WHAT IS PILATESMITH?
The magic of Pilates is no longer a secret, especially right here in Los Angeles. As more people discover Pilates and expect it to deliver on their fitness goals, Jessica Henien, Founder & CEO of Pilatesmith, noticed more clients hitting a proverbial “Pilates ceiling.” After being introduced to the method, Pilates was no longer meeting clients’ expectations - at least not at a studio-wide level. These experienced Pilates lovers - or "Pilatesmiths" - needed a studio built for them.
Realizing this, Jessica saw an opportunity to create a Pilates studio brand that delivered on fitness goals using traditional Pilates. Pilatesmith calls their signature style "Athletic Pilates." Simply put, Athletic Pilates is Pilates - for fitness. It is challenging and intentionally taught to deliver the benefits of Pilates while improving overall fitness for maximum impact to your body’s composition.
She also saw an opportunity to better serve clients by leveling classes and offering Private Training sessions for those with specific goals wanting customized sessions and maximum results.
Pilatesmith offers Reformer and Mat classes, with a heavy amount of advanced-level classes to serve Pilatesmiths. At Pilatesmith, the levels and formats are purposeful. Each is built around a proven fitness principle so you can book your workout with your fitness goal in mind - or simply choose based on what feels right that day.
Behind every workout is a team of experienced and friendly faces who focus on fostering a community that welcomes and supports you. Because the only thing better than a great workout, is a fun workout.
Get ready to forge a body that is stronger, leaner, and more toned - and to become obsessed with your fitness routine!
BE A SMITH
Anyone who works out at Pilatesmith is called a Smith. It’s derived from ‘Smid’ - an Old English term for ‘one who strikes hard’ and over the years has come mean ‘a maker.’
Smiths are known for their work ethic, continuous pursuit to be better, and just general bad-assery! We come from all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes, and are connected through the shared value of hard work and a growth mindset.
Whether you’re a Novice, Apprentice, or Pilatesmith, we’re all here to get stronger, support each other, and discover the full potential of our body!
