Who We Are

Breathe Diversity Pilates + Fitness opened in 2017 with a vision to create an inclusive Pilates space. Today, as we continue to serve and adapt to our community, our mission remains the same: to provide private sessions and group classes that emphasize functional strength, vitality and confidence delivered at the highest industry standards.

Led by owners with over 20 years of experience, our teachers work as a collective, continually refining their craft through regular practice and in-house workshops. We share a common belief: everyone deserves the opportunity to feel grounded, strong and confident in their body. Through encouraging, focused classes and private sessions, we aim to inspire body-positivity, mental resilience and a true sense of belonging that breaks down barriers to wellness.

We Believe

Being part of a diverse exercise community creates a love of fitness, encourages consistency and elevates the body, mind and spirit.

Tour Our Studio!

  • I’ve been taking Pilates classes from Sherrese for at least 5 or 6 years. Initially, the classes interested me because I didn’t know what Pilates was and because they were offered free to Hospital staff. To be perfectly honest I HATE every minute of exercise and I’m watching the clock the whole time. What keeps me coming back twice per week is Sherrese’s teaching style. She’s tough and pushes us to do things we think aren’t physically possible – like holding a plank. All with her wonderful sense of humor! She also changes it up so we’re never bored!

    I ALWAYS leave class glad I came! I also know my core is strong because of Sherrese!”

  • Sherrese has been my Pilates instructor for over 10 years and it’s been a lot of hard work on my behalf but it’s been a fun ride. Her enthusiasm, knowledge, detailed instructions, caring, dependability are the traits that put her at the top of her field. She encourages you to do your best and modify as needed and allow for injuries. Her antidotes are entertaining and funny. Her instructions are seamless as you progress from one move to the next – making sure the class is warmed-up properly. She’s one of a kind and the best.

  • Since starting Pilates, I have experienced a tremendous change in my body and in my self. I feel stronger, healthier, more balanced, and have better muscle tone than I can ever remember having. I know I owe my success to Sonya. Her attention to detail and understanding of not just how the human body but each individual body works make the workouts feel like I’m rewarding my body rather than punishing it like I had experienced before with other trainers and exercises. I look forward to my workouts rather than dread them. Sonya is a fantastic instructor and does a great job of working with and motivating me to get my body working and feeling the way it should.
