About Us

We’re here to help you grow!

Hey everybody!  We’re Emily and Kris, co-founders of Tribe Pilates.  We want to first say thanks for stopping by and checking us out today!

When we started Tribe Pilates in 2018 we had one goal in mind – to help our community achieve their fitness goals!  Our mission was to create challenging reformer based Pilates classes to not only develop strong, flexible and balanced bodies, but to also encourage and motivate through a sense of community.  Your Tribe!

A little about us

Emily – Tribe Pilates Co-Founder and Lead Instructor

Emily is a long time Pilates enthusiast and practitioner that turned her passion into a career as an instructor. 

After certification she has been instructing Pilates at various studios in the Santa Monica area for several years, which included the years she met and introduced her co-founder Kris to the practice. 

Emily has always had a dream of opening her own studio that instilled the core teaching values of Pilates combined with continued personal growth through a fitness community. Kris, spending his career in business marketing, took his new found love of Pilates to partner with Emily to help make Tribe Pilates a reality.

Emily is our lead instructor that designed tiered classes that exercise the total body as well as more specialized classes focusing on key muscle groups.  Emily is joined by a team of seasoned Pilates instructors, each offering their own unique style to create challenging classes each and every day helping you to grow in your practice.

On any given day you may also be welcomed by the friendliest and furriest greeters our studio has to offer!  Don’t be shy to say hi to Bear and Teddi, our Mini Poodles

Kris – Tribe Pilates Co-Founder

We are so excited to be a part of the Santa Monica and Studio City neighborhoods and welcome you to join us for group classes or private sessions. Tone and Transform your body and life with your Tribe!  See you in the studio soon!
