STUDIO
Detroit Pilates is located in the heart of downtown Detroit. Detroit Pilates opened its doors in December 2014 in a city currently known for its revitalization and rebirth. We are a tough group that knows what it takes to rebuild and refocus and come together to create a withstanding community. This is the very reason why we wanted to build our Pilates studio in the heart of Detroit. The grit and work of Pilates is the spirit of Detroit.
We are a studio that is dedicated to offering authentic Pilates in the form of Private sessions and small group training. Everyone who walks through our doors will get to experience the look and feel of Pilates and the Gratz equipment that enables one to find a deeper connection to their core.

Through studying, practicing and teaching Pilates she has gained a newfound respect for the process, always reminding her clients as well as herself that Pilates is a journey and not a destination. Megan's approach to teaching is both receptive and challenging as she guides you through your own journey.

EQUIPMENT
We choose to fully equip the studio with Gratz apparatus so our clients can experience the work and feel of Pilates the way Joseph Pilates intended it to be. The substantial nature and the industrial essence of the equipment fits the aesthetic vibe of the city we are located in. We wanted our clients to have the absolute best the Pilates industry has to offer, that’s why we chose Gratz.
