Ashlee Carignan comes from an athletic background, from playing competitive soccer to being dedicated to fitness classes & the gym life. Ashlee has always been passionate about a healthy lifestyle.
Ashlee's Pilates career started 13 years ago, after completing an intense certification program of the Ivan Dahl Method. She quickly became addicted to the practice of Pilates & was excited by the idea of building a career around the teachings of Joseph's theory: The Complete Coordination Between the Mind, Body & Soul.
​
Ashlee has opened up her Pilates Studio, PWA, to share her Pilates passion with men & women of ALL ages, sizes & backgrounds, all the while, helping strengthen their physical, mental & emotional journey's! Ashlee prides herself on having an open-minded, "no type" Studio where people can come & feel at their BEST. That's PWA at its finest!
After a series of residencies at some of LA’s most popular Pilates studios, Ashlee launched & expanded her own location in the Beverlywood neighborhood of LA - appropriately called
“Pilates with Ashlee aka~ PWA."
January 2018, marked PWA's first year open & the studio continues to thrive!
Ashlee's broad array of clients include ALL skill levels - from true beginners to Pro Olympian athletes, everyone is welcomed!
This inspired Ashlee to create her one of a kind, "Buddy System." This system pairs clients with 2-3 people at the same skill level, providing clients with the ultimate & BEST workout in LA. This system has proven to enhance her client's Pilates abilities while keeping classes at an affordable rate!
​
"I LOVE working with every unique client of mine to help them see & achieve their personal goals. Meeting new people & connecting with them on a weekly basis is why I love my job. Waking up knowing that I can impact someone's life, or just change their attitude around for just that day - THAT'S THE ULTIMATE FEELING! Priceless."
