Why Foundations?

Built on Real Experience
Our owner has taught Pilates for over a decade as an Indiana Board Certified PTA, and every instructor on our team brings their own years of experience and accredited certifications. You’re never getting a brand-new trainer running through a script.
Results-Focused, Goal-Oriented Workouts
Every session at Foundations is built around what you’re working toward, whether that’s pain-free movement, more strength, better mobility, or returning to a sport. We don’t run generic classes. We program with intent.
Individual + Small Group Classes
Choose how you train. Our small group classes run 4 to 10 participants for hands-on instruction without the crowd, and we also offer 1-on-1 private sessions plus duo, trio, and small group appointments when you want more focused attention.
Whole-Body Wellness, Not Just a Workout
Pilates is the heart of what we do, but it’s not the only thing. You can also book yoga, barre, mat Pilates, sound bath, fascial stretch, and myofascial release here.

Thomas’s Yin class was amazing! This was my first time at Foundations and I had a great experience. I can’t wait to book another class. Thomas was truly so welcoming. I look forward to incorporating more yin yoga into my routine.

Foundations Studio has been such a great experience. The instructors do an amazing job tailoring each session to your individual skill level while still keeping every workout fresh and engaging. No two sessions feel exactly the same, which makes it easy to stay motivated and consistent. The environment is welcoming, encouraging, and makes showing up feel easy.

I am 75 years old and have been taking Quad Reformer Pilates classes at the Foundations Studio twice a week for about six years. The instructors I have had all are skilled and well trained to teach. They are dedicated to the safety of each client in class. They carefully monitor that proper form is achieved and they can demonstrate modifications where necessary. I highly recommend checking out Foundations Studio, not only for Pilates, but for all the wellness classes and activities they have to offer.

I followed Kelly to Foundations Studio when she opened in 2020. I enjoy Pilates! I feel stronger, more flexible and energized after each class. Another plus … I get to enjoy a variety of workouts offered by Kelly and the other instructors!

Pilates classes with owner/instructor Kelly O'Brien at Foundations Studio have been pivotal in regaining and maintaining core strength and joint health. I am soon to be 75 y/o and am fully aware that working with Kelly has been instrumental in my ability to be very active in my daily living.

About Foundations Studio

Foundations Studio is a locally owned, instructor-operated Pilates, yoga, and wellness studio on the north side of Indianapolis, open since October 2020. Our owner is an Indiana Board Certified Physical Therapy Assistant with certifications in Balanced Body Pilates, Peak Pilates, TRX, Fascial Stretch Therapy, Titleist Performance Institute, and ACSM Personal Training. Every instructor on our team holds accredited certifications, and our group classes are kept small for real personal attention. We built this studio for people who want personal instruction and real results, not another packed-room workout.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a class cost?
Pricing varies by class type and package. We offer intro packages, single classes, and class packs (no memberships). Call us at 317-475-0993 and we’ll walk you through the options that fit your schedule and budget.
Start with our Intro to Pilates Reformer class or a private session. Both are designed for total beginners and are required before joining a group class unless you have previous experience on the reformer. You’ll learn the equipment, the basic movements, and what to expect before joining a regular group class.
Just yourself and comfortable clothes you can move in. We provide water in the studio. Grip socks aren’t required, but you’re welcome to wear them. If you’d prefer your own mat for mat-based classes, feel free to bring it. Otherwise, we have you covered.
Yes, and many of our clients come to us for exactly that reason. Our instructors are trained to work around injuries and build strength safely, and we usually recommend starting with a private session so we can program the right approach for your body.
Our reformer classes cap at 4 participants. All mat-based classes (Mat Pilates, Barre, Yoga) cap at 10. Private, duo, trio, and small group appointments are also available.
We’re in Northview Mall, across from North Central High School, near 86th & Westfield. Look for us in the northwest corner of the courtyard. Our schedule runs early morning through evening with classes available outside standard hours. Check our online schedule or call 317-475-0993 for the current week.
