A new Pilates studio, Form Pilates, is set to open its doors in December at Discovery Corner in Discovery West. The studio, owned and operated by Rachel Day, will offer private and duet sessions, along with small, personalized classes, in the beautiful new space located at 1216 NW Skyline Ranch Road suite 100 next to Harper House Design.
Day has taught Pilates for 11 years, and previously owned a studio in Salt Lake City. She and her husband relocated to Bend in 2022 in search of the mountain town lifestyle and have since fallen in love with their west Bend neighborhood. Day said, “We are so grateful to call Bend home and have admired the community being built in Discovery West and the active lifestyle it reflects. I had been eyeing the Discovery Corner suites when they first went up, as it seemed like such a natural place to grow my business in Bend. I’m ecstatic that the perfect space was available when I decided the time was right to take the next step with Form, and I’m so excited to share my expertise and grow my business with the community.”
The studio will have a total of five reformers with towers, which most studios in town currently do not offer. This means Form workouts will be able to provide a larger variety of exercises and apparatuses tailored to its diverse clients’ needs.
Form Pilates focuses on building strength, mobility, and longevity. Day works with Bend’s active community to help them gain power and endurance while improving flexibility, so they can keep doing what they love for years to come.
With her advanced certifications and background in post-surgical rehabilitation, Day takes pride in teaching her clients about their bodies and how to move with intention through hands-on instruction and correction. As such, she will be keeping her classes small and approachable with a max class size of five students, delivering a personalized workout setting.

“Form Pilates will beautifully complement the other businesses in Discovery Corner, and will be a great addition to the neighborhood,” said Romy Mortensen, vice president, marketing and sales of Discovery West. “And what better time to open than December, when many of us are starting to focus on how to best prepare our bodies for the wonderful sports that winter brings.”
Form Pilates will join seven other businesses located around the Discovery Corner Plaza including Sparrow Mercado, Put a Cork in It wine bar, Anna Salon, Harcourts the Garner Group, MCD Homes, Harper House Design, and Bluebird Skin Therapy + Aesthetics, and Aerie by AvantStay, luxury overnight vacation rentals. Just two more retail spaces are available for lease.
