Our story
We created something we were looking for, that didn’t exist.
“Especially after having my child, I lacked the confidence to go back to the gym. Before I fell pregnant, I was in the gym every day at 6am, strength training. During pregnancy, I fell in love with Pilates, and I wanted something that combined the two: the strength resistance training, with the control of Pilates, without the intimidation of walking into a gym and wandering around, not really knowing how half the equipment even worked.”
Aimee
Ami felt the same pull. She’d always loved both Pilates and strength training, and had spent a long time wanting to bring the two together properly, rather than having to choose one or the other. Through building her own community, she kept hearing the same thing from people around her: they wanted to feel strong, but they also wanted somewhere approachable, welcoming and judgement-free. Somewhere that didn’t feel like a typical gym floor. Pilates gave people that calm, guided structure, but so many were craving the challenge and payoff that comes with strength training too.
When Ami came along to one of Aimee’s reformer Pilates classes in April 2024, it was clear they were both chasing the same thing. They clicked instantly, and what began as a shared love of reformer Pilates quickly grew into a shared vision: to build the studio they’d both been searching for and couldn’t find anywhere else. Aimee’s expertise running successful reformer studios, combined with Ami’s passion for building community, aligned perfectly, and Studio 141 was born.
That connection is what Studio 141 is built on: two people who found strength, confidence and community through reformer Pilates, coming together to build a studio where everyone else can too.
The name ‘141’ is Ami’s angel number, a personal tribute to her grandad, and it tied in beautifully with Aimee’s own studio background, making it feel like the perfect fit for what they were building together.
