Serving Wallingford, Seattle since 2006

this isn’t YOUR AVERAGE FITNESS session…

  • You’ll have the full, one-on-one attention of your instructor, who will customize your session to meet your unique needs.

  • Whether you’re new to exercise, working with an injury, or recovering from surgery, we’ll guide you through a safe and effective movement sequence to help you reach your goals.

  • The goal isn’t to push harder, but to help you move better. Over time, you will reduce pain, build strength and feel more at home in your body!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

  1. Choose your time. Select a time that works for your session.

  2. Create your MBO account + reserve your session. You’ll be prompted to set up your account and complete your purchase.

  3. Come in and get settled. Arrive a few minutes early for your first session to give yourself time to park, get settled and meet your instructor.

  4. We’ll guide you through the rest! Your session is tailored for you and if you decide to continue, we’ll help you find a simple, sustainable plan that fits your life!

 FAQs: New Student questions

  • Welcome, friend! Private sessions are PERFECT for beginners. Your instructor will show you how to use the machines, and guide you through a beginner-friendly exercise sequence without the pressure of trying to keep up with a group class…and you’ll have plenty of time to ask your questions!

    Some clients choose to start with just once a week and still feel and see the benefits of the work. A lot depends on your current level of activity.

  • IPrivate sessions are an excellent choice for folks who are getting back into movement after a long time away, as well as those living with injuries and chronic pain. Our instructors are all trained to work safely with injuries, and because you’ll have their complete attention, they’ll be able to customize the session to meet your needs.

  • If you’re human, you’ll fit right in at Studio Evolve. Whatever your age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity or perspective, all are welcome here.


    Our diverse clientele ranges in age from teenager to 90 years old and in fitness level from self-described “couch potato” to triathlete.


    Our restrooms and private changing area are gender-inclusive. We respect neurological diversity by tailoring sessions to the learning styles of the people actually in the class. That’s the benefit of private sessions and semi-private classes!

  • Yes, provided your doctor or physical therapist says it’s OK. Many of our clients have “graduated” from physical therapy, have been cleared to exercise and want a movement practice that keeps them healthy. Some clients start Private sessions while they are still completing their course of Physical Therapy. Our instructors are happy to consult with your physical therapist to create a safe and effective full-body movement program.

  • No need for fancy fitness clothes! Our inclusive wellness practices emphasize comfort. Just wear clothes you can move in—like a t-shirt and sweatpants. Studio Evolve is a welcoming, shame-free fitness space where your movement and comfort come first.

What Our Student Say

  • A woman in a purple shirt and black leggings sitting on a Pilates reformer machine, inside a fitness studio with a window and shelves with exercise equipment.

    “When I first started Pilates several years ago, I was afraid that I was not going to be able to get through an entire workout because I was really out of shape. But what I learned is that at Studio Evolve, ANYTHING can be adjusted to meet my current level of fitness and so my fear of not being able to complete a workout went away after coming to just one class."

    —Jillian

  • A woman practicing Pilates on a reformer machine in a studio with a mirror and posters on the wall, with a man in the background.

    “After breaking my femur and having a complicated knee replacement, I couldn't even stand to cook a meal. Pilates helped me recover and rebuild stability - I can trust my knee again, and I can even do squats now!”

    —Kate

  • A woman smiling and stretching in a gym or fitness center.

    "Between Pilates and PT, my plantar fasciitis has gotten so much better—it's night and day from what it used to be. Also, I don’t worry about what I look like, what I wear, or if my hair is done. I always feel free to adjust my workout, and it doesn’t feel like a competition."

    —Lucy

  • Smiling woman holding a large sign while standing in a store with shelves of colorful bowls and glassware behind her.

    "I found that the personal attention at Studio Evolve has made an enormous difference. The atmosphere is welcoming and open - it embraces you with calmness, serenity and even a sense of humor. I was grateful to see people my age when I joined, and it's where I met Frieda. That was the start of a cherished friendship that has supported us both in staying consisten and having fun with our Pilates practice."

    —Gail

  • A person practicing Pilates on a specialized reformer machine at a physical therapy or Pilates studio.

    "Before Pilates, my hip pain kept flaring up, but now it's so much more manageable - and my instructor tailors sessions so I can always move safely. The best surprise? I've actually grown taller! I've always been five three and change...now I'm five four and a quarter!"

    —Alisa

  • An older man with a red sleeveless shirt exercising on a Pilates reformer machine at a gym, smiling while doing a plank exercise, with a woman taking his photo in a mirror in the background.

    "Before Pilates, even riding the bus gave me painful back spasms. Now, with a stronger core, I don't worry about my back. The teachers worked with me to avoid pain and build confidence - it's ot just for 20-year-olds with perfect bodies, it's for anyone who wants to feel strong and keep doing what they love."

    —Geoff

  • A woman with shoulder-length curly hair smiling at the camera outdoors near water with a mountain and blue sky in the background.

    "When I started Pilates, my doctor said no yoga, no biking - and later told me my herniated disk had been so bad I was a candidate for back surgery. After consistent Pilates, the disk completely retracted, and surgery was no longer necessary."

    —Inga

Yes, you CAN use functional movement to build strength, reduce pain and prevent injuries…and at Studio Evolve, it’s actually fun!
