Our Story
Center City Studio classes feature a mix of yoga, Pilates, and other assorted gentle movements. Classes focus on strength, stability, posture, proper breath control, and flexibility.
Located on the Ashman Circle, Center City Studio shares its main studio space with Jazzercise Midland. Center City Studio classes nicely complement our Jazzercise classes and members may participate in one, or both programs. Our newest location, the Center City Studio Annex is located just behind our main studio, at 2901 Ross Court. The small Annex space features a range of offerings – including Pilates Reformer, Pilates Mat, and Pilates Springboard. By appointment only - private, semi-private, and small group training classes are individualized - and designed to help you achieve your fitness goals.
Our goal is to keep you moving - one way or another! If you're ready to experience a more flexible body, call for an appointment - or come try one of our group classes today (First class is FREE)! We believe that incorporating gentle movement into your regular routine will improve your flexibility, strength, mobility, and balance – and ultimately improve your quality of life.​
