About us.
T H E F O U N D E R SDevin & Courtney Thomas
Hi! we’re Devin and Courtney — a husband and wife team, parents of two, and proud Sumner locals with a deep love for this community.
After years in the corporate world, Courtney stepped away to pursue a longtime dream: opening a space rooted in movement, connection, and wellness in our Hometown. Going back to her degree from UW in Public Health and Communications, she is excited to serve in a new way.
Devin brings the creative vision—he’s a designer with a passion for intentional, thoughtful branding and interior design that you’ll see reflected throughout our studio.
At The Press Pilates, we blend the precision of boutique Pilates with the comfort of a neighborhood studio. Our space is designed for those who are looking for expert instruction, personalized attention, and a true sense of community. We can’t wait to meet you in the studio.
Our approach is rooted in three core values: stretch, strengthen, and serving—our clients and community.
Our core values:
Strengthen
Strengthening is the primary outcome of every class. We focus on building a strong foundation by improving stability, control, and confidence through intentional and well-designed movement. Our approach emphasizes alignment and form to support long-term strength, helping every client feel capable and strong—both in the studio and in everyday life.
Stretch
Stretching is a foundational element in every class at The Press. It’s essential for joint health, injury prevention, improved posture, and overall mobility. We prioritize thoughtful stretching to help clients move with greater ease, release tension, and support the body’s ability to move and function at its best.
Serve
Service is the heart of our studio. We are dedicated to creating a welcoming environment where every client feels seen, supported, and valued. Equally important, we embrace our role within the broader community by fostering connection, promoting wellness, and actively serving those around us.
