The most enjoyable and efficient 45 minutes of your day.

High Intensity Pilates on the XFORMER - El Cerrito, CA

We believe exercise is a celebration of all the things our body can do. 

Plank + Power is a space where exercise is designed to be inclusive, motivating, and fun. We encourage you to listen to your body whether that means scaling back with a modification or ramping up for an extra challenge. Movement is joyful and we cannot wait to get moving with you!

In class expect to incorporate traditional pilates techniques with cardio and strength training together for an ultra efficient 45 minute class.

We work each muscle group at a slow and controlled pace removing any momentum. After just one class we think you’ll agree that moving slow is so much harder! Most importantly, as intense as Plank + Power classes are on our muscles, it is low-impact and gentle on our joints and spine, making classes accessible to all fitness levels.

  • "I started with Megan as a beginner and have stuck with her. Her Basics class is tough but she explains the moves, demonstrates them and gives constant feedback to beginners. Her workouts are intense but she is not. Her delivery is calm and methodical which I appreciate- she’s never loud or hurried. At the end she asks for feedback and helps people if they feel they did not get the right posture for a pose. Megan is a superb instructor!"

  • "Megan was the first high intensity pilates instructor I took classes with and she got me hooked! After almost a decade of taking classes at multiple studios she is still hands down the best instructor I’ve had. Her classes are challenging but inviting and she works with every client to help them achieve their goals."

  • "Megan is fun, knowledgeable and personable. She has an amazing way of communicating her incredible depth of knowledge to all her students regardless of their experience level. Megan knows everyone’s name, how to motivate you to push harder but also emphasizes listening to your body and gives great modifications when you need to scale back. She always comes up with creative routines and she’s extremely witty and funny. Her classes are good for the soul, mentally and physically. Megan truly cares about all of her students and is a gift to the community."
