The Studio. The Team
A welcoming space to move better.
At Pilates Franklin, you will work with STOTT PILATES® certified instructors in a bright, welcoming studio designed for personalized attention. Whether you are brand new to Pilates or continuing an established practice, you will find expert guidance, modern equipment, and a supportive environment built around your goals.
We don’t just teach Pilates. We certify the people who do.
Pilates Franklin is a certified STOTT PILATES Academy Training Partner. That distinction shapes everything — our instructors have trained to a depth most studios don’t require, and it shows up in every session: in the modifications, the progressions, and the details most instructors skip.
What distinguishes Pilates Franklin from other studios is our longevity. Established in 2015, we have maintained our culture of excellence under the trained leadership of Laura Foutz and her growing staff of dedicated instructors.

We certify other instructors, not just clients
Intentionally small, by design
Built on something deeper than a trend.
As the premier STOTT PILATES studio in middle Tennessee, Pilates Franklin has been providing the “Gold Standard” in pilates education and instruction for over 10 years! Our mission is to provide clients with hyper-individualized programming and exceptional instruction that produces safe and effective movement in a friendly and approachable atmosphere.
We’ve stayed intentionally small. Small classes, small groups, a studio where the instructors actually know your name and your history. That’s not an accident. It’s the point.
Why STOTT PILATES?
STOTT PILATES is a contemporary, evidence-informed approach to Pilates grounded in modern exercise science. It emphasizes spinal health, neutral alignment, and intelligent modification — making it effective for a wide range of bodies, goals, and injury histories.
Unlike more performance-focused or trend-driven approaches to Pilates, STOTT PILATES is built to work for real people with real bodies. It is rigorous without being rigid, precise without being punishing. It is also the standard we hold ourselves to, which is why we chose to become a host training center for it.
