About us

Every business has their story.

And there’s a whole lotta heart behind Assembly Movement.

Let’s get acquainted, shall we?

Assembly Movement first opened its doors to the public in March of 2023. This was a concept that had been on the owner Clio’s mind since she first fell in love with reformer pilates while living in Melbourne, Australia in 2011.

After that pivotal moment, Clio knew she wanted to open her own studio in Toronto. Having been an ex-gymnast, she appreciated how reformer Pilates allowed her to move her body dynamically. The improvement in Clio’s strength and flexibility was significantly noticeable when practicing, not to mention how good she felt overall.

Why Pilates,
Why Reformer?

Pilates focuses on learning to move in spinal alignment. This is specific to the practice and offers important functional benefits. Pilates focuses on using core muscles to maintain ideal spinal alignment while moving upper and lower body limbs - it is integral to maintain a strong core throughout life.

In reformer pilates specifically, the machine can provide consistent resistance, support, as well as alignment and position feedback. You can combine big and small movements to create an everlasting burn while working different parts of each muscle group. Reformer allows us to find muscles we didn't know existed and encourages us to move slower focusing on other muscles in our body.
