Is 2025 the year of Pilates? Meet Liana Levi, founder of the cult-favorite Forma Pilates. Born and raised in LA, Liana boldly pivoted from the fashion world to fitness during the pandemic, transforming her personal Pilates practice into a powerhouse brand that’s redefining the modern workout experience. With Forma Pilates, Liana blends an elevated aesthetic and athletic approach, creating a unique method and empowering community. What began as a single reformer in her mom’s pool house has grown into highly sought-after studios across LA, New York, and beyond, with even more exciting locations to come.
In this episode, Liana opens up about how she built Forma from the ground up, the mindset shifts that propelled her entrepreneurial journey, and why consistency, community, and self-care remain the heart of her mission. Liana also talks with Elizabeth about staying true to your vision in a crowded wellness space, balancing ambition with personal wellness, and what’s next for the ever-evolving Forma empire.
