From Front‑Desk Job to Mind‑Body Pivot

From Front‑Desk Job to Mind‑Body Pivot

When Kylie Cipolla first stepped behind the front desk of a Pilates studio in New York, she thought she’d just landed a job with a nice perk, free classes. What she found instead was a practice that changed how she felt in her body and in her mind. “It was the first time I wasn’t just working out,” she says in her VoyageLA interview. “My thoughts slowed down. I left feeling like I’d had a therapy session.”

Now teaching in Los Angeles, Kylie brings that same mindful energy to every class, blending precision with presence, and technique with compassion. Her journey from curious beginner to instructor is a reminder that Pilates isn’t just about form; it’s about connection. At Good Body Pilates, that philosophy runs deep: smaller classes, real attention, and an environment that feels as grounding as it is challenging.

Why Booking Direct Matters: A Personal Story from Good Body Pilates

Why Booking Direct Matters: A Personal Story from Good Body Pilates

At Good Body Pilates, we love seeing new faces in our classes, but not all booking platforms treat boutique studios fairly. While we use Wellhub, which pays our standard class rate, many third-party apps pay far less leaving small studios struggling to cover costs and fairly compensate instructors.

This September, during Boutique Fitness Loyalty Month, we’re joining studios across LA to encourage direct bookings. Every class you book directly helps support your favorite instructors, keeps our studio thriving, and strengthens our local wellness community.
