Bodytique Pilates Opens September 19: What to Know About South Miami's Newest Studio

Mark your calendar: Bodytique Pilates opens September 19, 2026 in South Miami. Here's what to know before doors open.

Who's behind it

Bodytique was founded by Stephanie Escalona, a Miami native and Wake Forest University graduate who brings both the discipline of her academic background and the warmth of her Miami roots into the studio. In her own words, Pilates studios became her reset button long before she ever taught a class herself, and that love for movement eventually led her to start teaching, sharing what had once grounded her with other people.

South Miami isn't just a business decision for her either. It's where she grew up, and bringing the very first Bodytique home to that community is what she calls a full-circle moment.

What they're actually offering

Bodytique is a mat Pilates and sculpt studio built around choice, both infrared heated and non-heated classes, so you're not locked into one temperature depending on which studio happens to be nearby. Their format lineup breaks down into three classes: a foundational Pilates class rooted in Joseph Pilates' original principles (breath, control, precision, flow), a Sculpt Strength class that blends Pilates control with strength training, and a Sculpt Cardio class for anyone who wants to elevate their heart rate without losing that same controlled, intentional movement.

Opening day: September 19, 2026

Doors officially open September 19, 2026, at 7400 SW 59th Pl, Suite 101, in South Miami, with opening weekend promotions for anyone who wants to be there from day one. It's a genuinely new addition to a part of the city that hasn't had a ton of dedicated Pilates options until recently.

Worth a follow before opening day

Any time a new studio opens with this much intention behind it, especially one built by someone who grew up in the neighborhood it's opening in, it's worth keeping on your radar ahead of time.
