Every great brand begins with a story — a quiet spark, an intuition, a shared belief that movement could be more than a workout.

For Shannon Crane and Michal Rouse, that belief became CRANE — a Pilates studio rooted in refinement, precision, and purpose.

Nestled in the heart of Calabasas, CRANE is both sanctuary and statement. Steps away from the buzz of the local cafés and the warmth of the community, it feels worlds apart — a serene, light-filled space where movement is treated as art. Within its minimalist walls, neutral tones meet sculptural lines; reformers sit in quiet symmetry beneath soft natural light. It’s a place that mirrors its surroundings — the ease of Southern California living, elevated by an undercurrent of discipline and design.

Born from a mutual respect for form and function, CRANE represents a philosophy that extends beyond fitness. The Crane Method is a mindful approach to strength, control, and grace. The name itself carries symbolism: the crane, a creature of balance and poise, embodies longevity, elegance, and quiet power. It stands on one leg — grounded yet elevated — much like the individuals who move within the studio.
