As An Atmosphere
L&T Pilates prioritizes calmness and beauty in their space. Entering the studio will give you the space to turn off from the outside world, relax into your workout, and leave feeling accomplished, empowered, and energized
As A Workout
We are an alternative to studios that only practice Classical Pilates or high intensity Lagree Fitness. L&T's method is rooted in the foundation of Classical Pilates, but offers a contemporary twist making it more approachable to all bodies and fitness levels. Classes are creative, athletic, and taught in layers to allow clients to choose the intensity that is right for their body that day
As A Result
We offer results focused classes that are fast paced, energetic, and fun with modifications for all levels. Whether you are looking to build strength, flexibility, improve posture or balance, L&T Pilates is the studio for you.
As A Community
With our small class sizes, you’ll enjoy a sense of community and personalized attention from your instructor. The intimate setting also gives you the freedom to explore variations and flows that aren’t possible in larger classes.
Meet The Owner & Founder
Katie Freedman is the owner and founder of L&T Pilates, built to share her love of Pilates with the Bay Area community. Her passion for opening L&T came from a desire to share the type of Pilates she fell in love with—classes that feel inspired, intentional, and accessible, while still delivering a strong, results-driven workout.
At L&T, every instructor trains directly with Katie to learn the L&T method—ensuring that each class reflects the studio’s signature approach: thoughtful sequencing, safe and effective movement, a challenging flow, and a consistent client experience across the schedule
Katie’s mission is to help clients feel stronger, more connected, and more confident in their bodies—one sweat, smile, and flow at a time.
The L&T Pilates team is made up of passionate, highly trained instructors who are dedicated to helping you move with strength, intention, and confidence. We believe in thoughtful guidance, personalized attention, and creating a supportive space where every body feels welcome.
