Peaches Pilates, a locally owned Pilates studio, is now open in Stafford, owner Sammie Sappington said.

The details

The business offers one-on-one and semiprivate Pilates classes, with a maximum of three people in a class, Sappington said.

The small classes allow her and her students to focus on form to get the best results, she said.

The business’s space is also available for rent for wellness events, such as yoga or art therapy, Sappington said.


The background

Sappington said she’s taught Pilates for years and is a master instructor. After years of building clientele, she said it was time for her to open her own space.

“I saw a way that I could provide better service than what I see is out there,” she said. “There’s a lot of Pilates studios opening that ... have very large classes, but really what happens with that is it becomes more like group fitness ... versus classical Pilates.”
