About the Studio

Studio Elevate Fit is a boutique fitness studio taking pride in delivering exceptional fitness experiences to our clients of many ages and fitness journeys. We believe that movement is a tool to help you heal, process and grow to increase the quality of your life. You’ll never hear us talking about changing your body, instead we want to help you fall in love with the body you have right now as you get stronger mentally, emotionally and physically. Our instructors are experienced professionals in the fitness industry as well as compassionate humans. It’s a priority of ours to make every person in our studio comfortable, supported, challenged and inspired. All are welcome in our space.

We believe your surroundings have an impact on your overall exercise experience so our studio is beautifully designed and softly lit. No aggressive overhead florescent lighting here! Instead you’ll see gentle accent lighting and a plethora of LED candles.

Our classes are unique to anything you’ve ever experienced before. Perhaps you’ve taken Barre elsewhere, but our approach is fun and unique. This is true with each of our signature class formats.

At Studio Elevate Fit you can expect an incredible exercise experience in a comfortable community. Our goal is to help you protect your peace and elevate your spirit with movement!
