About Us

BOTH JOE AND I HAD PRACTICED PILATES Sara Allegri Joe Sopala for years before deciding to open our own studio. We both knew it was time to venture out after returning from a Pilates convention in Venice where we were touched by a wonderful group of inspiring people who dedicated their lives practicing and teaching this amazing discipline.
We also knew that something this special had to be shared with others. Shortly after mentioning the idea of opening a new studio hundreds of enthusiastic future clients were already expressing interest in attending our first classes. This dedicated support from friends and family gave us that convincing push we needed to follow through with our plans to open up our very first Pilates Island Studio.
Biography of Sara Allegri
Pilates is such a complete exercise system with so much to offer to so many people with varying needs that we decided to provide a unique variety of classes to satisfy those needs. We cannot begin to express how satisfying it is helping others discover how Pilates can change the way they see themselves, develop a higher self-esteem and even turn their lives around.

We both understood right off the bat that the Pilates technique had many beneficial aspects, but how it was uniquely beneficial to the essential core muscles was probably the foundation of its success. Knowing this little secret we decided to never stop focusing on the essentials of building up a strong core. We even integrate other amazing disciplines such as BOSU and TRX to help compliment a good Pilates workout.

Since we consider Pilates the “true science of wellness” and science is always moving forward, we too are dedicated to staying on top of the game by attending Pilates refresher courses as frequently as possible.

For those not familiar with this discipline, Pilates can be practiced both on a floor mat as well as on specifically designed apparatus. We are equipped with all the apparatus and props; including body circles, soft balls, elastic bands, Pilates Arcs and all the larger apparatus such as the Reformer, Chair, Ladder Barrel, Cadillac, Ped-o-Pull and the Spine Corrector.

“Our sole motivation that keeps us moving forward is you, and there is nothing more satisfying than helping you experience the true benefits of Pilates.”
