Tunnel Pilates
 

Tunnel Pilates is a contemporary heated reformer and mat Pilates studio founded by Kelly Klein and Kristen Kelley. Born in Venice Beach, California, Tunnel emerged from a shared frustration with a Pilates industry that had grown predictable:technically correct but culturally disconnected, aesthetically narrow, and physically underwhelming. Tunnel reimagines Pilates through a sharper, more immersive lens—infused with East Coast hustle energy and inspired by the after-hours intensity of Brooklyn warehouse parties. The studios are dark and atmospheric, stripped of the soft, hyper-feminine polish that dominates much of the wellness space. Music is loud. Heat is deliberate.  Classes are grounded in modern biomechanics and contemporary movement science, delivering a training experience that is intelligent, progressive, and physically demanding. This is Pilates designed to build strength, resilience, and presence—not performative movement or franchised routines frozen in time. Set within red-light infrared heated rooms and powered by curated, cultureforward playlists, Tunnel classes blur the line between workout and ritual. The result is a space where fitness, fashion, and nightlife sensibilities intersect—where movement feels expressive, personal, and unapologetically cool. Now with locations in Venice Beach and Vancouver, Tunnel Pilates continues to attract a community drawn to strength with edge and intention with attitude.
