We built Luxe to change how people feel in their bodies.
Partnering with SPRING is how we help shape who teaches next.
At Luxe Pilates, we’ve spent years creating a studio where everyone belongs — where movement is accessible, instruction is intentional, and community is real. Partnering with SPRING brings a globally respected, science-backed Teacher Training program into that environment, combining SPRING’s education model with real-world studio experience at Luxe.
Co-founded by physiotherapist Talia Williams, and East River Pilates' founder, Kimmy Kellum, SPRING was created to make Pilates education more accessible, inclusive, and grounded in real-world practice.
We believe the next generation of Pilates instructors deserves more than a weekend certification. They deserve science-backed education, hands-on mentorship, and a real studio environment to learn in. That is exactly what this training is designed to provide, experienced within the real studio environment at Luxe.
If you’ve ever thought about turning your love of Pilates into a career, we’d be honored to be the studio where that begins.
