I cannot recommend Katelyn enough! I actually followed her here from another studio because she is just that amazing. Her classes are challenging in the best way—she pushes you while still making everything approachable, and her energy is so motivating. She takes the time to correct form and really cares about her clients’ progress. Every class feels different and fresh, and I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. If you’re looking for a phenomenal instructor at Pilates Powerhouse, Katelyn is the one!

Pilates (especially reformer) can be incredibly intimidating; however, I am so thankful I mustered up the courage to step foot in this studio! Chris knows the science, movements, and instruction incredibly well. I have done group classes where she both participates and instructs, having no issues following along with the movements, verbal, and physical queues. She knows the movements thoroughly and is quick to provide positive yet critical feedback, which helps to maximize each motion. I’m an intense athlete and her classes are challenging, yet fly by. I would highly recommend!!

My orthopedist suggested Pilates Powerhouse for my back and shoulder pain and they designed exercises specifically for me. They have really been helpful.

I've been going to Pilates Powerhouse once a week typically from Mid October until Memorial day since 2011. I've worked with most of the staff there (currently Valerie), and can say that my weekly session contributes greatly to my excellent physical health and core strength. Chris is the best and truly works with all her clients to maximize their experience and benefits at the studio.

Awesome experience! Staff is very professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging. One on one sessions have been wonderful-great workouts! The staff has been very careful to not aggravate an old injury while getting me stronger which has drastically helped decrease pain for me.
Looking forward to group classes which are smaller groups so you are not lost in a crowd. I highly recommend Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab!

Was visiting the area from out of town and decided to pop in for a small group class. The studio was very clean, well kept and the class was excellent- tough but good! (I believe the instructors name was Hope?) Would recommend!

I had been practicing Pilates for 3 yrs prior to coming to this studio. My body changed in 3 months! I didn't realize what a difference the Stott Method makes. All of Chris' instructors are excellent at what they do. I'm 53, and my body has never felt or looked better! Thank you Pilates Powerhouse.

Powerhouse Pilates is a wonderful studio full of amazing equipment and trained and talented instructors. Chris Cantrell helps in very specific ways to train and equalize my muscle function so that my scoliosis does not put me in pain. And she has helped other friends who have had knee surgeries so that they could be back on the tennis court. Fantastic atmosphere and attention to detail. I am very blessed to have the opportunity to work out there.

Chris Cantrell is amazing, she has helped undo years of damage from sitting wrong, slouching, and most recently a herniated disc. She identified issues within my spine, rib cage, hips, etc that no other healthcare practitioner has, or at least hasn’t explained to me well. I felt incredible relief after just a few visits and now I’m hooked. Would give her 10 stars if I could

I’ve been going to Pilates Powerhouse for a couple of years. The instructors are more knowledgeable than any Pilates studio I’ve ever been to. Chris is creative, each session is filled with knew moves. Clare’s instruction is so specific working the tiniest of muscles to strengthen not just the core, but the whole body.
My sports medicine physician sent me to Pilates Powerhouse to help with recurring sciatica and I’m happy she did. It worked, and I found an amazing informed place to practice.

My husband and I both have had back pain for many years, we’re both in our 70’s. We’d tried all kinds of treatments and therapies, with little success. After an MD told my husband that he was not a candidate for “minimally Invasive surgery” for his back because it was so bad, he suggested he try Pilates. That’s when we did research and found Pilates Powerhouse and Rehabilitation. We have been going regularly to classes at Pilates Powerhouse and Rehabilitation for a couple of years and are happy to report that we have both been pain free since shortly after starting. I’ve been to other Pilates studios and have not found anyone else who offers such a clean, safe, effective workout. During Covid , we continued taking classes virtually. We are now back to the studio in person, everyone with masks and being socially distanced. The owner Chris Cantrell is an amazing leader who listened to our issues and adjusts the workouts accordingly. My husband enjoys his workouts so much, he chose to go even on his birthday. This is a man who has always hated any type of exercise. I cannot say enough about this studio and the trainers.Try it out, You won’t be sorry that you did!!

What I appreciate most about my Pilates instruction is the attention to detail. The slight adjustments in the body's position are certainly impactful. Instruction is clear, and variations of exercise make the session valuable and still fun.

Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab Center was a lifesaver and life changer for me. I had double total knee replacement surgery in November several years ago. I went to PP&RC and started working with Chris (who is absolutely amazing) after the PT facility I was working with caused me to feel all stiff, compacted and blocky instead of loose, flexible and limber. Chris developed a program that put me back playing competitive USTA tennis within 6 weeks and I went to compete in the USTA Nationals later that year . My Doctors had told me it would be around 6 MONTHS before I'd be able to play competitive tennis again. Chris is not only a fantastic Pilates Master Instructor, she is a very caring and understanding person !!!! I CANNOT say enough wonderful things about Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab Center and Chris !!!! They were a true life saver for me !!!! JG

When I came to PPRC, I was recovering from surgery for a meniscus tear. The first 7 days post surgery went remarkably well. My daughter commented on how well I was getting around. But, on day 8, during a particularly aggressive session with the physical therapist, my knee was torqued. The agony I experienced was far worse than any discomfort from the meniscus surgery. I was barely able to walk two blocks without serious pain and was scheduled for partial knee replacement surgery.

