Authentic Classical Joseph Pilates in Plano TX
Fit N Pilates offers authentic classical Joseph Pilates in Plano TX — private and semi-private sessions designed to build deep core strength, improve posture, and restore natural movement. Founded by Shannon Rene, Registered Dietitian (RD, LD) and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP), every session combines the original Pilates method with root-cause functional medicine nutrition for lasting results.
Do you want to move freely again with great posture and a strong core? Do you want to feel healthy, energetic, and pain-free — able to do activities you haven’t done in years?
If you live in the Plano, Dallas, or Frisco area, you’re in luck.
At Fit N Pilates we deliver these results through four core principles:
Results Focused!
We are committed to helping people of all abilities develop strong, balanced, and healthy bodies. Every session is built around the specific results you need — not a generic class routine.
Customized for you
Every client receives a program designed specifically for their unique body, lifestyle, and fitness goals. No two sessions are identical — because no two bodies are identical.
Authentic Pilates
We maintain the integrity and traditions of the authentic classical Joseph Pilates method — performed correctly on original spring-based equipment to deepen musculature, improve stabilization, and restore natural movement.
Expert Instructors
Many studios use instructors with minimal weekend training. At Fit N Pilates, every instructor holds certification from a major classical Pilates institution — most requiring 600+ hours of training. Lead instructor Denee completed over 1,000 hours of apprenticeship under Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates’ chosen protégé and keeper of the authentic method.
What is Pilates ?
https://www.fitnpilates.com/pilates-instruction/
It is a system of exercise originally developed by Joseph Pilates to rehabilitate prisoners of war in the late 1920s. This technique of exercise is now recognized as one the most effective methods to increase fitness levels, maintain strength, and maintain flexibility. Pilates has been used for years by world-class athletes as a foundation for their peak strength needs. Over the last two decades it has become recognized by health and wellness professionals, including orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists, as an excellent means of healing injuries and promoting spinal health.

Fit N Pilates Client Results
A 47 year old female complained of back pain and non-flexibility. After 4 sessions of Pilates her flexibility significantly increased and her back pain was eliminated.
A 31 year old female had tried to get back into the jeans she wore before having children. Her abdominals were the reason why she could not button her jeans. After 6 sessions in Pilates she was able to flatten her stomach and button her jeans.
A 48 year old loved basketball and had to completely give it as he aged. Problems with his groin and his lower back convinced him it was over. After only a 3-4 weeks of being trained by Shannon. he had better flexibility than he had in 20 years, was strong in his core and is back on the basketball floor!
A 48 year old female trained using the Pilates Method to gain strength in her knee before have a complete knee replacement. Immediately after surgery the doctor told her how strong her knee was and that she would recover more quickly than other patients that had not been doing Pilates. She was able to walk much sooner than most post-op knee replacement patients.

Shannon is the best Pilates instructor I’ve worked with! She gets to know each clients’ anatomy, strengths and weaknesses to customize each workout. She pushes me to try new things that I had no idea my body could do… I always leave feeling better, taller and stronger!
Shannon is amazing! She is a true professional in every sense of the word from her knowledge, expertise and care. She knows what she’s doing and gladly shares her wealth of knowledge with her clients. I highly recommend her!!!
After researching Pilates locations and reading positive reviews about Fit N Pilates and Shannon Rene, I signed up for a few trial sessions. It has been a gratifying experience. Shannon and her staff are experienced and trained. At six months into my sessions, I feel an improvement in my core strength and an overall positive physical feeling.
I started with Fit N Pilates after my orthopedic surgeon recommended I try it for my ankle. Working with Shannon and Alessandra was great! Not only did my ankle feel like it got more mobility, I felt like I got a great total body workout. The sessions were fun but challenging and both of the instructors were great to work with! I would highly recommend Fit N Pilates to all of my friends!
