New pilates studio coming to the Iron Age Building in Downtown Birmingham

The Pilates Dwelling, a Black, female-owned studio, is coming to the Iron Age Building in the heart of Downtown Birmingham next week. 

The new studio isn’t just any Pilates spot. The Pilates Dwelling (TPD) is a “reformer Pilates” studio, which focuses on core control, flexibility and breath, according to Healthline. Whereas traditional Pilates is performed on a yoga mat, reformer Pilates is done on a spring-loaded carriage platform called a reformer.

“At TPD, our mission is to cultivate an experience that supports strength, intention and presence. We are more than a reformer Pilates studio; we are a place to dwell. Our member experience is shaped by a foundation of evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to enhancing our members’ health and well-being through community and the art of Pilates.”

TPD will have several programs designed to cater to different experience levels and goals: 

• Foundations: Designed to introduce clients to the essentials of Pilates form, breath and alignment
• Immersion: Blends form-focused sequencing with dynamic flows to build from the inside out
• Fortified: A strength-based experience focused on power, stability and control

The studio’s classes will be offered throughout the day — both morning and evening classes will be available — making them a perfect fitness option for folks always on the go. 

Right now, TPD is offering a special “founding membership” for those who want to get involved from day one. These discounted memberships include: 

• Unlimited class access
• Discounted pricing for life of membership
• Early access to opening class schedule

TPD officially opens its doors Monday, Oct. 27. Learn more about their classes, memberships and community through their socials, or visit them in person next week.
