Pilates is for EVERYBODY! Our teachers will design a workout to best suit your personal needs and goals. If you are recovering from an injury we always suggest you begin with some private sessions.

Everyone is unique. Consistency is key. Taking what you learn in your sessions and applying it to your daily life will accelerate your body's transformation. Lasting changes in your body can take time, but it’s important to know after each session you will leave feeling energized and rejuvenated!
There are so many studios out there and my gym or fitness center offers Pilates, why should I come to Moxie Mind & Body instead?
This is a great question and we have several reasons why...
Moxie Mind and Body can offer personal one-on-one Pilates training, something you won't typically find at your local gym.
We offer some of the highest quality Pilates training the Downtown and South Hills of Pittsburgh!
Our group classes are smaller and more intimate. The purpose of this is so the teacher is able to give you personal attention and corrections to help encourage everyone in the class to make smart decisions based on personal body needs.
We are a fully equipped studio. This means we are able to teach the entire Pilates Method as it was intended to be taught. Teaching the Pilates method in this fashion creates positive and lasting changes for your body. Many locations are only able to offer a small portion of the method or choose to teach it with a fusion of other methods. When presented in that fashion, changes in your body can take much longer to achieve and we don’t want to waste your time!
All teachers at Moxie Mind & Body are required to be fully certified or currently be pursuing a certification through a high standard and accredited training program (600+ hours of training at minimum).
