FitLab Pilates

FitLAB Pilates is a fully equipped Pilates and fitness studio in Inman Square, Cambridge, specializing in small group classes capped at six students along with personal training. Instructors focus on strengthening the core and the whole body, improving posture and helping clients move with more ease and less pain. Programming adapts in both directions: it can challenge athletes such as dancers and football players, and it can be modified for people with significant mobility issues.

The studio brings science-based methodology to its classes, applying current knowledge from biomechanics and spinal rehab to the foundation laid by Joseph and Clara Pilates in the early 20th century. FitLAB was founded in 2009 by STOTT Pilates certified instructor Sarah Carr and her client Dr. Pai-Ling Yin. Longtime client Diane Roseman bought it in 2017, and in 2022 it passed to instructor Kate Johnson, an eight-year staff member, and her husband Chris.
