Melt Hot Pilates is Nashville’s newest, and hottest mat Pilates studio. The owner had a vision that was built through the idea of a feeling; fire and ice. These words were used to define and develop the client experience, taking them through a soothing check-in experience upon arrival, and leading them into a heated workout experience like no other. The design team used this vision to turn the 1,942-sf basement into a physical dichotomy between tranquility and intensity. 

Entering through the lobby, clients are greeted with a cooling effect though limewash paint, concrete floors, and soft neutral tones. Tile, furniture, and mirrors were carefully selected to curate this experience. Clients are then immersed into the heated studio, wrapped around red walls and rich tile underneath a glowing ambience. The studio reaches 105 degrees, so visitors are truly melting. The warm glowing lighting around the ceiling creates an atmosphere that is intense, energizing, and deeply embodied.  

The goal was to balance the concepts and create a one-of-a-kind experience. Walking into the studio and breaking a sweat, and being able to walk out into a grounding space to physically and mentally rejuvenate.
