THE METHOD: Mission, Core Values & Community
Hey there! Welcome to THE METHOD.
Fitness here isn’t just about moving your body—it’s about connecting, finding balance, and discovering what you’re really capable of. We’re not just another workout spot; we’re a community and a little getaway—a breath of fresh air between work and home.
Whether you’re just Pilates-curious or already hooked on reformer workouts, there’s a space for you here.
Here, strength means showing up, sticking with it, and moving with intention. No pressure, no stress—just a spot where you can get stronger, feel better, and actually enjoy the process. Whether you’re brand new or a total pro, you’ll find your people, your rhythm, and your strength here.
So, what’s behind everything we do? Our mission, our values, and the amazing community that makes THE METHOD special. Let’s dive in.
Why We Started THE METHOD
We believe your strength creates possibility.
When we created THE METHOD, it was about more than fitness. We wanted a space that felt like home—a place where you could move with intention, feel supported, and grow at your own pace. Somewhere that welcomes you exactly as you are.
That’s why we’re offering modern Pilates: low-impact, strength-focused reformer workouts that support you where you are—and help you grow stronger, one class at a time.
THE METHOD – Pilates Strong grew from that same vision. It’s our more athletic take on reformer Pilates—built around controlled movement, focused resistance, and deep core engagement. It helps you build strength that shows up in every part of your life.
But more than just the workout, we’re here for the community it creates. For the energy in the room, the progress that builds over time, and the people who keep showing up for themselves—and each other.
We also wanted to open doors for our instructors. This studio is a space for them to grow, expand their skills, and deepen their impact. When they shine, so does the entire community.
Because here, strength isn’t just the goal—it’s the journey. And we’re with you every step of the way.
Our Mission
We want to be your “third place”—that relaxed, welcoming space between work and home where strength shows up in all forms.
We’re not here to overwhelm or overcomplicate. We believe transformation happens quietly, one class at a time. We believe it happens when you keep showing up—even on the days you’re tired, busy, or not quite feeling it.
We believe that movement should feel good. Like something you want to do, not have to do.
And we believe this work isn’t just for our clients—it’s for our instructors, too. This studio is about growing opportunity—for everyone involved. From expanded class options to mentorship and connection, we’re building something where everyone rises together.
We’re blending the low-impact, controlled movement of Pilates with a fresh, strength-focused approach—bringing the best of both worlds into a space that feels modern, elevated, and real.
Growth for us means growth for you, our team, and the entire community.
What We Believe In
-
Staying Positive
No matter what life throws your way, we believe in the power of a positive outlook to keep you moving forward. -
Small Wins Matter
Progress isn’t about going harder every time. Sometimes it’s just showing up, holding a pose a little longer, or taking a deep breath. Every win counts. -
Push Yourself, We’ve Got You
You’ll be challenged physically—and supported mentally and emotionally. Growth happens in all those places, and you don’t have to do it alone. -
Helping Our Instructors Shine
We’re all about creating space for our instructors to grow their skills, expand their teaching opportunities, and deepen their connection to the community. When our teachers thrive, everyone benefits from richer, more inspired classes and a stronger, more supportive environment. -
Showing Up Counts
We know life gets busy—like, really busy. But this is your steady spot. You don’t have to do it all—just come back. The more you show up, the more confident you become. -
Genuine Support, No Ego
No competition, no cliques—just real people doing meaningful work together. Our instructors are here to guide, not impress. We want you to feel seen, supported, and celebrated. -
Attention to the Little Things
We keep things simple with a touch of low-key luxury. From the lighting and music to the scent in the air, every little detail is thoughtfully chosen to help you feel comfortable, focused, and ready to move with intention.
Our Community
Our community feels like coming home—with energy. It’s real, friendly, and judgment-free.
Whether you’re a fitness pro or just getting started, you’ll find your people here—those who want strength, balance, connection, and real support (without the ego). You’ll be greeted with smiles, remembered by name, and celebrated for showing up.
We’re the kind of place where people root for you, celebrate your wins, and meet you where you are.
Because showing up matters. And when you’re here, you’re part of something that matters too.
What Makes THE METHOD Different
At THE METHOD, we offer powerful, precise, low-impact workouts using our custom-designed reformers—made to give you the most effective and enjoyable experience possible.
We blend slow, controlled movements with deep core work and just the right amount of resistance to help you feel everything.
We’ve taken everything we love about classical Pilates and infused it with a more athletic, strength-focused approach—designed for modern bodies, modern schedules, and modern goals.
It’s not just exercise—it’s transformation.
It’s about being present, building confidence, and moving with purpose.
Final Thoughts
We know walking into a new studio can feel intimidating—but from your very first class, you’ll feel the difference here. It’s friendly, it’s encouraging, and it’s real.
You’ve got this. And we’ve got you.
We’d love for you to swing by, find your flow, and enjoy a fitness journey that feels good and works. Here, you’re not just part of a class—you’re part of something bigger.
We can’t wait to meet you.
