About Us
Meet Rachelle Ihlenfeldt
Founder, instructor, and unapologetic lover of good form.
Ziel Studio was created by Rachelle Ihlenfeldt with a simple goal: to help people move better and feel stronger — not just in class, but in everyday life. With a background in Dance, Pilates, Barre, as well as being a Qualified Biokineticist, Rachelle brings both precision and warmth to every session.
At Ziel, the focus is always on quality over quantity. Classes are intentionally designed, group sizes are kept small, and your name won’t go unnoticed. This is a space where members are known, challenged, and supported from day one.
Whether you’re new to movement or returning to it, Ziel welcomes you in with clean spaces, smart programming, and a community that moves together — one shake, pulse, and laugh at a time.
PILATES
Pilates focuses on control, alignment, and deep core strength — using bodyweight exercises that challenge your muscles in subtle but powerful ways.
BARRE
Barre blends strength, balance, and endurance using small, controlled movements — often targeting those ‘how-is-this-burning-so-much’ muscles.
REFORMER
Reformer Pilates offers guided, low-impact strength training that targets muscle you didn’t know you had — all with the support of spring-loaded equipment that works with your body, not against it.
Improvement over perfection. Always.
