Founder. SamanthA GIPSON

Samantha’s business is a true manifestation of her passion to live a fulfilled life by means of health, community, fun, and balance. Samantha has been a fitness teacher since 2015 sharing not only her expertise on pilates, strength-training, and mobility but her wisdom on body-positivity and self-love through movement and nourishment. She started her retreat company Cultivate Retreats in 2018.

Growing up in North Carolina, Samantha was involved in a variety of sports, but truly fell in love with holistic fitness post-college. This love stemmed from her own personal challenge with body negativity and exhaustion after years in the Fashion Industry.

After a relatable journey down the path of diet-after-diet and fitness fad-after-fitness fad, Samantha had her “wake-up” moment when she finally let go and listened to her heart and body. The injuries sustained from her overtraining and cyclical dieting led her to Pilates classes and welcoming a new holistic approach to life and wellness. This ultimately led her to cultivate (pun-intended) a fitness and wellness company that teaches body love through well-rounded sweaty, effective, and fun workout regimes.

Samantha Gipson Pilates offers a variety of training opportunities to match your lifestyle including private and group training classes, as well as fitness and wellness retreats. With a specialized focus on pilates, strength training, mobility/fascia work, and high-intensity-interval-training (HIIT) you will leave these classes feeling strong, rejuvenated, and confident in what your body can do. It wouldn’t be a surprise if you left with some of Samantha’s body-positive and warm energy too!

Enjoy a range of Samantha Gipson Pilates classes throughout Atlanta, GA or reap the benefit of her trainings from the comfort of your home. If you are looking for a “wake-up” moment in your own life, Cultivate Retreats grants you nourishment for your spirit through great workouts, delicious and wholesome food, interactive activities, and inspiring friendships. Samantha’s teaching method is pilates-inspired movements, focusing on muscles that improve posture and proper movement patterns, interspersed with cardio boosts to get your heart rate up and burn more calories. Her workouts are tough, but focused on proper form and keeping the mood light and fun.

Today, Samantha is sharing with her clients a newfound practice that resonates most closely with her new lifestyle: motherhood. She now offers The Prenatal Pilates Series for Every Body complete with training regimens for all three trimesters. Samantha’s own journey of pregnancy along with her experience of training pregnant clients over the years, she became aware of all the overwhelming and potentially misleading information out there around what workouts to do and when you should do them.

Samantha Gipson and Cultivate Retreats is your opportunity to uncover the balance, health, and wellness already within you. No matter your current lifestyle, challenges, desires, or if you’re bringing another life into the world Samantha Gipson Pilates is for Every Body. Samantha’s intuitive spirit and badass, “you can do it” mentality accepts you where you are, but more importantly where you want to be.
