why rent at queer pilates?
PILATES IS FOR ALL OF US.
CHIC VIBES. ACCESSIBLE RATES. PRIVATE + PRIVATE-ISH.
I built Queer Pilates because I didn’t see myself or my community reflected in Pilates—especially online. Inclusion here is intentional. Queer and trans people, fat people, people of color, older folx, neurospicy people, and a whole range of bodies and identities should see themselves in this space.
I also know how expensive becoming a Pilates teacher can be. I was fortunate enough to buy my own reformer while training, and I was even charged for observation hours. I want to make that path easier for the people coming after me. Observation at QP is free with client consent, and rental rates are intentionally accessible.
Working professionals deserve a better space, too. I’ve seen teachers working side by side in echoing rooms, duets taught on mismatched reformers, and studios where they or their clients may not see themselves reflected. QP offers well-equipped, thoughtfully designed spaces with more privacy—so you can focus on your client and your teaching.
Come practice. Come teach. Bring your clients. Let’s build a Pilates community that looks more like Oakland—and beyond.
