Pilates is for EVERYBODY!
Have you wanted to try Pilates but mainstream fitness makes it look so hard?
Do you feel like you get lost in the crowd at your Pilates studio?
Do you LOVE classical Pilates but struggle to find a teacher that truly watches and listens?
Do you want a way to exercise that will last the rest of your life?
Live Life Moving is a private Pilates studio in St. Petersburg, Florida, offering exclusive one-on-one and small-group Pilates sessions for adults who want to improve posture, build core strength, and move with greater ease and confidence.
Our certified instructors specialize in authentic Pilates—taught the way it was originally designed: focused, personalized, and centered on smart, sustainable movement. We work with clients of all levels, especially those 40+ looking for low-impact, effective exercise that supports long-term health, mobility, and quality of life.
Whether you're brand new to Pilates or returning after time off, our sessions are tailored to your body, your goals, and your schedule. With limited availability and an emphasis on personal attention, Live Life Moving offers a calm, non-intimidating alternative to crowded fitness studios. This is Pilates that meets you where you are—not where social media says you should be.

Step 3
"I can travel and hike with my family again!"
"Live Life Moving has been a God send to me. Having completed physical therapy after knee replacement surgery, I didn't know what to do to keep moving. I also struggle with an age related loss of balance. Aaron really listened to me when I told him of my concerns and developed a program that works great for me."
- Debbie B.
"I learned how to exercise the right way for ME."
"I have trained with Aaron and Kurt for several years, and they are both amazing trainers. I have learned new things and my training has improved my overall well being. I highly recommend them both as trainers (and as people!)."
- Andrew N.
My balance has improved!
"Just returned from walking the length of the boardwalk and back, ALMOST slipped a dozen times….
Thanks to your balance training, I made a full recovery each time. Zero falls…The only time I was on the ground is when I made my snow angel!"
- Lorraine P.
-
Do I need to be “in-shape” to workout with you?No! We specialize in (and LOVE) helping people find the right movements for their body and experience. We help you keep at a pace that will keep you feeling successful rather than defeated or "having to keep up". We find the right balance of confidence and challenge to keep each person engaged in their progress!
-
Will your program be too easy? I love to workout, I just can't workout the same as I did when I was younger.Our programs are designed to help you achieve the strength and power you've loved in the past, but using a method that adapts with your every changing body and lifestyle. No two clients need the same exact thing to help them stay strong...and we focus on providing a solution for everyone's personalized goals.
-
I’m new or returning to exercise. Are your small group sessions good for me?Yes! However we recommend you start with our Introductory Private Package. We have found better success when clients who are new get some one on one attention so the coaches know how best to help them in a group session. These private sessions help us get to know your goals and any injuries or preferences so we can be sure we can progress you in a pace that's right for you. Also, many of our classes are small in size so they ensure we can coach you individually.
-
I'm recovering from an injury or medical condition. Are you the same as Physical Therapy?While Pilates offers plenty of ways to restore healthy movement back to your body, you will need to be cleared by your physical therapist and/or doctor to participate in general exercise before starting with us. Once cleared, you will begin with 1-on-1 Private sessions. If you wish to do group training, you will need to be cleared by your trainer to move into a group. This helps us be sure you are getting the exact exercises you need to get stronger and reduce risk of re-injury.
-
Why are your rates higher than other gyms or studios?We understand our rates may be higher than those of a gym or big studio. However, we offer a personalized experience by limiting class sizes, which allows us to provide immediate feedback and ensure you feel successful. Our master teacher-level training in various fitness aspects enables us to create programs that cater to conditions that develop as we age or recover from injuries. With both technical and life experience, we understand the values and priorities of adults over 50. Our approach ensures you are never left in the dark or lost in the crowd, preventing frustration and helping you maintain your fitness program. Each client is heard, seen, and nurtured.
-
I really like the Live Life Moving philosophy! Do I need to be over 50 years old to train at Live Life Moving?Absolutely not! We've created a low-key, low-pressure environment with programming that feels good and will help your body last a long time. Our studio is perfect for ANYONE seeking a less intense approach to fitness than big gyms or trendy studios.
