Chloe’s Story 🤍

Chloe was struggling with her body image and confidence. She said she used to doubt herself — until she started showing up consistently.

“Once I stayed consistent, I could see positive results… and the blessings that came with them.”

What I love most about her story is how simple but powerful it is.
She didn’t change overnight — she changed because she kept going.

Sometimes we overthink it. But the truth is, confidence grows every time you show up for yourself — even when it’s hard.

Charlie’s Story 🤍

Our Sweaty Queen, Charlie, said something that touched my heart:

“It’s always been very hard for me to work out, but for the first time, it actually feels enjoyable.”

That’s exactly what Sweaty Studio is all about.

She shared that she’s feeling stronger, her health has improved, and — maybe most powerfully — she’s found confidence for the first time in her life.

This story is such a beautiful reminder that movement can do so much more than change your body — it can change how you see yourself.

It’s never too late to feel strong, proud, and at home in your body again.

Can Pilates help with weight loss??

Pilates can def help for weight loss. It's also super important to clarify the difference of weight loss and fat loss. When we begin to train new muscles or start working out for the first time in a while, our muscles can grow which is great!

Muscle weighs more than fat. So if the goal is to lose "weight" for a sport/weigh out of sorts, then cardio only would be the best program. But if your goal is to lose "fat", then combining pilates with cardio is a great way to do that. 

A couple pointers, is there is no need to be restrictive in eating or feel guilty for not moving ur body in a day! To lose fat and gain muscle, which helps to get that "toned" look, it's super important to consume as much protein as your ideal bodyweight daily (this is a rough estimate to help u get enough protein to support muscular development).

Calorie deficits paired with a high protein diet help to support muscle growth and fat loss simulatenously. A calorie deficit occurs when calories OUT (exercise) exceeds calories IN (eating/drinking). Now, if ur feeling restrictive or hard on urself, it's important to know that the calorie deficit can be 200 calories, it does NOT mean you have to skip meals, torture yourself, or overexercise to reach a 1,500 calorie deficit... 

With that being said, most people over-estimate calories out and under-estimate calories in. It's important to approach this intuitively and not get obsessive. Weighing yourself daily is NOT going to tell you the full story. Like i mentioned above, you can workout, lose fat, and weigh more (since ur new muscle outweighs the fat weight lost).

If you're still hungry even after you thought you met your general food needs, try to increase your protein intake (that helps curb appetite/constant carb cravings). 

P.S. YOU ARE IN THIS FOR THE LONG GAME. We are talking WEEKS + MONTHS ladies, not DAYS. This is a MARATHON, NOT a sprint. I've wrecked my bod before trying to lose fat fast. In addition to the physical pain of doing so, my self-talk and mindset were not healthy or kind to myself. It's so so so important to be KIND to yourself on this journey. You are beautiful already!!! Let me know below if u have any more questions!!

Caroline’s Story 🤍

Caroline has been working out with Sweaty Studio for 4 years — and her transformation goes far beyond the physical.

For a long time, she used to get down on herself if she skipped a workout or didn’t hit the same numbers as the day before. But something changed when she started Sweaty Studio.

Through the workouts, she learned how to listen to her body — to work with it, not against it.

“Callie talks a lot about being kind to yourself and doing what’s good for your body that day. That shift changed everything for me.”

Caroline’s story is such a powerful reminder that strength isn’t just about muscles — it’s about mindset. Showing up for yourself looks different every day, and that’s okay.

She said it best:

“Sweaty Studio has been my tried and true for years, and it’s often the best part of my day.”

Caitlin’s Story 🤍

After her C-section, Caitlin felt weak, frustrated, and unsure how to rebuild her strength safely. She joined Sweaty Studio looking for structure and guidance — something that would help her feel like herself again.

She shared that while physical results took time, the changes she felt came quickly.

“I stopped feeling so much pain from postpartum and started feeling stronger — even before I could see the results. Now, 10 months later, I feel stronger than I did before I had a baby.”

Caitlin’s story is a reminder that healing takes time — and that strength often shows up long before the mirror catches up.

Bethany’s Story 🤍

Before joining Sweaty Studio, Bethany tried YouTube workouts and even joined a gym — but it never stuck. She felt embarrassed, unsure how to use the equipment, and trapped in a cycle of guilt and shame around taking care of her body.

Everything changed when she found Sweaty Studio.

Bethany shared that for the first time, working out didn’t feel like punishment — it felt like me time.

“Callie was so encouraging. I loved her affirmations and the way she led each workout. It really taught me to enjoy movement that I actually love, not just force myself to do something because I feel like I should.”

Through consistency and encouragement, she started to feel stronger, more confident, and more connected to her body — inside and out.

Bethany’s story is a reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t about perfection or pressure — it’s about finding joy in showing up for you.

Bailey’s Story 🤍

Before finding Sweaty Studio, Bailey tried running and the gym — but neither felt right. Between caring for her family and balancing life after college, she struggled to find a workout routine that felt sustainable or uplifting.

When she discovered Pilates, she hoped it would be different — but on other platforms, she found herself comparing her body to influencers and feeling more discouraged than inspired.

Then she found Sweaty Studio.

Bailey shared that it finally felt real.

“Sweaty Studio is a breath of fresh air. Callie and McKaleigh are awesome and real. I love working out with them — it feels like I’m working out with my best friends.”

Within two weeks, she noticed her legs getting stronger and her energy improving — but what mattered most was how much better she felt. The confidence, joy, and community shifted everything.

Bailey’s story is a reminder that movement isn’t about perfection — it’s about finding a space that makes you feel strong, supported, and at home in your body.

And if you’ve found that same joy in your Sweaty Studio journey, I’d love to hear it in the comments. 🤍

Ashley’s Story 🤍

Before joining Sweaty Studio, Ashley struggled with confidence and finding a workout that truly felt good. She tried running and other forms of exercise, but nothing ever stuck — it all just felt like suffering.

When her sister introduced her to Sweaty Studio, everything changed. For the first time, movement became something she enjoyed. She started noticing her strength, flexibility, and confidence grow — both on and off the mat.

Her words that stuck with me most:
“You can’t hate yourself into a body that you love. Doing exercise that I love has helped me have a body that I do love.”

Ashley’s story is such a reminder that movement doesn’t have to feel like punishment. When you find something you actually enjoy, it stops being about changing your body — and starts being about celebrating it.

And if you’ve had your own moment of rediscovering joy in movement, I’d love to hear it in the comments. 🤍

Leah’s Story 🤍

Rolling out her mat each day became a lifeline. Movement gave her a way to heal, to reconnect with her body, and to find that little bit of light again.

Her words that stuck with me most:

“It helped me love myself through the journey. It really just became a source of sunshine for me.”

Leah’s story is such a powerful reminder that taking care of your body isn’t about chasing what it used to be — it’s about honoring what it’s carried you through.

Hailey’s story is such a powerful reminder that taking care of yourself doesn’t have to mean hours in the gym — it’s about showing up, moving with gratitude, and remembering what your body can do.
