My name is Brittaney Fortwendel, Owner/Founder of Studio Upgrade. My Pilates journey began in 2001 watching my mother complete her Pilates certification. In 2007 I began my certification process in Pilates while working as an apprentice in my mother's Pilates studio in Lafayette, IN. I had the privilege of working in her studios from 2007 - 2014. In 2014 I relocated to Zionsville, IN and began building a Pilates program for a corporate health club in the Indianapolis area. My time there allowed me to grow my education, adding nutrition counseling & life coaching to my certification list. In 2020 Covid-19 shook our industry. It became apparent my passion for working with specialty populations required additional precautions to keep everyone safe. The decision to open my own space both virtually and in our brick & mortar location was an obvious way forward.
I am blessed to have an amazing husband and son supporting and cheering me along. We are truly a family business. You can find my kiddo doing his homework in the office and my husband performing maintenance on the equipment often in the studio. We look forward to welcoming you into our happy place soon.
