New studio will offer small group training of only five workstations so we can provide individual attention to all our clients. PLUS we will have a dedicated private space for those needing more one on one. This Fall 2022 the new commercial studio space will be conveniently located within the Willoughby Town Centre at 208 St and 80 Ave.

Our Group Apparatus 1 classes are very special and we love them around here at the studio.

All our classes are led by a Kinesiologist (Amy) or kinesiology university student (Gwyneth). We understand movement inside and out.

We adapt each individual class to the group of clients participating.

We take the client’s injuries, issues, limitations, and ability level and program accordingly. We also listen to the advice from your physio, chiro, dr, and osteo to guide your movement in class.

Group Apparatus 1 classes focus on building functional movement patterns working with pre-Pilates (physiotherapy style exercises) and foundational Pilates exercises to build strength, endurance, coordination, balance, flexibility, and core stability.

This level is perfect for those who are new or newer to Pilates, those who need to build important muscular connections, those who like a slower transitional pace, or for those rehabilitating an injury.

All new clients are asked to attend four Group Apparatus 1 classes (or several privates) to learn the basics, before deciding whether to move up to the Group Apparatus 2 level or stick at the first level for longer. The first level sets each client up for success to become stronger for the higher level of exercises.

We have a very special offer for new clients: 4-pack of drop in Group Apparatus 1 classes at our much discounted membership rate. You get to try the studio out and see if it’s a good fit for you. Link for more info in profile.

Depending on the theme of the class, clients benefit from using a variety of Pilates Apparatus: reformer, wunda chair, tower, arm chair, barrels, and other Pilates apparatus, like foot corrector, toe corrector, 2x4, bean bag, etc.

We’d love to meet you! Please reach out with any questions or concerns you may have, we are glad to help.

Meet Denise 🤩😃

She has been a client for several years, even back when I had my home studio.

Denise was a pro basketball player while attending university, which led to some muscular imbalances and chronic injuries. While treating those is ongoing, Denise attends classes twice a week to help manage those injuries while focusing on getting stronger and healthier. She has become quite strong and comes to our most advanced classes💪 💪💪

Many of our clients mention how they love our standing reservation feature.

For clients who have memberships, they are provided with optional standing reservations in classes in their preferred days and times every week. This helps clients stay consistent and accountable to reach their personal health and fitness goals.

These standing reservations are very flexible, with the option to switch them up at any time. Also, with 24 hours notice, clients are able to cancel out their regular class and find another available class that best suits their schedule.

We love the standing reservation feature! As a personal trainer since 1999, I see time and again how important making an appointment is to sticking with your fitness program.

Thank you Denise for your continued commitment to your health, we love having you in our classes here at the studio ❤️❤️❤️

Meagan has done it again!

Our family photos for my graduation are so lovely. Thank you Meagan ❤️🤗

I started my journey to complete my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology university degree in January 2022. And graduated this Spring 2026.

I have been in the fitness industry as a certified Personal Trainer since 1999. I later added yoga teacher, group exercise instructor, and Pilates teacher certifications.

Through out my career I have always wanted to finish my degree in Kinesiology. I tried when my children were younger, but it was too much at that time.

So four years ago, I set out on my journey. It was challenging juggling family life, taking care of the pups, making time for dear friends, and opening the studio all while taking university classes. It has also been rewarding. I truly love learning, so I really enjoyed delving more into the science of movement.

Thank you to my family and friends for your support. As well as my fabulous clients who inspire me to teach. You make this career so worth it. I get to teach healing movement to such an amazing group of clients, you are a gift ❤️

Please note: two of the photos were taken at the commencement ceremony taken by me and my son Harrison. The rest were Meagan.

The last few photos I couldn’t help myself but post, Meagan took gorgeous photos of my pups: Cassie, Murphy, and Sophie 🥰❤️

Three years ago I came across a recent meta-analysis researching which modes of exercise reduce low back pain and wrote a short article about it.

This massive meta-analysis looked at 118 randomized control trials (RCT) of ways to reduce LBP and to determine which type of exercise is best for reducing pain and disability in adults with chronic LBP.

RCTs reduce bias and provide a rigorous tool to examine cause-effect relationships between an intervention and outcome, so analyzing 118 RCTs is an amazing way to see accurate outcomes (Hariton & Locascio, 2018).

This particular study looked at LBP and different modes of exercise:

* Stretching
* Generic strength workouts
* McKenzie method
* Aerobic workouts
* Pilates
* Core-based workouts
* Specific motor control exercises

Pilates had the highest likelihood for reducing pain (93%) and disability (98%) (Fernández-Rodríguez et al., 2022).

Meet Jessica 👋

We love Jessica around here! She has been attending our studio for the past year.

Before doing Pilates, she was noticing how uncomfortable her body was starting to feel after long hours working on her computer. Attending our early morning classes twice weekly has really helped strengthen her body, ease those aches and pains, and realign her shoulders and pelvis.

She is now 19 weeks pregnant (we filmed this in December 2025). She is still rocking it twice weekly attending our Group Apparatus 2 (Intermediate) classes. We modify and adapt for certain exercises she feels uncomfortable doing at this stage during her pregnancy.

At Pilates Life Studio our class sizes include only 5 clients, so we have the opportunity to give the care and focus to each and every one of our clients in class.

Jessica is so dedicated to her Pilates practice and she been such a joy to teach this past year! ❤️
