Renegade Pilates Miami was founded on November 30, 2016 and was originally located on NE 79th St just east of  Biscayne Blvd.

Thanks to our wonderful friends and clients we quickly outgrew this location, and on November 1, 2018 moved just a few short blocks away to a beautiful, sun-filled space on the corner of Biscayne Blvd and NE 82nd Terrace where we occupy the entire 2nd floor on top of Cartronics. For your convenience we have private gated parking on NE 82nd Terrace. Just park your car and enter through the glass door on NE 82nd Terrace and come upstairs!

Leslie Lawson

Leslie first began practicing Pilates in 2001 while living in New York City. As a child she was active in gymnastics and dance, playing on the monkey bars for hours on end. She started lifting weights at her local gym as a teenager and always dreamed of owning a fitness studio. 

After rediscovering Pilates to rehab a severe shoulder injury, Leslie decided to take the dive and realize her vision. In 2017, she decided to delve further into the world of movement by beginning the certification process with Power Pilates. By creating Renegade Pilates, Leslie brings many years of experience and her unique workout style to beautiful, sunny South Florida.

Isabel Chiariello

Isabel began practicing Pilates in 2012. Suffering from scoliosis and chondromalacia in her knees, Pilates completely improved her quality of life.
Wanting to share her discovery with others, she decided to pursue her certification in mat, and begin teaching mat Pilates in 2014.

In 2016 Isabel earned her certification in kundalini yoga and began teaching yoga shortly afterwards.

In 2020 Isabel further enhanced her knowledge and completed her 500 hour comprehensive Pilates education in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Springboard, Chair, Ladder Barrel, Special Populations, TRX, Trigger Point, and Barre.

On a personal note, the two practices have helped improve her way of life dramatically. “Both Pilates and yoga present a life changing opportunity to transform yourself and lead a conscious, healthy and balanced life, connecting the mind, body and soul.”
