ABOUT THE FORMERYA method, not a moment.
The Formery is a Pilates and strength training studio built on structure, intention, and progression.
Rooted in the principles of Pilates, our method expands to integrate strength training, conditioning, and recovery into a complete, balanced system. Each class has a purpose. Each sequence is designed. Every recommendation is intentional.
This is not fitness by chance. This is training by design.
Your experience is built around your current goals — but it does not stop there. As your strength, capacity, and lifestyle evolve, so does your approach. What you need now is not what you will need later — and our method is designed to adapt with you.
Whether you are building strength, refining control, or increasing output, you are not left to figure it out alone. Your path is guided, structured, and continuously refined.
WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN TRENDS.Our instructors are not just teachers. They are practitioners of the method — trained to coach with precision, adapt in real time, and guide every client toward measurable progress.
Each instructor brings a depth of movement knowledge and a shared commitment to what we do here: structured, intentional PROGRAMMING that produces real results. Whether you are here for Pilates, Strength Training, or just looking for the studio where you feel home, you are welcome here.
KATIE DAVISmeet the founder
Katie Davis is the Founder and Master Trainer of The Formery, a Pilates and strength training studio in Bel Air, Maryland. A former teacher with a lifelong Pilates practice, Katie has always been driven by service and by work that genuinely improves people's lives. That drive eventually led her away from a stable but disconnected corporate career and back into health and fitness, where she built deep expertise as a certified instructor, health coach, and nutrition specialist.
Years of teaching Pilates convinced Katie that the industry was missing something: real community. Too many studios felt transactional. The Formery is her answer — a studio built on structure, intention, and connection, where classical Pilates expands into a complete training system designed to help clients build lasting strength.
