Long story short, our shared dream became a reality when The Pilates Pros of South Florida was born. Since then, we made it our mission to make every member of our community feel like a Pilates pro.
in 2023 to be exact, our paths crossed in the Pilates universe. We instantly bonded over shared beliefs that 1. Pilates should be more approachable. And 2. Everyone who wants to can enjoy it, and feel supported while doing it.
Once upon a time...
have freedom within your practice. Throw out the idea of what Pilates is or should be and embrace whatever it is for you.
We believe you deserve to...
have support, with easy-to-follow classes, simple cueing, and a team of pros to guide you along the way
have fun in your practice, because why not? YOLO and science says you’re more likely to stick to something you enjoy. It’s a win-win.
Hi! Elisha here. I’m a comprehensively certified Pilates instructor, and the Co-founder of Pilates Pros. I first fell in love with Pilates while I was working a corporate tech job where I was spending long hours at a desk. Pilates helped me change that: it energized me, centered me, and inspired me when not a lot else was!
Fast forward to 2019 - I moved to South Florida and got certified. And over the last 5 years of teaching - Pilates has continued to be a light for me. Recently, I’ve dealt with 2 injuries that have changed the way I can move my body (goodbye heavy weights + yoga ).
I share this with you because these injuries opened my eyes and deepened my knowledge of the importance of movement that is truly for everyBODY. When I felt frustrated, and limited by my injuries, Pilates showed me that there was a way - a way to move safely, freely, and effectively.
Pilates has supported me through so many different phases of life, and for that, I feel grateful. And more importantly, I feel inspired to show others, that no matter what you’re dealing with — physical or mental — Pilates can be a tool to support you through it.

Hi! Nicole here. I’m a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher and Co-Founder of Pilates Pros. My experiences with anxiety and depression helped me learn how beneficial mind-body exercises are for mental and physical health.
After practicing for over seven years, I took my commitment to Pilates to the next level and became certified in 2021. I've been teaching for three years and my flows are always customized with your mind, in mind. Wherever you are on your movement journey, I'll meet you on the mat with kindness.
