About Us
Our main goal at Studio 1 is simple, we want to teach you how to be healthy, strong and fit. We realize that this can mean different things for different people. For some that can mean 30-60 minutes of exercise 5 days a week to keep in shape and maintain a healthy body. For others that can be 12-18 hours a week to prepare for a triathlon. We have something for everyone whether that be coaching and supplemental strength training for athletes, or rehabilitory work for people coming off injuries with Pilates. We have decades of experience, and a wide range of capabilities developed over years of teaching, coaching and training people of all ages.
