes to attend together. We even get to sign up and change class times right from our phones! I highly
