Equipment-based workout studio offers forward-thinking fitness in a peaceful setting.

The Space
Starbucks meets Zen. Calm and soothing, this intimate Pilates studio is the sort of place you might want to hang out and read a magazine, post-workout. Awash in colors like tea green, eggplant and pale yellow, the serene loft studio attracts a diverse, largely female clientele looking to lose a few pounds.

The Services
This multidisciplinary rehabilitative form of exercise aims to strengthen the back, increase flexibility, improve posture, balance and coordination. Spring-loaded machines make use of your body weight to tone you up and trim you down. Unlike typical machine-based exercise, these workouts blend breathing and stretching components. Whether you're looking for private, semi-private, group classes or gym time, a variety of options exist.
