Reformers in the room

Which is why a class never grows past seven, and why the popular times fill.

30

Years a licensed PT

Amanda teaches every single class herself. There is no other instructor.

$35

Two classes, one price

Come twice on any two classes, then decide. No membership, nothing to cancel.

The bridge back

Most people arrive here somewhere between finished with physical therapy and not ready for a gym.

That gap is the reason this studio exists. Amanda has spent three decades as a licensed physical therapist and certified Pilates instructor, and she opened ABS Pilates in 2012 for the people she kept meeting at the end of rehab: stronger than they were, not yet as strong as they want to be.

“You have to get a little uncomfortable to see your body change, but you should always feel supported and safe along the way.”

She was one of 78 accepted from more than 500 applicants to the University of Oklahoma's physical therapy program, and has used Pilates in rehab for total knee replacements, ACL reconstructions, and lower back, neck and shoulder injuries.

Every exercise has a modification. Nobody is going to ask you to keep up.