While I awaited knee replacement surgery, I began private sessions with Chris. As a result of my previous experience with PT, I was hypervigilant about my safety. I soon recognized Chris' level of expertise and began to feel comfortable. Chris was very tuned-in to my needs. Every session began with her assessing how I was feeling and whether I was experiencing any issues.

After 6 months of private sessions, I graduated to a reformer class! I am so grateful I made that first appointment with Chris. I've referred friends who have also become devotees of Chris. I highly recommend not only Chris, but the other Pilates instructors at PPRC. Chris remains keenly aware of the activities in her studio. Pilates is the only form of "exercise" I have never wanted to quit!

Chris And Angela are fantastic instructors in the studio with top notch equipment! Chris has also been a lifesaver during Covid doing 3 mat classes/week on zoom. Each class is different and a very good workout with props if you have them, but completely doable without. She has recently built up a library of classes that you can purchase on the Mindbody app if you prefer. Now is a good day to get started!

I came to rehab after debilitating neurological pain which had kept me from my decades long yoga practice and dancing. Chris listened to my issues, goals, designed a program including virtual group classes all which have resulted in the best shape I have been in since the problems started. My quality of life and head space have improved significantly after 6 months of this work.

My back has bothered me for years and my doctor suggested I try Pilates. My wife and I tried several places which we didn’t like, and finally found Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab and Chris Cantrell who is wonderful. They work at your pace and need and make sure you are doing things correctly so as not to make things worse. Some of the Pilates places we tried had a one size fits all approach which just didn’t work for us. We love the individualized approach at Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab. Both our backs are better and we look forward to doing Pilates each week. Do yourself a favor and check our Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab.

I have gone to PP&RC for several years now, and have had Pilates sessions with several different trainers. The studio is very centrally located in St. Pete, and easy to get to. It has good parking available. The equipment is new and quite varied, so the trainer has a lot to work with and can help most anyone reap the benefits of regular Pilates sessions. Chris, the owner-trainer, is well-versed in things Pilates, and can steer you to get the most out of your sessions, no matter which trainer you work with. I can not recommend PP&RC highly enough.

I’d give 4.5 stars if I could. The staff is amazing, the workouts are great, and I love the equipment. The only reason for they are not a 5 star,
Is because the price. While they are worth every penny, for those on a tighter budget, it’s a little too much

My wife introduced me to Chris and Michelle 2 1/2 years ago after getting rehab help post-knee replacement.

Chris and her staff are amazing! Guiding us through rehab and creating more strength. Their knowledge, experience and ability to tailor the workout to various body challenges (bad hips, knees, scoliosis, etc.) is top notch. I credit Chris for helping me develop muscular balance, symmetry and strength so I can continue to do the athletic things I love without pain.

Chris makes exercising fun and challenging at the same time. We share a lot of laughs during our classes so time passes by quickly. She is an exceptional Pilates instructor who practices what she preaches, communicates clearly, pays attention to detail and offers individual attention in group settings. No two workouts are the same and modifications are offered to those in need. Her classes include full body fitness and I feel as though we stretch every muscle, calm our minds with deep breathing and focus on the precision of each movement while promoting core strength, relaxed neck and shoulders (still a work in progress!), improved circulation and muscle tone. Based on my experience, Pilates is more low impact than Cross Fit, Kickboxing and other forms of exercise I’ve done, yet still highly effective. Chris will keep you motivated and coming back for more! I’ve met some wonderful people, have heard rave reviews about other instructors at the studio and would highly recommend Pilates Powerhouse.

I have been going to Camille at Pilates Powerhouse for many years. Her knowledge of the body's musculature is phenomenal. I am able to function pain and medication free due to my twice a week private sessions with her!

Best pilates instruction I've ever had. I took pilates for years in Minneapolis and thought I knew what I was doing. But working with Camille and the staff at Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab Center in St. Pete, has advanced my knowledge and results by leaps and bounds. They pay close attention to individual anatomy and teach you to work with your body. The studio is both serene and state-of-the art. It has truly become my "happy place."

I've been a Pilates fan for years, and when our business moved from Tampa to St. Petersburg, the first place I went to continue my training was to Pilates Powerhouse. What an amazing facility! They have all of the equipment and experienced trainers to work from Beginner to Advanced levels and even specialize in post rehab. The owner, Chris, is amazing - and has taken my training to an entire new level of experience! All of the trainers there are professional and kind, continually working to challenge me all while ensuring that I train safely under the STOTT Pilates method of training. This studio is my haven, and I highly recommend it to ANYONE who has done Pilates or just considered trying it, you need to check out Pilates Powerhouse! It's an experience you will not regret!
