About us
Union Pilates is Mount Pleasant's home for physical education, mind-body integration, and returning to life through movement. We offer private and group instruction both on and off our specialized Pilates equipment — in a space built for depth, not spectacle.
We are a classical, lineage-based studio, honoring the original work of Joseph Pilates through his longtime student and first-generation master teacher, Ron Fletcher. Highlighting the exclusive Fletcher Pilates® repertoire, refined over decades of study, our approach includes breathwork, myofascial release, nervous system regulation, postural analysis and whole body integration. Every class is designed to progress you through safe, precise, and deeply intentional exercises — building a movement practice that balances strength, mobility, and spirit.
This depth comes from real expertise. Every Union teacher has a minimum of 600 hours of comprehensive training across the full range of Pilates equipment — not just in choreography, but the far rarer skill of truly seeing the body in front of them and responding to what it needs. We keep our classes small and our attention individualized, because meaningful movement education can't happen at scale. You won't find loud music, flashy trends, or a room full of strangers here. You'll find teachers who know your name, your history, and your goals.
Union Pilates also offers specialty services for professional athletes and dancers, as well as for clients referred by medical professionals for injury rehabilitation and prevention. We work closely alongside our clients' health care providers, helping bridge the gap from rehabilitation to lasting fitness with continuity, communication, and care.
We are grateful to live, teach and move on the unceded territories of the ʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel ̓ íl ̓witulh (TsleilWaututh) First Nations.
Why Union?
Union Pilates was built for people who want more than a workout — who are looking for a practice, a community, and a place that feels like it was made for them, not mass-produced for everyone.
We are a community of people from all walks of life, ages, and abilities, united by the joy of movement. There's no pretense here, no trends to keep up with, no judgment about where you're starting from. Just skilled, thoughtful instruction and a room full of people who feel like they belong.
Whether you're seeking healing, renewed vitality, or refined performance, our approach lives at the intersection of dynamic movement, quiet artistry and rehabilitative care guided by breath. Our teachers are as dedicated to precision and discipline as they are to warmth — because we believe the best results come from feeling truly seen and supported.
This is Pilates as it was meant to be practiced: unhurried, deeply personal, and built on a lineage of intelligent movement education. Whatever brought you here, we're ready to meet you exactly where you are.
