Meet the Reformer
If you're new to Pilates, especially on the Reformer, you might be curious about what it actually is. Essentially, the Reformer is a piece of equipment with a sliding carriage, springs, and pulleys that allows for a full-body workout. It provides resistance that helps you build strength, improve core stability, and increase flexibility in a controlled and supportive way — all while being gentle on your joints.
It's an amazing way to move, offering something for every body, whether you're looking to build strength, aid recovery, or simply feel more connected and comfortable in your own skin.
Our Story
After experiencing the benefits of Reformer Pilates firsthand during her own recovery from injury, Kate founded Renu Studios with a simple belief: that Pilates should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
From the carefully curated classes to the supportive instructors, every part of Renu is designed to help you reconnect with yourself and rediscover what your body is capable of.
Our Difference

It's a place where you can push your boundaries, connect with your body, and grow your strength in a welcoming environment.
