— About Saltwater Studio Pilates
The studio
At Saltwater Studio Pilates, we believe Pilates should stay true to its purpose—helping people move, feel, and live better. Every instructor at our studio is either comprehensively certified or actively completing a full certification program in the Classical Pilates system. Our training spans the full Pilates method—the Reformer, Towers, Chairs, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel, and more—so we can teach with a connected understanding of how each piece of equipment supports the body.
Thoughtful Teaching, Intentional Space
Saltwater Studio Pilates is a dedicated Pilates studio—not a gym that happens to offer Pilates classes. Every class and private session is designed around the Pilates method itself, taught with depth, precision, and care. Our instructors blend classical principles with a modern approach to create movement that’s engaging, challenging, and accessible for every body.
Our fully equipped studio was designed to encourage calm, focus, and connection. Group classes are intentionally small so each client receives personal attention and hands-on guidance. Whether you’re in a private session or a group class, you’ll find an environment that supports learning, progress, and genuine connection.
Private Training
Private sessions offer a deeper level of focus and access to the complete Pilates system. These sessions may include specialized apparatus such as the Cadillac, Ladder Barrel, or other equipment not used in group classes, allowing for customized programming tailored to your goals, experience, and body. This one-on-one setting offers the opportunity to refine movement, explore specific needs, and progress at your own pace.
Our Philosophy
Our purpose is simple: to teach Pilates with integrity, curiosity, and respect for the method—while making it approachable and enjoyable for every body. We focus on quality over quantity, meaningful movement over trends, and a genuine love for the work that we hope shines through every session.
meet Kristan
Kristan’s journey to wellness truly transformed when she discovered Pilates. After years of high-impact workouts that aggravated her scoliosis and left her feeling depleted, she found a method that strengthened her body while restoring her energy and confidence.
In 2014, as a busy mom of two, she embraced Pilates—and quickly realized it was more than just exercise. It reignited her love for movement and became a foundation for both physical and mental well-being. What she loves most about Pilates is that it meets you where you are, offering constant opportunities for growth and progress, not perfection.
Kristan is comprehensively trained across all Pilates apparatus and is certified through the National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP). She continues to expand her education and is committed to ensuring Saltwater Studio Pilates is staffed with knowledgeable, passionate instructors who help every client discover the same joy and empowerment that Pilates brought to her life.
