Our focus is to provide our clients with an environment where the healing of movement can take place. Pure Pilates relies on the Stott Pilates method, a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates.
Co-founders Moira and Lindsay G. Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, have spent over two decades refining the Stott Pilates method of exercise and equipment.This resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation, making it one of the most and most effective methods available.

After 20 years of teaching and practicing pilates, my thoughts on pilates has evolved. When I first started my practice I loved how amazing I felt and how my body changed. Soon after I noticed my neck pain from an injury decrease and my posture improved. I enjoy running and as the years went on, I have stayed injury-free which I attributed to my pilates practice.

Pure Pilates is phenomenal. Love my specific instructor, Sahra, who doesn't let me get away with anything. Masks until you're at your machine, and any time you leave the machine, they definitely care about their clients. The machines are great and constantly cleaned. They have classes for all levels from brand new to advanced. Highly recommend.

The studio is filled with people who are learning and growing. The equipment is perfectly maintained. The instructors are trained in a fusion of techniques and skilled and wise. Scheduling was simple and they went out of my way to adjust for my summer schedule. Private lessons helped me stay on the trail and injury free. Highly recommend.
