There’s something calm yet powerful about stepping inside Club Pilates Fort Lauderdale East. The reformers line up neatly, sunlight spills across the mirrored walls and quiet conversation gives way to the rhythmic cue of breath and movement. It’s not just another workout; it’s a space where people come to reconnect with their bodies and themselves.
For the studio’s owner, Adriana Puppin, who spent years in the fashion industry, the shift from style to strength was a natural evolution. “Fashion allowed me to sell dreams and emotion,” she says. “But Pilates let me do it in a more meaningful way—helping people feel stronger and more confident from the inside out.”
That idea (transformation through care) is the heartbeat of the studio. The classes focus on controlled, intentional movements, designed to strengthen the core, improve posture and ease tension throughout the body. Members often mention sleeping better, standing taller and feeling calmer after class. “Pilates isn’t just physical,” Puppin says. “It’s emotional. You leave feeling lighter, more grounded and ready to take on your day.”
The atmosphere is as restorative as the workout itself. Instructors know every member’s name, tailoring sessions to their needs while maintaining an inclusive and supportive environment. “Everyone moves at their own pace,” Puppin explains. “There’s no competition here—just encouragement.”
And that sense of connection extends far beyond the reformer. “When I went through a very difficult time, it was my members and staff who carried me,” she recalls. “They’re not just clients, they’re family.”
At Club Pilates Fort Lauderdale East, strength looks different on everyone, but the feeling of community is universal.
