Meet Laura
Laura Wilson, CEO & Founder of Natural Pilates, immigrated to the United States from Romania in 2002 with just $100 and a vision. In 2005, she opened her flagship studio in Beverly Hills, laying the foundation for what is now one of the most respected boutique fitness brands in the country. Since then, Laura has grown Natural Pilates to nine high-performing locations across Los Angeles and New York City, launched a digital fitness platform (NPTV), and developed a proprietary instructor training program and branded product line.
Beyond her reputation as a sought-after instructor, Laura has a proven track record as an operator. She has successfully overseen every facet of studio expansion—from negotiating leases and managing build-outs to hiring, team development, marketing, and long-term studio operations. Her leadership has driven Natural Pilates to $6.5 million in annual revenue while maintaining brand consistency, profitability, and client satisfaction across markets.
Laura is a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher and holds certifications from STOTT Pilates (2005), Gyrotonic (2008), Spin (2011), and Vinyasa Yoga (2011), along with advanced credentials in Resistance Training and Muscle Activation Techniques (2012). Her deep expertise in biomechanics and movement systems has shaped Natural Pilates’ distinct style: a blend of classical repertoire and modern functional anatomy that delivers results and longevity for clients.
