Transform Your Fitness with Hilliard Studio Method: The Ultimate Power Workout in Myers Park

Authority Review: Hilliard Studio Method (HSM)—The "Pilates on Steroids" for Ultimate Power in Myers Park

For the established, high-achieving Charlotte woman, Hilliard Studio Method (HSM) is the highly-acclaimed, woman-owned fitness empire built on the promise of strength, confidence, and longevity. Located in the heart of Myers Park, HSM is internationally renowned for its proprietary, core-centric, total-body workout—famously described by Shape Magazine as "Pilates on steroids."

HSM’s formula is a calculated fusion of high-energy cardio, targeted strength training, and the deep alignment focus of Pilates. This method is engineered to stimulate muscle growth (the key to boosting metabolic rate), effectively sculpting the arms, flattening the abs, and toning the legs. If your goal is to be powerfully defined and see results at any age or stage of life, HSM provides the consistent intensity and inspiration you need to Be Powerful.

What Hilliard Studio Method Does

HSM delivers a dynamic, low-impact but high-intensity total-body transformation. The studio rejects the notion of plateauing by constantly changing its daily workout, ensuring muscles are continually challenged.

The core service is their signature group class, often complemented by recovery and specialized training:

The Method (Signature Class): A results-proven, 50-minute class designed to get your heart pumping and your muscles burning. The workout uses signature HSM floor work while incorporating specialized props like weights, resistance bands, balls, and gliders to push clients to their edge.
The Essential Method: A class dedicated to those new to HSM or seeking to focus on the fundamentals, teaching the correct form, alignment, and core connection necessary for advancement.
Specialized Workshops: The studio offers videos and streams for specific life stages, such as Powerful Pregnancy and Hot Flash Hottie, demonstrating their expertise in adapting their method for women's evolving physical needs.
Podcast: Liz Hilliard and her daughter, Clary Hilliard Gray, co-host the popular podcast "Be Powerful with Liz & Lee," sharing their passion for wellness and motivation.

The HSM Difference: Creator-Led Innovation and Metabolic Boost

HSM is not a franchise; it is a proprietary method developed by its founder, giving it a unique authority and proven track record:

Creator-Driven Lineage (Liz Hilliard): Founder Liz Hilliard developed the method in her early 50s as a certified STOTT Pilates trainer, specifically to address the core and strength loss associated with aging and menopause. Her personal journey—documented in her best-selling book, "Be Powerful: Find Your Strength At Any Age"—guarantees a deep, empathic, and expert understanding of the female body.
Strength Training Meets Pilates: HSM's power comes from its unique combination of resistance training and Pilates principles. This blend is crucial for increasing bone density and boosting the metabolic rate (muscle burns more calories at rest than fat), leading to superior, sustained fat loss and definition.
Total Mind-Body Transformation: The studio culture, anchored by Liz and her daughter, Lee Kennelly (Director of Training/Executive Team Manager), is focused on inspiring emotional and mental strength alongside the physical. Clients often describe the studio as their "happy place" and credit the community with boosting their confidence and mental health.
Accolades and Longevity: The studio has been recognized as the "Best Pilates Studio in Charlotte" for eight consecutive years, attesting to its enduring popularity and exceptional quality among discerning clients.
