Barrington Pilates, Inc. opened in October of 2008.  We are committed to bringing you the highest quality of Pilates instruction, with fabulous and knowledgeable certified instructors. We want your time at the studio to be nothing but perfection; from the calming and serene environment when you walk in, to the complimentary, detoxifying green tea when you leave, no detail has been left unturned. We believe that the mind-to-body connection is so important in Pilates, therefore we have created a peaceful environment for you to breathe, relax, and focus on YOU (while getting a great workout of course!) Enjoy your time at the studio, we enjoy having you here…
