OUR STUDIO
Located in Berkley, Michigan, Reforming Foundations is a modern Pilates studio that teaches movement strategies to help every body feel and move its best. We specialize in Pilates, Physical Therapy and Wellness Programs. Our focus is injury rehabilitation, professional athletic training, those undergoing pain or movement problems and all those looking to experience both fun and challenging Pilates PODS with a variety of wonderful people who have helped create an inclusive and supportive environment.
OUR Pilates PODS
Because our primary focus is giving our clients a safe workout focused on alignment and movement techniques, each class has a maximum capacity of 6 people. Keeping classes small allows our instructors to focus and care for each body participating in the class. We specialize in One-On-One and Semi-Private Sessions to provide individualized care and dedicated support.

We are a Pilates Studio designed for all stages of life! From professional athletes to grandparents and from postpartum mamas to professional dancers and every body in between, Reforming Foundations is a perfect fit for anyone looking to increase their strength, endurance, flexibility and mobility while improving their mind body connection.
