A true boutique studio experience.

Sessions at The Six are limited to just four clients, ensuring you receive personalized attention and tailored feedback while focusing deeply on the six principles of Pilates: centering, concentration, control, precision, breath, and flow.

At The Six, we deliver a comprehensive and low impact full-body workout, blending contemporary instruction with Joseph Pilates classical method. We apply this method across premium Merrithew equipment including the reformer, tower, and stability chair.

Our goal is to help our clients build functional strength, flexibility, and balance while creating a community that allows movement to be ageless, inclusive and supported. Our teaching approach focuses on helping each person feel comfortable and empowered by providing adjustments and alternatives that honor their body’s unique needs. Whether you are a beginner learning the basics or an advanced practitioner seeking a challenge, we are here to help you grow.
