The St. Louis Pilates Lab

"Every week, I look forward to my time with my excellent instructor Meaghan at Pilates Lab! It is a remarkably beautiful space. Every person there is friendly and respectful of the committed work that is engaging both teachers and participants. People come there to train as instructors and you can always feel the excitement of learning and reaching for the next milestone"

"I’ve experienced the joy and benefit of practicing Pilates at The Pilates Lab since its opening. I started practicing Pilates as a total beginner several years ago. At that point, I had been seeking better fitness through both structured and unstructured training at a traditional gym. Despite my efforts, I never got consistent results. The Pilates Lab has helped me to learn the importance of balance in strength and control. I have learned to care for my body even when I am increasingly hard on it in my athletic pursuits. Pilates has helped me maintain and even build my fitness when injured from my sport of choice. Through my Pilates practice, I have become better in tune with the signals my body is sending me while training. You won’t meet a better or more qualified group of teachers who understand the intricacies of the body and how it moves, as well as how to correct bad, stiff, or just plain painful movement— all while helping you get more fit and strong."

"Working with Clari Bowman at STL Pilates Lab has been the most joyful health and fitness experience I've ever had. The classical Pilates approach of the studio is rigorous and engaging, and being there is always tremendous fun. Clari's attention to movement patterns and form is a perfect complement to her ambitions for clients to get stronger, more flexible, and to feel well in every way possible. I can't recommend Clari and the Lab highly enough!"

"I enjoy coming to the Pilates lab. The instructors are all very kind. The Pilates Lab gives off such positive energy it’s hard not to look forward to coming in. I have worked with Susan for a little over 2 years now and she is such an amazing instructor and really listens to her clients. They’re stuck with me for life!"

"Finding a good Pilates studio was top of my list when I moved to STL in 2022. As a classical Pilates instructor myself with more than 20 years teaching experience, I had high standards and I was beyond thrilled to find The Lab. My sessions with Kristen and Susan are highlights of my week. They and the other instructors are superb. I feel amazing after my sessions and I am so impressed by the level of teaching at the Lab. I love and respect it so much I started teaching here."
