I'm Curious

<autoplay speed=5></autoplay>"Core Foundations is a great class! Kellie makes sure you have good form with correct alignment and the just right amount of resistance with good technique. She keeps it both challenging and fun! I always feel taller, stronger and more energized when I leave class. I am glad to have found this friendly, clean and bright Pilates studio!"

"After having a really tough year in 2023, I decided I needed a safe place to work out. The team here is amazing. With only 1 time a week I was able to lose body fat, and increase muscle mass and bone density. They have helped me regain confidence I lost and feel better overall! Thank you"

Why the elephant?

Our mascot, Eddie the Elephant, is very special to us as he encompasses RF’s core values—Compassion, Community, Commitment and Continuous Improvement. Elephants are known for their community, they travel and stick together; another mother will raise another's calf; when in trouble the herd will circle together to protect the weaker inside the circle. They care for each other

Eddie shows strength and balance as he reaches for the leaves of the tree for nourishment. He does this so gracefully balancing on his hind legs demonstrating his strength and agility.

Pilates helps each of us heal, get stronger and grow—physically, mentally and soulfully. Eddie is just a little reminder that we too can take care of our community, heal, and be graceful and strong each and every day.

Compassion, Community, Commitment, Continous Improvement.
