At APEX, our story:
APEX Pilates was founded by Rae Jarboe in 2019 in Gainesville, Florida, inspired by a vision to bring the pulse of the modern Pilates movement to a city ready to rise. After training at studios across the country, Rae set out to create something new—an experience that blends strength, intelligence, and artistry of movement.
With over a decade of expertise building Yoga Pod, APEX was designed to redefine what’s possible on the Xformer. Each class balances intensity and intention, crafted to be safe, challenging, and exhilarating.
APEX stands apart through innovative sequencing, unmatched instructor training, and a culture that’s as welcoming as it is driven.
At our core, we exist to transform your body, elevate your mind, and awaken joy. Through mindful movement and community, we cultivate strength that moves beyond the machine—into every part of life.
In 2025, APEX expands to Jacksonville Beach, led in partnership with Courtney O’Donnell—a longtime APEX leader and embodiment of our values. Together, we’re bringing the APEX experience to the coast, inspiring a new community to rise.
