About Us
Charlie’s Pilates & Barre is Swansboro’s new home for movement. Steps from the water in the historic downtown of the"Friendly City by the Sea," our studio is built on community.
We believe that movement is a privilege and working out is supposed to bring you joy!
Join us for small-group Reformer, Mat, and Barre sessions designed to help you build functional strength, increase mobility, and celebrate what your body can do.
Meet Charlotte—
Hello!
Thank you for being here! I’m Charlotte (aka Charlie) Yenney—owner of Charlie’s. Though I'm a born Georgia Peach, my heart has been right here in Swansboro for many years alongside my husband, Frank, and our golden retriever, Cooper.
My background in movement started early as a dancer & later a college cheerleader at Samford University. While navigating my career in marketing, I needed a practice that restored my strength, flexibility, and posture after long days at my computer. Pilates became my happy place, and after building my own personal practice, I became certified in Reformer, Mat, & Barre to share the practice with others.
At Charlie’s, our philosophy is simple: we only get one body, and getting to move it every day is a privilege!I believe exercise is for every body — through every age, stage, and season of life. From postpartum and injury recovery to seniors, beginners, and lifelong movers, there is a place for you here.
We’re building a community, and we can’t wait to welcome you into it!
Love,
Charlotte Yenney — Owner / Founder
Classic Pilates. Coastal Living.
My family and I are proud to call Swansboro home. There's something special about life by the water, and my hope is to bring a similar sense of sense of connection and peacefulness at Charlie's.
For many of us, life in Swansboro is spent doing what we love — boating, beach days, and enjoying the outdoors. My hope is that being a part of Charlie’s helps you keep doing those things for many years to come. From tying up the boat to picking up your beach chair, Pilates builds the strength and mobility to make everyday life a little easier, no matter your age or stage of life!
Let’s get moving!
