At Meridian Pilates we work with bodies as they are, it's not about making you fit into a mold, it's about a personalized approach to whole-body health and fitness. Our knowledgeable, approachable teachers help you to achieve greater coordination, flexibility, core strength and movement awareness. I have been a regular at Meridian Pilates for close to three years and highly recommend them.
They have a great variety of equipment and teaching formats. The instructors are knowledgeable, experienced and lighthearted. They offer a range of styles so I learn something different from each of them. The reception staff are top-notch and happy to help setup a schedule tailored to my needs. I have been with Meridian since the studio started.

Developed by its founder, Joseph H. Pilates in the early 20th century, Pilates is a unique and comprehensive fitness program. Its origins and influences lie in the various disciplines of yoga, dance, gymnastics, martial arts and weight training.
When practiced regularly, the system of exercises (there are over 500) creates a strong, toned, supple body, enhances awareness of postural alignment and stabilization, and aids in developing efficient movement patterns throughout the whole body.Joseph Pilates encouraged uniform development in all of his students - the goal was not just change in musculature, it was an attempt to increase a person's overall health, the quality of his or her life.

Meridian Pilates:
- has a chill west coast vibe. No showing off. Just the real deal.
- hires the best instructors. They are super knowledgable about bodies and movement. They are kind and encouraging and tailor the exercises for all levels of fitness.
- has kept me committed to exercise and wanting more for over 10 years!
- has healed me from injuries and has kept my body lean and strong. I'm 52 and feeling much younger (I even grew an inch!)

This is the place I've been looking for years to practice Pilates! I've been training extensively in Europe for several years, and after moving to Vancouver I tested several studios in order to find the proper place for my practice. I know it takes many years of teaching and own practice to become a skilled instructor, you don't become a good one overnight, and here are more people like this! I really appreciate your professional approach, the extensive knowledge of the moving body and the creativity of each class. It's a pleasure to train here, no matter the class or the instructor - and I worked

I arrived at Meridian pilates three years ago as a complete beginner. After one month, I started to regain mobility in areas that I thought were "stuck" forever. I take two classes a week and my flexibility, mobility and strength continue to improve each week. The studio is small with a welcoming friendly vibe, the instructors are the best, and the clients are all friendly. I highly recommend Meridian to everyone of all fitness levels.

I was living on cortisone shots to control pain until I visited Meridian Pilates. In a few sessions they identified the source of the pain and proceeded to work with me on developing the necessary strength to align my body and get the muscles working the way they should. Meridian rescued me! The instructors are a delight to work with.

I’ve been to four different Pilates studios over the past 18 years, but I don’t feel that I ever really knew what Pilates actually is until I found Meridian several years ago on the advice of a friend. I came to Meridian with bad, chronic lower back issues which after two private sessions were almost completely resolved - a couple more weeks in group classes and my pains were gone, never to return! I feel strong in ways I never have in my many years, and I’ve brought in two of my close friends who have likewise become Meridian regulars, each of them declaring that their lifelong back and

Highly recommend this studio. The instructors there are very knowledgeable and professional.
I started going there in 2014 with a slipped disc issue that no Physio, kinesiologist, chiropractor and other specialist could help me. Constant pain that I could not even sit for 10 minutes. With careful instructions, I was given exercises and shown how to do them properly. I am doing things like hiking, swimming and other activities that I never thought I could imagine being able to ever do again.
I continue to go on a regular basis. I am so thankful to have such a great group of instructors.

This is a top-tier studio. I have worked with a number of the instructors -- they are superior in their knowledge and so insightful about individual bodies. My general fitness and resilience have increased enormously; I also got expert help in recovering from a broken arm. The classes are challenging but relaxing, and fun! The studio is a happy and positive place. It is also spotless, and the office managers are on top of their game. I love going here.
