Pilates is the path to a fuller, more satisfying physical existence, confirms Tanja Whitman, franchisee co-owner of local Club Pilates studios, along with her husband, Jared Whitman. "We believe being in control of your body helps you to be in control of your life. And best of all, we believe you can start anytime," she adds.
"No matter age or level of fitness, there’s a Pilates class that will work for you, including those recovering from injuries," Jared assures.
The Whitmans' journey with Club Pilates began in 2021 when the COVID-19 pandemic prompted them to reflect on priorities, especially regarding balance and wellness. They launched their first studio locations in Murfreesboro during 2022 and 2023. They opened their East Nashville studio in June 2025, and are scheduled to add a Mount Juliet studio during late January or early February.
Tanja verifies Club Pilates instructors perform hundreds of hours of training to meet teacher standards so they can provide the highest quality Pilates workouts. They offer Reformer-based group fitness Pilates classes, each led by a certified instructor. The studio features a variety of apparatuses, including TRX, Exo-Chairs, Bosu balls, mats, rollers, springboards, weights and accessories to keep workouts dynamic and effective.
Each class is 50 minutes long, and can be conveniently booked through the Club Pilates app. Classes are offered seven days a week, with 12 attendees per class.
"We help members build strength, balance and mobility, and can even help strengthen core during pregnancies," states Tanja. "We also offer free introduction classes."
She says Pilates' programs provide many benefits: improved strength; increased flexibility; better posture; providing a full-body workout with minimal stress on body joints; enhanced balance and coordination; building lean muscle mass and toning bodies; strengthening muscles that support spines while improving alignment and reducing risks of back pain; increasing mind-body connection; and improving breathing and circulation.
