The Motivation

Pilates for everyone

Reformer – Pilates – Yoga

Three levels, five class types. MOTIV makes Reformer Pilates accessible, whether you’re new to the Reformer or have years of experience.
MOTIV was founded by Meaghan, a Pilates pro with 20+ years of experience, to demystify Reformer Pilates and make it more welcoming. Her vision is a friendly, supportive space with thoughtfully designed classes and a separate video-guided, instructorless option, helping everyone feel confident in their practice.

Testimonials

★★★★★

I started coming to MOTIV in April 2022, and my posture and strength have significantly improved. The instructors are friendly, professional and positive. I am challenged, encouraged and gently guided in the amazing instructor lead classes. Similarly, the Instructorless classes are easy to follow and offer a pleasant experience. There is an atmosphere of community, and a respect for the individual. I look forward to coming, enjoy while participating, and leave feeling brighter about the day ahead. I call it my Happy Place!

★★★★★

I have been a member at Motiv Pilates for a few years and I am very happy, I have become stronger and more flexible which was and remains my goal. I was drawn to the Reformer and it quickly became part of my regular fitness routine. The Instructors are professional and attentive, guiding me through classes and always answers any questions that I have. The Motiv schedule allows for many choices of classes/times and it’s easy to book classes online, especially using the app.
