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 highly recommend Breathe Diversity Pilates and Fitness. It is one of my most favorite places to be! The owners Sonya and Sherrese are the best! I have never felt stronger and more in-tuned with my body. As a massage therapist my job is physically and mentally demanding, but luckily I have this place to help take care of me. My back and shoulders are stronger then they have ever been, my posture has improved and I feel amazing! Having Sonya and Sherrese guide me in classes and on the reformers has brought strength, fun, and balance to my life. Every week, every class is different and challenges me in many ways. I can’t say enough about studio. Huge thank you to Sonya and Sherrese and the community of Breathe Diversity Pilates and Fitness.

  • I’ve become noticeably stronger, more flexible, and more in tune with how I move and carry myself throughout the day. But beyond the physical benefits, what’s kept me coming back to BDP is the incredible sense of community. The teachers are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in each person’s growth.  Plus, the vibe in the room—thanks to the people—is always upbeat and welcoming, which keeps me coming back. BDP classes are more than a workout—they are the grounding part of my week.

  • 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!”
