About Our Company

Jackie Martin opened the PiYo Pilates Studio in June of 2005. Starting out with only a handful of clients, PiYo has now grown into a vibrant studio with more than 60 clients attending classes each week to be "pilateed" in one way or another. We follow the Joseph Pilates repertoire of classic training methods and add a blend of Pilates-Yoga exercises as well to keep the challenge and interest.

The atmosphere at our studio is small and intimate which creates a more hands on and personalized approach to teaching. Our clients work hard to achieve their fitness goals while having fun at the same time.
