From the reviews

How Katie and Yoga helped me through my MRI. I have been attending this studio since May and besides the great Pilates workouts (and people), I have also taken up the yoga classes they offer. I said from day one that the hardest part of yoga for me was learning how to breath and just relax.

★★★★★ — Tina, Aug 2018

Getting ready to start my 7th year of working out at IMX Franklin! This is an amazing studio with excellent trainers, everyone is friendly and super helpful regardless of your experience level.

★★★★★ — Kristin, Jan 2025

I've never tried Pilates before so when the Groupon offer came over for this location I jumped on it. The free introduction class was very informative and Stephanie did a great job walking us through the equipment.

★★★★★ — Tina, May 2018

I’m new to Pilates and took my first introductory reformer class with Stephanie nearly three months ago. Right away, I loved how the workout is both challenging and focused on core strength, flexibility, and overall body control, all while remaining low-impact.

Teacher training at IM=X Pilates & Fitness

IM=X Pilates & Fitness comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first barre class at IM=X Pilates & Fitness

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
