Durham, N.C.– There are dozens of Pilates studios across North Carolina, but one in the Triangle stands out. Prevailing Pilates, opened by a Durham mom in 2023, is the first black-owned Pilates studio in the state. Already, there’s a waiting list to experience what makes this studio unique.
Sabrina Seymore, the owner, transitioned from planning weddings to focusing on building up women of all backgrounds through fitness. In an effort to create a truly inclusive space, Seymore works with individuals who may have felt excluded from traditional studios due to their height or weight, offering personalized care and modifications.
The studio has garnered praise from members like Tiffany Eubanks, who appreciates the supportive community and the emphasis on diverse body shapes and ethnicities. Seymore’s dedication to providing a safe and welcoming environment has made Prevailing Pilates a haven for those seeking a place where they feel comfortable and supported.
With the growing demand for her unique approach to Pilates, Seymore is considering expanding to accommodate more clients looking to become the best versions of themselves. By keeping class sizes small and focusing on individual needs, Seymore ensures that each person who walks through the studio doors receives the attention and care they deserve.
Prevailing Pilates is not just a place for exercise; it’s a space where everyone, regardless of background, shape, or size, can come together to prioritize their health and well-being. Seymore’s commitment to inclusivity and empowerment has created a space where individuals can feel seen, supported, and motivated to thrive.
