Congratulations to Power A Pilates Studio for being chosen as the Chatham Area Chamber of Commerce’s Member of the Month for July!


Carrie Schreyer is the owner and founder of Power, A Pilates Studio, which specializes in Reformer Pilates (Pilates that is performed on a reformer machine rather than a mat). Carrie began in the health and wellness field in California back in the 80s. She has for years been a certified massage therapist and, with her extensive knowledge of anatomy, she aided her clients in relieving pain and moving better. And, as a former dancer, she found Pilates to be fun and felt the benefits immediately. Fueled to share her passion, she opened her Power, A Pilates Studio, in January 2023. She has helped her clients with this dynamic core training to move better and lead a more active life.


The studio is located at 329 Williams Lane in Chatham, and offers private, semi-private, and group classes.


Interested individuals can sign up through the Mindbody App, or by calling 217-341-1991.


The Chatham Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to recognize Power A Pilates Studio as our Member of the Month for July.
