STOTT PILATES™ exercise is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. Cofounders Moira and Lindsay G. Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, have spent more than two decades refining the STOTT PILATES™ method of exercise and equipment. This resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation, making it one of the safest and effective methods available. This clear and detailed approach forms the basis for STOTT PILATES™ training and certification programs. It’s used by rehab and prenatal clients, athletes, celebrities and everyone in between.”

With an emphasis on breath, core conditioning and body awareness, STOTT PILATES™ exercise is a safe and highly effective way to stretch, strengthen and streamline your body without building bulk or stressing your joints.

Performed on a mat or specialized equipment, STOTT PILATES™ exercise is a fitness regime for a lifetime. The perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, sport, rehab and life, STOTT PILATES™ exercises will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalized and moving with ease.

the Pink Ribbon Program™

The Pink Ribbon Program™ is a series of modified Pilates exercises designed to help breast cancer survivors improve the range of motion in their arms, shoulders and other areas affected following breast cancer surgery. The Pink Ribbon Program™ is carefully customized and designed for each participant every step along the way, no matter where they are in the recovery process.
