Owner: Elizabeth Bridwell

Types of classes offered: Barre, Pilates mat, reformer, and pre- and post-natal classes

What makes it unique and why you should try it: Instructors are trained by Balanced Body University (a premier comprehensive training program in the US) and Fusion Pilates (a world-renowned pregnancy Pilates training program), and Breathe uses brand new top-notch equipment by Balanced Body University.

Classes are offered up to six times a day and range from early morning to 6:30 PM, with low prices to make Pilates accessible for everyone!  Shower facilities are available for anyone wanting to freshen up before work / during a lunch-time workout.

Breathe also has a full spa featuring massage (including fertility, pre/post-natal massage), body scrubs, slimming wraps, facials, waxing, microdermabrasion, manicures and pedicures, and they offer childcare for all studio and spa visits.

Advice for newbies: Try their FREE Intro Pilates Reformer class (offered the first Saturday of each month) to familiarize yourself with the equipment or opt for a private session to learn the basics to get the most out of a group class.

Favorite things to do in Charleston: FIG Restaurant downtown is a must!  Also, Puree is a great new restaurant featuring all hand-made organic, vegetarian fare for the whole family!  And the county parks are unlike any county parks you have ever seen.
