The Method

Hilliard Studio Method, where Pilates meets Strength Training, is an award-winning workout that promotes the strength of the spine and the power of the core while strengthening and sculpting the body and the mind.Unique, proven, and unparalleled, Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

The Background

The Method started in 2007 with a request from Liz’s daughter, Clary who was hoping to get in the best shape of her life for her wedding. Liz took the challenge to heart and her passion and science-based research led to amazing results for both mother and daughter.  They realized that the physical results from HSM were unequivocal at any age. The two became business partners in 2012 until 2020 when Clary decided to step away and become a full time mom.

Hilliard Studio Method has grown to have a thriving community in all 50 states and internationally with their  online streaming platform, live Zoom classes, and fully stocked wellness boutique out of their HSM flagship studio in Charlotte, NC. Liz continues to be the driving force behind the brand which has evolved to include the Hilliard Studio Podcast with her co-host and HSM Director of Training, Lee Kennelly.

“My purpose was to create a challenging and engaging workout that would efficiently and safely change the body with the most effective, fast and lasting results.”
