You can tell there’s a level of intention that goes into every detail here. The music, the flow and challenge of the classes, and how your nervous system is prioritized by pairing breath with movement. As a trainer and endurance athlete, the classes here have really complimented my strength and running training. I notice a significant difference in my core strength and how my joints feel while running long distances. They really do live up to their name, as I always leave the studio feeling stronger and calmer.

I started going to Strong&Calm in the summer when it first opened. It's always a little intimidating going to a new studio, but as I stepped into the warm, cutely decorated space, listening to the smooth calming music playing in the background, I instantly felt comfortable. The studio owner, Shannon greeted me. It was my first time taking a pilates class, and the entire time I felt like I could trust her. Shannon and the other instructor's have a way of taking you to your edge (where you discover new muscles that were dormant and start shaking uncontrollably 😝) in the most gentle and inviting way. It entices you to want to lean in and embrace the challenge. My pilates practice at Strong&Calm has done wonders for healing my rib flare and core strength after having a baby. The changes also show up in improved posture after 2 years of breastfeeding, or in the stability and strength that I feel while playing with my toddler. Though most importantly, it has been a beautiful place for me to slow down and be present in my body, since early motherhood can feel all so fast and chaotic. I am so happy to have this gem in Port Coquitlam, and the way they foster genuine connections and community here!!!

I joined because there was a great promotion for new members. Since it was a small class, I was able to focus better, and the warm, comfortable atmosphere made me feel relaxed just being there. It was my first time trying Pilates, and I could really feel all the muscles in my body being surprised! But after the class, I felt an amazing sense of confidence and awakening in my body. I’m also very thankful to the instructor for calmly encouraging each student and correcting our postures throughout the session. I’m so happy to have found such a wonderful place so close to home.

When you walk into the studio, the first thing you notice is how cozy and welcoming it feels; almost like stepping into a close friend’s home. Every detail shows the Shannon’s love and passion for creating a space where people feel comfortable and cared for. The workouts themselves can be challenging, but they do more than strengthen your body, they calm your nervous system and leave you feeling deeply relaxed. By the time you finish a class, it’s as if your whole body has exhaled. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Investing in your health here is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. It lifts your body, soul, and your mind, and you walk out feeling better in every way.

I cannot say enough great things about this Pilates studio! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with such warmth and professionalism that you immediately feel at ease. The space is clean, calming, and beautifully designed — the perfect environment to focus, move, and recharge. Shannon, the owner, is absolutely phenomenal. Her passion for Pilates and her clients shines through in every class. She’s not only highly knowledgeable and experienced, but she also takes the time to get to know each person and their individual needs. Whether you're a complete beginner or more advanced, Shannon creates a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. The classes are thoughtfully structured, challenging in the best way, and always leave me feeling stronger and more centered. You can tell that every detail — from the equipment to the programming — is handled with care and professionalism. If you're looking for a Pilates studio that truly stands out for its quality, community, and heart, look no further. This place is a gem, and Shannon is a true pro. Highly recommend!
