The Motivation

Pilates for everyone

Reformer – Pilates – Yoga

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.
