Movement With Purpose.

Expertise Without Compromise.

LG Movement was founded on the belief that exceptional Pilates begins with exceptional instruction.

Every session is rooted in education, biomechanics, and purposeful progression.

Meet The Founder

LG Movement was founded by Lindsay Grymes, a comprehensively certified Pilates instructor, choreographer, and movement educator dedicated to helping clients build strength, confidence, and longevity through purposeful movement.


A former professional dancer and graduate of Marymount Manhattan College with a BFA in Dance and Choreography, Lindsay's journey into Pilates began long before opening her studio doors. What started as a tool to support performance quickly became a lifelong study of movement, biomechanics, and the Pilates method itself.


Over the past decade, Lindsay has worked extensively alongside leading physical therapists throughout the Washington, DC region, helping clients transition from rehabilitation back to the activities they love. This experience shaped her understanding of movement not only as exercise, but as education. It also reinforced a belief that continues to guide her teaching today: people are often capable of far more than they realize when given the right tools, guidance, and progression.

Her clients range from professional dancers and athletes to healthcare professionals, prenatal and postpartum clients, and individuals navigating complex movement histories. While her background in rehabilitation informs every class she teaches, Lindsay's true passion lies in helping clients move beyond limitations and develop lasting strength through the Pilates method.


At LG Movement, Pilates is not treated as a trend or a collection of exercises. It is taught as a system. Clients learn not only what to do, but why they are doing it. Through thoughtful programming, detailed instruction, and intentionally small class sizes, Lindsay creates an environment where clients can build skill, confidence, and a deeper understanding of their bodies over time.

Known for her thorough teaching style and commitment to the integrity of the method, Lindsay believes that beginners deserve real Pilates, experienced practitioners should continue refining the fundamentals, and that movement should remain both challenging and rewarding throughout a lifetime.



Today, LG Movement has become one of the most sought-after Pilates studios in the Bethesda area, built on a simple philosophy:

Pilates is education. Strength is earned. Longevity is the goal.

Where Strength, Healing, and Longevity Begin.

More Than a Workout. A Complete System of Training.

Why LG Movement

Pilates was designed as a complete system of physical training, and at LG Movement, we teach it that way.


Using both the Reformer and Cadillac, clients develop strength, mobility, coordination, control, balance, and body awareness through progressive, purposeful movement. Rather than focusing on trends, excessive choreography, or isolated exercises, our approach emphasizes the principles that have defined the Pilates method for generations: precision, concentration, control, breath, and flow.


Our classes are intentionally small, allowing for individualized coaching, meaningful corrections, and measurable progression. Clients are not simply guided through a workout. They are taught how to understand and apply the Pilates method, including exercise execution, transitions, apparatus operation, and movement principles.

Many clients find us after exploring other Pilates experiences and are looking for something deeper: a stronger connection to the method, clearer instruction, and a more comprehensive approach to movement.


While our group classes are educational, challenging, and designed to help clients build independence within the work, private lessons and duets provide the opportunity for more individualized programming, movement assessment, rehabilitative goals, and injury-specific support.


Whether your goal is athletic performance, longevity, injury prevention, or simply moving better in everyday life, Pilates provides a framework for building strength that lasts.


This is not simply exercise. It is a practice. A system.

And a lifelong investment in how you move.

Purpose in every movement.

How You Can Train

Group Classes


Pilates is more than a workout. It's an education.


Every LG Movement class is intentionally limited to five clients, allowing for expert instruction, individualized corrections, and meaningful progression. Using both the Reformer and Cadillac, clients develop strength, control, coordination, mobility, and a deeper understanding of the Pilates method.


Foundations


The foundation of the Pilates method.


Our entry-level class. No Pilates experience is required, but clients should expect to be challenged. Foundations focuses on the beginner Pilates repertoire, proper technique, transitions, breath, control, and flow while building strength and confidence on the apparatus.


Level 1.5


Instructor Approval Required


Designed for clients who have mastered the fundamentals and are ready for increased pace, complexity, and independence. Classes move faster, introduce more challenging exercises, and require a strong understanding of both the Reformer and Cadillac.


Level 2


Instructor Approval Required


Our most advanced group class. Designed for experienced practitioners with a strong understanding of the Pilates method, advanced repertoire, transitions, and apparatus proficiency. Approval is based on demonstrated competency in class, not fitness level alone.


Is Group Pilates Right for Me?


Group classes require participants to independently get on and off equipment, transition between positions, and participate in a steady-paced class environment.


Clients experiencing frequent dizziness, fainting, significant balance concerns, recent surgery, or medical restrictions that may affect safe participation should contact the studio prior to booking.


While modifications are available, group classes are designed to teach the Pilates method in a shared learning environment. Clients requiring individualized programming, injury-specific exercise, or ongoing movement assessment may find private instruction more appropriate when available.

Private Lessons


Our one-on-one sessions are designed for clients seeking the most personalized Pilates experience. Private lessons focus on movement quality, strength development, athletic performance, and individualized programming tailored to each client's goals.


Private instruction at LG Movement is built around ongoing client relationships and standing weekly appointments. This approach allows for consistent programming, measurable progress, and a deeper level of coaching than can be achieved through occasional sessions.


55-minute Private Session: $125


Availability for new private clients is extremely limited.


Professional dancers, athletes, and individuals seeking long-term private training are welcome to contact the studio at info@lgmovement.com. If we are unable to accommodate your request, we are happy to provide recommendations from our network of trusted Pilates instructors, physical therapists, and movement professionals.


For many clients, our five-person group classes provide an exceptional Pilates experience, offering expert instruction, individualized feedback, and meaningful corrections in a small-group environment.

Why Reformer & Cadillac?

More than equipment. A more complete way to train.

The Reformer and Cadillac were designed to work together, each offering unique benefits that build strength, mobility, coordination, and body awareness. While many studios focus exclusively on the Reformer, LG Movement incorporates both apparatuses to create a more comprehensive Pilates experience.

The Reformer

Dynamic, athletic, and endlessly versatile.

The Reformer challenges strength, stability, coordination, and control through spring resistance and a moving carriage. It develops full-body strength while improving posture, balance, and functional movement.

The Cadillac

Strength beyond the Reformer.


While the Cadillac has roots in rehabilitation, it's also one of the most powerful strength-training tools in the Pilates method. Its spring system creates resistance from multiple directions, challenging the body through pulling, pushing, hanging, pressing, and stabilizing movements that build functional, full-body strength.


The Cadillac also allows for greater exercise variety, making it an exceptional tool for developing shoulder stability, upper body strength, spinal mobility, coordination, and core control. Whether you're recovering from injury or looking to push your performance, the Cadillac offers possibilities that extend far beyond the Reformer.
