About the studio
A classical practice with deep roots.
International Pilates Center is one open room on East Bay Street—fully equipped with Gratz apparatus, the first of its kind in Charleston.
Jamie Trout opened the studio in 2016 after nearly thirty years of teaching. Her goal: to plant roots near family and create a place where people could learn to move with efficiency and freedom.
There’s usually a springer spaniel asleep beside one of the reformers.
What classical Pilates means at IPC →
Jamie trained in classical ballet at the North Carolina School of the Arts. In 1998, she achieved the level of teacher under Romana Kryzanowska—protégé of Joseph Pilates—who personally administered her test. After teaching in Atlanta, Jamie opened a studio at the Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne in 2001 and taught there for six years while continuing her work under Sari Mejia Santo at True Pilates New York.
Romana recognized Jamie as a Teacher Trainer in 2005. In March 2026, Jamie was promoted to Level 2. She continues to train Romana’s Pilates teachers around the world and returns home to teach in Charleston.
