Studio 17

Studio 17 is a Classical Pilates studio that teaches the original Joseph Pilates method on traditional apparatus. The studio is fully equipped with Contrology equipment from Balanced Body, including the Cadillac, Reformer, Barrels and Chairs, along with small apparatus for work on the mat. The method focuses on precise, controlled movement, breath and mind-body connection, and the studio is known for its private 1:1 sessions.

New clients begin with a "Getting Started" package of two private sessions that build a foundation in Classical Pilates, and many continue with private training afterward. Classes start promptly, so arrive 5 to 10 minutes early, and cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice. Wear fitted clothing without zippers, tie back long hair, and practice barefoot or in grip socks since street shoes are not allowed. The studio is at Hampton Station on Hampton Street Ext, to the left of Hallowed Earth Pottery, and is open Monday through Saturday.
