ABOUT SOUTH SLOPE PILATES AND ALL THINGS WELLNESS
About The Studio
South Slope Pilates and All Things Wellness was founded by sisters, Sydney Rubens and Andie Meder. The 4,500-plus square foot studio, located in the South Slope on McCormick Avenue, is physically and conveniently divided into two large areas: half being the exercise studio and the other half serving as a wellness collective with a variety of service providers.
While the entire space may be divided, the goal is unified: SSP is a welcoming place where people can come together, get a great sweat in, and experience a delightful wellness treatment.
The vision for South Slope Pilates and All Things Wellness originated as Andie and Sydney’s family began contemplating a move to Asheville from Miami. They knew they wanted to start a fitness studio. So, when they found 50 McCormick Place, a beautiful space previously called Clasique Acupuncture and Pilates, the idea of curating a space that combined community, wellness, and a great sweat evolved organically. Today, there’s an awesome and growing team at South Slope Pilates. And each day, the team is filled with inspiration about the new ideas and ways we can build community in our space.
SSP’s Group Training Series
A “reformed” take on pilates.
Our group fitness programming isn’t capital-P “Pilates” and it’s not downloaded directly from Lagree Fitness headquarters either. It’s a unique blend of the two mixed with some other best practices from functional exercise. We’ve built our training philosophies to deliver the best possible workouts that will complement your current fitness choices or provide a complete programming approach to improving your physical fitness.
In the fitness space, it’s common to see hard lines drawn in the sand. We prefer to be the waves at the shoreline that wash away those lines. “We don’t do X, we do Y!” creates out-groups, closes doors, and shuts people down. It is not something you’ll hear us say at SSP.
So, what do we say? We say: We provide a modern take on pilates that utilizes Lagree Fitness machines to build a mind-muscle connection. Our classes deliver muscle-burning and sweat-inducing workouts, for participants of all skill and fitness levels. We’d love for you to try us out and see for yourself!
