Today we’d like to introduce you to Adele & Ashton Verrengia.
Hi Adele & Ashton, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Method Pilates began in 2017 when Ashton opened the first studio in Houston with a vision to offer high-intensity reformer Pilates in an inclusive, community-driven environment. What started as a single studio quickly gained momentum, attracting a loyal following and eventually expanding to multiple locations in Houston. From the beginning, Method has been about more than just movement — it’s been about empowering people to feel strong, confident, and connected through Pilates.
Now, in 2025, we’re bringing that same energy and philosophy to Austin. As sisters, we’ve always shared a passion for wellness, and opening Method Pilates in our hometown has been a dream come true. The Bouldin Creek studio is our third location and our first in Austin, and we’re so excited to welcome this incredible community into the Method family.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Like any entrepreneurial journey, it hasn’t always been a smooth road — but every challenge has helped shape Method into what it is today. From navigating the complexities of studio buildouts to managing the logistics of expansion and custom equipment, each phase has come with its own learning curve.
Expanding to Austin brought a new set of challenges, from construction delays to the pressure of launching in a new market while staying true to our core values. But through it all, our commitment to delivering an exceptional Pilates experience — and the support of our community — has kept us grounded and motivated.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Method Pilates?
Method Pilates is a high-intensity reformer Pilates studio known for blending the timeless principles of classical Pilates with modern strength training. We specialize in full-body workouts that focus on sculpting, alignment, and endurance — all delivered through our signature programming on custom reformers. Our classes are intentionally designed to be both athletic and accessible, allowing clients to move with precision while building strength and confidence.
What truly sets us apart is the energy and community inside our studios. From the curated playlists to the expert instruction, every detail is meant to motivate, challenge, and uplift. We’re proud to create an environment that feels elevated yet welcoming — one where you can show up exactly as you are and leave feeling better, stronger, and more connected.
Brand-wise, we’re most proud of the culture we’ve built. Method isn’t just about physical fitness — it’s about feeling good in your body and supported in your journey. With thoughtfully designed spaces, a passionate team, and a growing community, we’re committed to redefining what a Pilates studio can be.
Whether you’re a seasoned Pilates lover or brand new to the reformer, we’re here to meet you where you are — and help you reach where you want to go.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
Above all, we see the industry becoming more community-focused, with studios becoming places not just for physical exercise but for social connection and mental well-being. For us, that’s exactly what we’re aiming to create — a space where people can grow, connect, and be their best selves, both inside and outside the studio.
