Pilates Fit Studio, located in Pewee Valley, has announced the grand opening of its 2nd location on Rudy Lane in Louisville, KY. Erica Walters, the owner of Pilates Fit Studio (PFS), along with the co-owners of the new location, Susan White and Andrea Camiolo, will host a grand opening party on Friday, November 8th for everyone interested in seeing the new location.
The event will be held from 11 AM to 2 PM and will include refreshments, a ribbon- cutting ceremony, Pilates demonstrations and more.
Pilates Fit Studio, which solely focuses on the Classical Pilates Method created by Joseph Pilates, was founded by Erica Walters in 2014 as a home studio and in 2017 was moved to a new location in the historic district of Pewee Valley. As her business expanded over the years, the need to open a second location became apparent but with the demands on her to manage her original location, the necessity to bring in additional help was a must.
After careful consideration, Erica decided that Susan White, who was an integral part of her first location, and Andrea Camiolo, a Physical Therapy Assistant, client and close friend, would be the perfect team to take on the challenge of opening and managing the second location.
“We believe that opening a second location would significantly strengthen our brand and help us reach a new customer base,” stated Erica. When asked about the pace of growth for PFS she responded by saying: “Our team has grown from one instructor to a total of nine highly skilled teachers over the past few years.”
Another important factor in her decision to open a second location was the fact that she is an authorized host studio for Real Pilates Teacher Training NYC which, in combination with PFS, has played a key role in certifying instructors in the Classical Method who live in Louisville, KY and surrounding areas.
“Adding a second location will allow us to expand our program and honor Mr. Pilates’ legacy even more,” Erica mentioned when being asked about the expansion of Pilates Fit Studio.
The upcoming PFS location on Rudy Lane in Louisville is set to establish its distinct identity. Both the Pewee Valley and Louisville (Rudy Lane) Pilates studios will feature Classical Pilates and the GYROTONIC® Method. In addition, the Louisville PFS facility will offer specialized Physical Therapy for Women’s Health led by Dr. Christy Carosello, PT, DPT, and Dr. Rachelle Sweeny, PT, DPT. Their expertise encompasses prenatal care, postpartum recovery, pelvic floor therapy, as well as orthopedic and manual physical therapy. Moreover, PFS Louisville will introduce the exclusive SpringTone® class, a high-intensity resistance training experience utilizing a variety of weighted springs. This class includes timed circuits and targeted body part exercises, promoting a dynamic workout to increase heat, tone, and overall fitness while ensuring an enjoyable experience.
