About RI Collective
More Than a Pilates Studio
Wellness should not end when a Pilates class is over.
Movement, recovery, and meaningful connection belong together. RI Collective brings them together in one thoughtfully designed waterfront destination—where guests can strengthen their bodies, restore their well-being, and celebrate life’s meaningful moments.
about us
Meet Rita
Rita English is a Matwork and Reformer Pilates instructor through Breathe Education, trained in classical Pilates. She first fell in love with Pilates during her college years, where movement became more than just exercise—it became a form of balance, discipline, and mental clarity during stressful seasons of life.
Through Pilates, Rita found a sense of grounding and community that transformed both her mind and body, inspiring her passion for teaching and helping others experience that same feeling. She currently teaches private Pilates sessions from her intimate studio overlooking the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida.
Rita later founded RI Collective, a Pilates and wellness brand rooted in intentional movement, elevated experiences, and connection. Inspired by the calming energy of the river and the transformative impact Pilates had on her own life, RI Collective was created to offer more than movement—but meaningful wellness experiences that leave people feeling stronger, connected, and inspired to make Pilates part of their everyday life.
