Pilates With Leigh & Team
Located above Rollin’ Oats Market and still owner-operated but with new team members, EXO Pilates Chairs and Spring Boards!
What is Pilates?
It’s impossible to put into words exactly what Pilates is so you are encouraged to come experience it for yourself or you can stop in and observe a class. In each class clients exercise on their own individual Pilates Reformer, Chair and Spring Board/Tower as we move fluidly and efficiently through different exercise sets. Pilates exercises are dynamic anatomically based movements emphasizing core strength, flexibility, balance, body awareness and grace in movement. We also periodically add jumping on Pilates jump boards for functional weight bearing cardio. You will love the way you feel!
About Us
We are centrally located at 2842 Dr Martin Luther King Jr St N in St. Petersburg, Florida. Our modern and newly remodeled studio has natural light that shines in from the west. Our beautiful Balanced Body equipment includes Chairs, Spring Boards/Towers and Allegro 2 Reformers with an infinity bar which allows for opposition stretching for increased flexibility. The primary group instructor and owner, Leigh, is a PMA certified Pilates instructor who has been teaching small group Reformer Pilates classes since 2004. We also specialize in private and semi-private sessions.
