About Plunge Pilates Studio

---

Plunge Pilates Studio is a unique movement experience that takes Pilates off the mat and onto the water. Founded by accredited Pilates and Stand-Up Paddle board instructor, Diana Fabrega, the program was born from the natural intersection of her passions and professional expertise, to deliver a powerful yet mindful full-body workout. 

For years, gym access and yoga classes have been standard amenities across hotels and resorts, while spa-centric properties continue to expand. But today’s traveler is no longer satisfied with what’s expected. There is a growing demand for exclusive, non-traditional experiences—offerings that feel rare, intentional, and impossible to replicate at home.

Wellness-focused travel has rapidly evolved from a niche interest into a global movement. While wellness retreats once centered primarily on spa treatments and relaxation, modern “wellness travel” has expanded far beyond pampering. We are now in what industry leaders call a “no-normal” era of travel—where guests seek not only a change of scenery, but a transformative experience. Travelers want to challenge themselves, reconnect with their bodies, and explore a more adventurous, elevated version of their lifestyle while away.

This shift has fueled the rise of what’s being described as “new-age fitness”—a holistic approach that blends physical training with mindfulness, spiritual awareness, and a deeper connection to nature. Practices rooted in natural movement and healing, such as Aquatic Fitness and Pilates, are at the forefront of this trend. In fact, Mindbody reported Pilates as the most popular workout of 2023, with class bookings up 92% and Google searches increasing by 71%.

Plunge Pilates is a distinctive evolution of classical Pilates and related modalities—reimagined on water. This innovative aquatic fitness program centers on Resistance Instability Training (RIT), a dynamic method that enhances core strength, balance, flexibility, agility, and endurance while remaining low-impact. The result is an energizing, highly effective workout that is both accessible and transformative, regardless of fitness level.

With swimming pools and beachfronts serving as the visual and experiential centerpiece of hotels and resorts worldwide, Plunge Pilates offers an amenity unlike any other. It is a beautifully designed, forward-thinking activation that captures attention, elevates the guest experience, and adds meaningful value to any property. More than a fitness class, Plunge Pilates is a standout wellness offering—one with the potential to redefine how guests engage with health, movement, and self-care during their stay. 

It is Diana’s mission is to introduce this concept to the world as a signature wellness brand—setting a new standard for water-based training, and offering a transformative movement experience that empowers individuals to build strength, balance, and confidence on and off the water.
