History

Established in 2003.

In 2003, Studio 208 began offering both Pilates and Personal training services. Spinning Hybrid Pilates was born in 2005, incorporating the Pilates Reformer Bed and the Star-​Trac Spinning Bike. In 2007, a mix of Bed, Spin and Strength combined to form Pilates Boot Camp Classes. In 2010 the eXo Chair and TRX suspension system were introduced, diversifying our core strengthening techniques even more. Power Circuit was created, using all equipment in a fast-​paced class. In 2013, Barre-​based classes expanded our offerings again, so all fitness levels can find a workout that fits their unique needs.
