Be Fit Modern Pilates reached its one-year anniversary at Watters Creek Village in Allen on Aug. 22.

The studio at 979 Garden Park Drive, Suite E200, next to Hiatus Spa, is one of five Dallas-area Be Fit locations.

The others are in Addison, Inwood Village, Uptown Dallas and Lower Greenville, according to the company's website. Memberships work across all five studios.

Every class runs 45 minutes on the XFormer, a machine custom-built for Be Fit studios. Spring resistance is adjustable, so sessions scale for beginners and experienced clients, the company says. The method centers on slow resistance, controlled movement and sustained core engagement.

"Be Fit uses a high-intensity, low-impact method with the X-former, which sets us apart from studios using classical Pilates methods," Gabi Budihas, who handles public relations and media for the company, said in a Sept. 8 email to Community Impact.

The Allen studio targets growing families, Allen ISD parents and young professionals commuting on US 75 or working in the Collin County corporate corridor, according to its website.

The studio sits minutes from Allen Premium Outlets and the Sam Rayburn Tollway, with free parking in the lot outside.

First-timers must book an intro class to learn the machine before joining a regular session. Modifications are available for injuries and pregnancy. Classes must be booked in advance through the Be Fit website or app. The studio does not accept walk-ins.

The studio's Instagram account lists a grand opening special offering $15 classes with no purchase limit at the Allen location. That offer runs through Oct. 15.

Hours are Monday through Thursday from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 5 a.m. to noon, Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon, and Sunday from 8 a.m. to noon and 4 to 6 p.m.
