The Training Toole Pilates Studio

08/10/2026

We are VERY excited to announce our 10 Year Brick & Mortar Anniversary!

The Training Toole was founded in 2004. And in 2016, we made the transition from solely an-in home company, to opening up in a very small space downtown.

Over the past 10 years, we have grown from a tiny room and 1 Team member into a Team of 12 and 2 Studios. And we are continuing to grow!

Please, come celebrate this big milestone of a decade!
We'd love to see you!

Sign up here to stay in the know, hear all the exciting things we have planned, and to reserve your spot: https://link.thetrainingtoole.com/.../d0tfD47Hco5B4nHMgUV7

One of the biggest 🙅🏻‍♀️myths🙅🏻‍♀️ about Pilates is that you need to be stronger, more flexible, or already in shape before you begin.

But that’s like saying you need to know how to swim before taking swimming lessons. 🏊🏽‍♀️

Pilates is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you haven’t exercised in years, feel stiff and weak, or are returning after an injury or surgery, the right class and the right instructor can help you begin safely.

At The Training Toole Pilates Studio, we teach the movements step by step, offer options for your body, and help you build strength, mobility, and confidence one workout at a time.

You don’t need to get ready for Pilates. Pilates can help you become ready for everything else.

A Mat Pilates class does not include certain exercises.

Unfortunately, far too many Fitness places are slapping “Pilates” classes on their schedule when in actuality, they are fitness classes.

Sure, Pilates principles can intertwine with fitness movements…and let’s call classes the RIGHT name.

If you aren’t following the repertoire, the principles, and teaching the body in front of you - it’s NOT Pilates.

Pilates is an amazing form of movement.

It’s also a precise, controlled, specific form of movement.

The little details matter. The intricate tweaks of your body position create better alignment and working of the proper muscles.

You should be getting this cueing and alignment explanations in class.

If you work with us, this is a vital part of your experience.

Ready to start? Message us today.

And here’s some tweaks you can work on in Backrowing Preps - Airplane.

Side Plank and any Pilates movements where you are side lying - keep your side body lifted! Use those obliques and don’t sink into the side.
