Strong Core. Strong Mind. Strong You.

At Studio Grace, we believe movement is more than exercise—it’s a pathway to strength, balance, and joy. Founded by Lesley Player and Courtney Gill, our studio was created with a simple vision: to provide a welcoming space where people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels can discover the transformative power of Pilates and barre.

Our team is fully trained in the STOTT Pilates method and equipped with Reformers, Cadillac, Stability Chairs, Barrels, Springwall, and CoreAlign giving clients the opportunity to experience Pilates in its truest form. Whether you’re stepping into your very first class or are a seasoned mover, we meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.

What sets Studio Grace apart is our commitment to community and connection. We aren’t just a fitness studio—we’re a family. Here, every small victory is celebrated, every challenge is supported, and every person is valued. We believe grace is not about perfection, but about showing up for yourself and embracing growth along the way.

From private one-on-one sessions to small group classes and energizing barre workouts, Studio Grace offers a variety of options to fit your lifestyle and goals. Our mission is simple: to inspire strength, restore balance, and encourage a deeper appreciation for the body you live in.

Welcome to Studio Grace—your space for movement, strength, and community.

  • Lesley Player changed my life by changing my posture. Let me back up. Having developed young, I adopted a hunched-over posture out of self-consciousness that worsened with decades of desk work. I had been a runner and started Pilates because I wanted to be gentler to my body. After practicing with Lesley for a while, I saw a photograph on Facebook and jealously thought, “Who is that woman with the strong, lean arms and perfect posture?” It was me! Lesley completely transformed the way I carry myself, and consequently, the way I feel about myself. Over the years that we’ve worked together, Lesley has adjusted my practice to accommodate periodic challenges (recurring illnesses including a movement disorder) and major physical goals (hiking part of the Appalachian Trail). She always knows what my body needs and plays an indispensable part in my overall wellness. She is equally adept at working with super-fit athletes and those with limitations/special needs. Lesley is a first-rate, patient, encouraging, motivating Pilates instructor and also a kind, caring human being.

  • I can’t recommend Studio Grace enough! Not only are Courtney and Leslie knowledgeable but they are caring. I had to have a total hip replacement and both women worked with me to make sure my recovery would hopefully be easy. Courtney is my instructor and Leslie, having had a surgery somewhat similar, gave us great tips to help strengthen the muscles I would be using the most. My surgery was August 27th. I was back at Pilates today. I’m not back to full strength and we did a little modification of the exercises, but I know if not for Courtney and Leslie I would be much much farther behind.
