Miami, FL / Jun 16, 2026 / Sync Into FORMATION Pilates

Sync into Formation, the female-founded Pilates, Barre, and spiritual wellness studio redefining mindful movement in South Florida, announced the expansion of its Miami location just one year after its grand opening. The studio has doubled its footprint to 1,500 square feet and expanded into the neighboring space at 18641 NE 24th Place, Suites 105 & 106, Miami, FL 33180, creating room for additional classes, wellness experiences, and a growing community of members.

The expansion comes in response to overwhelming demand and allows Sync into Formation to increase its capacity from 8 reformers to 12 reformers, while introducing additional programming including Reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates, Barre, and specialty classes designed to support members at every stage of their wellness journey. Co-founder Marie Manalo brings 15 years of experience in fitness, having taught Reformer, Mat Pilates, Barre, and indoor cycling for major fitness brands and boutique studios in the Miami area, ensuring a high standard of instruction and community support.

All classes at Sync into Formation are taught under the innovative MoMa Method, designed to sculpt and strengthen the body, ensuring that no workout is the same. Each session is dynamic and innovative, providing an engaging experience that encourages members to explore their capabilities.

Since opening, Sync into Formation has distinguished itself as more than a fitness studio. Built on the belief that movement and mindfulness belong together, every class incorporates intentional wellness elements, including sound bowl meditations, spiritual teachings, breath work, and lavender-infused cool towels, creating an experience that nurtures both body, mind, and spirit.

The expanded studio will offer increased class availability, enhanced wellness programming, and dedicated opportunities for community gatherings, workshops, and events focused on personal growth, wellness, and spirituality.

“We are thrilled to be entering this next chapter of growth,” said Marie Manalo, Co-Founder of Sync into Formation. “What began as a vision to create a space where movement, mindfulness, and community could thrive together has exceeded anything we imagined. Our members have embraced this concept wholeheartedly, and this expansion allows us to serve more people while maintaining the personalized experience that makes Sync into Formation so special.”

The new space reflects the founders’ commitment to creating an environment where physical fitness, mental wellness, and authentic connection coexist. In addition to expanded Pilates programming, Sync into Formation will continue to emphasize wellness and spirituality through workshops, specialty events, meditation experiences, and community-centered initiatives.

“From day one, our mission has been to help people reconnect with themselves through movement, mindfulness, and meaningful relationships,” said Karissa Merrill, Co-Founder of Sync into Formation. “This expansion isn’t simply about adding more equipment or classes. It’s about creating more opportunities for transformation, healing, growth, and connection. We are building a true wellness community where people feel seen, supported, and inspired.”

Over the past year, Sync into Formation has become a destination for individuals seeking more than a workout. The studio has cultivated a vibrant community, supported local and member-owned businesses, hosted wellness events, and been featured throughout the South Florida wellness scene for its unique approach to holistic fitness.

“The momentum has been incredible,” Manalo added. “We opened just one year ago, and our members immediately wanted more—more classes, more wellness experiences, and more opportunities to connect. This expansion allows us to continue evolving while staying grounded in the values that brought us here.”
