💛 Discover the Journey of Pilates Sol — 15 Years Strong in Downtown Pittsburgh
Founded in 2010 by Marcie Callan and Kristen Londono, Pilates Sol has proudly served as downtown Pittsburgh’s first and only free-standing private Pilates studio. Now led by former client-turned-owner Kim Stokes, our studio has been a quiet but powerful force for over 15 years — helping hundreds of clients build strength, mobility, and confidence through personalized, one-on-one Pilates.

We’re more than a studio. We’re a reset.
💛 Meet Kim Stokes
Owner | Certified Pilates Instructor | Life Coach | Travel & Wellness Expert
Kim Stokes is the heart and soul behind Pilates Sol, Pittsburgh’s premier private Pilates studio. Her journey started right here in 2010 — not as an instructor, but as a client looking to increase flexibility and tone. Spoiler: It worked. But what really happened was bigger — Kim fell in love with the method, the mindset, and the power of mindful movement.
​
Now a certified comprehensive Pilates instructor, Kim brings over a decade of experience helping people reconnect with their strength, resilience, and self-trust. She’s also a certified yoga teacher, meditation guide, intuitive life coach, and wellness travel advisor — a rare blend of bodywork, mindset, and soulful strategy
.
Kim specializes in private, one-on-one sessions that are as personalized as they are powerful. Her sessions are known for being real, relaxed, and deeply effective. Whether you’re navigating injury recovery, stress, aging, or just life in general — Kim meets you where you are, reads what your body needs, and builds a plan that feels good and works.
​
Clients often describe her as intuitive, hilarious, supportive, and no-BS. Her background in senior care and healthcare management gives her a deep understanding of physical and emotional stress, while her coaching skills help clients grow far beyond the mat.
​
Kim’s ultimate goal? To help people feel better in their bodies — and their lives — through movement, mindset, and meaningful experiences. From the studio to the airport, she helps clients reset and return to themselves, one breath at a time.
