Today we’d like to introduce you to Sam Rogers and Kaitlyn.
Hi Sam and Kaitlyn, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Kaitlyn and Sam bring over a decade of combined experience in the Pilates industry, including leading group classes and managing many successful studios throughout Orange County and Northern California. Their deep knowledge of what it takes to open, operate, and grow a thriving studio inspired them to take the leap and create something of their own. In October 2024, they opened the doors to their very own studio—a space built on passion, purpose, and a shared commitment to helping others feel their best. Since then, it’s been an incredible journey of building a supportive community and shaping a studio that truly reflects their values and love for Pilates.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Overall, it’s been a fairly smooth road—and we’re so grateful for that. Our previous experience in the industry really set us up for success. We knew what to expect, what systems worked, and how to navigate the day-to-day challenges that come with running a studio. One of the biggest advantages has been having such a strong partnership. Between the two of us, nothing gets overlooked. We each bring unique strengths to the table, and we’re always aligned on our goals and vision.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Coastal Core Pilates?

We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
We definitely feel like we got lucky with our location! We happened to stumble upon this beautiful, brand-new building right on Coast Highway, and it felt like everything just aligned. The space features stunning floor-to-ceiling glass windows that accordion open, letting in tons of natural light and fresh ocean air. It has that bright, airy, coastal vibe we had been dreaming of—and it truly brings the energy of our studio to life.
