Pilates with purpose: giving back to our Community.
Acuity Pilates Studio supports a number of community causes through our charitable partnerships. From education and mental health to trans rights and domestic violence, we donate 10% of all class proceeds to a wide range of causes and charitable organizations throughout Canada.
Giving by the Numbers
There are a number of incredible local charities making a positive impact in our communities, but many don’t have adequate resources to raise awareness for their cause or the funding to effectively undertake the important work they do.
Our contributions help these organizations make a direct impact: They are creating real, positive change where we live and addressing critical local issues to help those who need it most. By supporting their causes, we're not just giving back, we're investing in the future of our community and fostering a stronger, more connected place that we're proud to call home.

Our Current Community Partners.
The Kettle Society
The Kettle Society's mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals living with mental illness.
They provide advocacy, housing, employment and community services, offering opportunities to access compassionate assistance; supporting recovery for those living with mental illness; promoting mental health in the community; and promoting inclusion of individuals living with mental illness in all aspects of society.
Vancouver Food Runners
Vancouver Food Runners’ mission is to reconcile the fact that 58% of all food produced in Canada is wasted or lost, while one in seven households in British Columbia is food insecure.
They aim to prevent good food from entering the waste stream – where it will negatively harm our environment – and redirect it to nonprofits in Vancouver that work with the community's most vulnerable members.
Urban Butterflies
Urban Butterflies is a support group for indigenous girls ages 7 to 14, run by the Pacific Association of First Nations Women (PAFNW).
Through mentorship and opportunities to learn and engage in cultural art, dance and spirituality, the group helps to improve health outcomes of young First Nations/Metis/Inuit youth while developing skills to survive the emotional pain associated with living in foster care away from their family.
