Classical Pilates Monroe

Calie Lewis - Studio OwnerI discovered Pilates in 2005 through an infomercial featuring Daisy Fuentes and Mari Winsor, promising a stronger, leaner body. Little did I know those DVDs would change my life.Having struggled with my weight since childhood, I lost and regained 80 pounds multiple times before making the life-changing decision to undergo bariatric surgery. I committed to a healthy lifestyle, lost 127 pounds, and made exercise a key part of maintaining my weight loss. But in 2017, a back injury stopped me in my tracks. Desperate to get moving again, I turned to doctor Google—and what I found looked a lot like Pilates.I dusted off those DVDs, and within two weeks, my back pain had significantly improved. I felt stronger, more mobile, and completely hooked—I wanted to do Pilates all the time! Around the same time, I was searching for a more fulfilling career. When I walked into a studio and saw "Teacher Training" written on the chalkboard, I knew: this was it. At 47, I began my journey as a Pilates instructor, proving it’s never too late to follow your passion.Now, as the owner and instructor at Classical Pilates Monroe, I help others strengthen their bodies, improve mobility, and feel their best through the authentic classical method. Pilates has kept me back pain-free, helped me maintain my weight loss, and made me feel younger than ever—I like to say, my Pilates glow is better than Botox!I hold certifications in Classical Pilates and MELT Method Hand & Foot & Level 1 training.Come experience the power of Pilates with me at Classical Pilates Monroe—book your session at
