Dive Deeper
Pilates studios have long-been exclusive spaces full of ballerinas and ladies of leisure. The experience of walking in to a studio where the front desk girl sizes you up with disdain and the teacher doesn't feel comfortable working with all bodies is enough to make us want to pack up our grip socks and run. So we said ENOUGH of the judgey side-eye, obsession with thinness and competitive culture and opened our own place where all bodies and walks of life are welcome.
We really care about our students, and we want you to get strong, feel amazing, and work out safely. We want you to feel supported while you build strength, flexibility, mobility and confidence in your body.
The Vibes Are Vibing at Our Studios

Wild Lemon has become one of my favorite places in Pensacola. The staff go above and beyond for all of their students and make this a place that keeps you coming back. I had never tried a true Pilates class before coming here almost 2 years ago and now I can never go back. Don't miss out on the best spaces to workout in Pensacola!

The Best Part of My Day

I’ve tried a few different classes at Wild Lemon and they’ve all been enjoyable. Reformer classes with Brandi R. have been my new favorite thing to look forward too each week. Their private session to get you comfortable is also a blessing! Highly recommend. Super friendly and inclusive staff and workouts for everyone.
Super Friendly & Inclusive

Inclusive! Fun! Motivating! I was very anxious to start any kind of group class, especially a type of movement I had never done, and I was able to ease in so comfortably here! Every instructor has been welcoming and kind. I am still working through their list of different types of classes and love the variety offered.
Inclusive! Fun! Motivating!

If you want to change up your workout routine, or challenge yourself, this is such a fun and encouraging environment to be that you don't feel intimidated going into it. Go in with an open mind, and you'll leave feeling proud for pushing yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone.
You'll Leave Feeling Proud

I have been going to classes for about 2 months now, and I can say that Pilates is changing my life in every aspect. I started going because it felt like the best workout for me, someone lacking motivation but wanting to feel healthier and build strength and confidence. Over the weeks, I am feeling more confident with my body.
Pilates is Changing My Life

Every instructor I’ve had brings something different to every class. Even on a rough day, the instructors are always encouraging and remind me to listen to my body. I would recommend Wild Lemon to anyone looking for a different studio or to start out new. I look forward to class anytime I book and leave feeling better!
I Leave Feeling Better

I've never really been a gym person, but the vibes at Wild Lemon are unlike any gym I've ever been to. It's a radically welcoming environment from the moment you walk in the door. It's so fun and challenging in all the right ways. Kylie is an amazing and caring instructor, offering a ton of 1:1 coaching and modifications where needed.
Unlike Any Gym I've Ever Been To

The Wild Lemon Studios
two spaces; endless variety
After a lifetime of struggling with body dysmorphia and eating disorders, I discovered group fitness in my early 30’s, which led to opening Wild Lemon in 2017. Attending classes helped heal my relationship with my body, and I love how practicing Pilates is as much of a mental challenge as a physical one.
My passion for my practice led me to pursue my instructor certification in 2019. I'm a manifester and forever a student — I seek out education to better serve my students, apprentices, and teachers at the studios.
In addition to group classes, I offer private Pilates sessions and love working with rehab clients, pre-and-postnatal clients, and anybody wanting to learn to appreciate how incredible their body is. I'm an anatomy geek, obsessed with building community, and love sharing my philosophy of mindful movement with others.
Welcome to my Pilates playground, Wild Lemon.
Hey, friends. I'm
chief movement officer (aka "the nice one")
The quality of our teachers and their complete adherence to our policies, values, and beliefs is of the utmost importance to me. You can be sure that any movement coach who teaches at Wild Lemon has been personally and thoroughly vetted by me to not only have a comprehensive knowledge of Pilates, fitness, and movement but to also uphold our core values in every class, with every student — always.
We take what we do extremely seriously but ourselves — not so much. We know how to have a good time, curate a kickass playlist, and cheer you on when you master a movement you've been working on for a while.
I want every Lemon to know that, regardless of who's teaching the class, they are going to feel safe, supported, and challenged every time they come to the studios.

SJ is warm, welcoming and loves teaching Pilates but don’t let that sweet smile fool you - she’ll have those muscles shaking in no time! She wants her students to feel energized, strong, and empowered both as they're moving through her classes and after they leave as they move through their day-to-day.
