Welcome to Powerhouse Pilates!
We’re thrilled to welcome you to the studio! Creating a space where people can discover their strength and feel empowered has always been our dream, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring Powerhouse Pilates to downtown Lexington. Whether you’re here to move your body, try out contrast therapy, or treat yourself to something on the retail rack, we hope you feel the care, passion, and dedication that has gone into making this space truly unique.
The Full Apparatus
A complete experience, not a partial one
We train on Merrithew equipment — trusted in physical therapy clinics and elite athletic facilities worldwide. Our reformers feature extended carriages that accommodate a wider range of bodies and movement. Many studios offer reformers and nothing else. We have the complete traditional suite.
Reformers The signature piece — a spring-resistance carriage that supports and challenges through hundreds of exercises.
Towers Full-body resistance from above and below for strength and precision.
Stability Chairs Compact and demanding balance, strength, and coordination in one.
Ladder Barrels For spinal articulation and stretches difficult to replicate anywhere else.
Spine Correctors A curved barrel that opens the chest and addresses postural imbalance.
Not all Pilates
is created equal.
There are a lot of places to take a Pilates class. Here’s what makes ours different — honestly.
Pilates isn’t a trend. It’s a movement system with nearly a century of refinement behind it — and how it’s taught makes all the difference. This is how we honor it.
Keeping Pilates true — and relevant
Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates, who called his system “Contrology” — the art of controlled movement. He believed the body works as a whole, and that strength, flexibility, and mental focus should be built together. That philosophy has been passed down through generations of teachers ever since.
Our founder, Aly Beaulieu, along with her team of qualified instructors, teaches the classical method with a contemporary touch: we protect the integrity, order, and principles of the original system while making thoughtful adjustments that serve real, modern bodies. We’re not reinventing Pilates. We’re keeping it true.
Instruction You Can Trust
A credential that’s rare — and a leader who teaches
Here’s something most people don’t know: Pilates is an unregulated industry. Anyone can call themselves an instructor, and some certifications take as little as a weekend. Comprehensive training — the gold standard — takes hundreds of hours of anatomy, apprenticeship, and hands-on work across every piece of apparatus.
450–900 + Hours — Comprehensive (our standard)
vs.
16–40 + Hours — a weekend certificate
Aly holds the National Certificate in Pilates Teaching (NCPT), the highest independent credential in the field, and personally oversees the continuing education of every instructor on our team.
Many studios are owned by people who don’t teach Pilates themselves and have no real way to know whether their instructors are teaching well. That’s never the case here. Every instructor at Powerhouse is comprehensively certified, and Aly knows exactly what’s being taught on our floor.
Small Classes, Real Attention
You’re seen, because you are
We cap every class at eight clients, and we hold that line on purpose. In a packed room, instructors teach to the crowd instead of the person. Your instructor knows your name, watches your form, corrects you in the moment, works around your injuries, and pushes you the day you're ready for more. You came to be guided, not counted.
Recovery, Built In
Wellness beyond the workout
Recovery matters as much as the work, so we offer contrast therapy right here on site. Alternating hot and cold exposure helps boost circulation, ease inflammation, and speed recovery. It's a rare find in a boutique studio, and it reflects how we see your health: the whole body, not just the workout.
The Powerhouse Pilates Difference
We are a boutique Pilates and wellness studio that empowers every client to find and embrace their inner powerhouse.
Education
Our instructors are comprehensively certified, which means they are experts in what they do. You can expect challenging material in every class.
Wellness
Pilates is a functional strength training practice that allows you to perform better in your everyday life. In addition to the classes we offer, we offer contrast therapy, and sell retail that aligns with our mission to promote a health-conscious community.
Connection
One of the best parts of Pilates is that it’s a mind-body experience. We move with purpose and intention so that we can deepen our connection to ourselves and feel a sense of community with the class.
Pilates
Is A
