About RYB Pilates

Rock Your Body Pilates was born out of a simple idea: to bring a fun, challenging, results-driven workout to the residents of metro Detroit. By utilizing the infamous Megaformer M3 Pilates machine, Rock Your Body Pilates strives to transform the way that traditional Pilates is done.

Ashley Bazzetta, owner and studio director of Rock Your Body Pilates, has always had a passion for physical fitness and health. Lifelong training in many forms of dance brought her to study Health-Wellness and dance at Oakland University. She also became certified in the gold standard of Pilates methods, Stott Pilates, and taught at several area Pilates studios.

Our Story

Ashley recognized a slight problem with traditional Pilates. “I loved Pilates, but I didn’t like having to add in a separate cardio workout to it,” she said. “When I read an article about Sebastien Lagree’s Megaformer machine, I knew I had to try it out.”

When Bazzetta used the Megaformer during a trip to Dallas, she knew she had found something that not only worked, but was fun, too. “It was unlike any workout I had done before,” she said. “I loved it.”

Bazzetta became Lagree Fitness-certified, formerly known as SPX-certified, and trained all across the country, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Bazzetta loved the Megaformer workout so much, in fact, that she took a job teaching at a studio in Dallas.

After teaching in Texas, however, Bazzetta knew she wanted something more. She wanted to open her own Megaformer studio, and bring it back to Michigan.
