Pilates in Highland Park, Dallas
Reformer Pilates, treadmill cardio, and strength training minutes from Highland Park Village. Dallas’s original group Pilates studio since 2011.
The Highland Park Pilates studio locals actually go to
Highland Park has options for a workout, but very few that combine traditional Pilates with real strength training in a small-class setting. The PilatesBarre has been that studio in Dallas since 2011 — the first group Pilates fitness studio in the city, still ours, still coached the same way.
Our nearest location for Highland Park residents is our University Park studio on Hillcrest Avenue — a five-minute drive from Highland Park Village, Preston Center, or the SMU campus. Free parking. Small classes. Real coaching.
What we teach
Three 50-minute class formats, all designed to build strength and stamina in a way that translates outside the studio — whether that’s tennis at Dallas Country Club, chasing kids at Highland Park Village, or a Saturday morning at Katy Trail.
Balance + Burn
BarreFormer Pilates
A Pilates-inspired workout on our custom-built BarreFormers. Wrist weights, ankle weights, Bala weighted bars, Bala rings. Deep core, real strength, no impact.

Getting to our studio from Highland Park
Our University Park studio sits on Hillcrest Avenue between Lovers Lane and Mockingbird — easy from Preston Road, easy from the Tollway, easy from anywhere in the 75205 zip.
~5 min from Highland Park Village · ~4 min from Preston Center · ~3 min from SMU
We also have a second Dallas location at Devonshire (5425 W Lovers Ln) — a good option if you’re commuting west or live closer to Preston Hollow.
Why Highland Park picks The PilatesBarre
We’ve been the Dallas studio people quietly recommend for 15 years. Not the loudest studio in the city. Not the trendiest. The one clients stay at.
That comes from three things: coaching that treats every client by name, class caps that keep instructors accountable, and a training system built on traditional Pilates principles with strength training built in — not chased through gimmicks or high heat.
