About Design 2 Move Pilates · Chandler, Arizona
At Design 2 Move Pilates, we don't simply teach exercise — we restore the body's innate intelligence. Rooted in advanced movement science and guided by one of Arizona's most credentialed Pilates instructors, our studio exists for those who demand more.
The tensegrity principle
Our philosophy
The human body is a tensegrity system — a masterpiece of structural engineering in which the skeletal framework and muscular network exist in continuous, interdependent tension. Your bones never actually touch; it is the seamless interplay of compressed structure and tensioned fascia that holds you upright, keeps you mobile, and allows you to move without pain.
When one component of that system carries more load than it should — whether from injury, surgery, compensation, or years of repetitive movement — the entire structure is compromised. This is not a mechanical failure. It is a pattern that can be identified, addressed, and corrected.
Our name is a conviction: the human body is designed to move with ease, efficiency, and freedom from pain. Every D2M session is built around identifying where your tensegrity system has been disrupted — and methodically rebuilding the neuromuscular connections and structural integrity your body needs to thrive.
Clinical expertise
A credential stack rarely found outside clinical sports medicine — brought to every session at D2M.
The world's most rigorous and evidence-based Pilates certification, grounded in modern exercise science and rehabilitation principles recognized worldwide.
Advanced certification in programming for clients recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic pain — bridging the gap between physical therapy and long-term wellness.
Specialized training in performance-focused programming for competitive athletes — improving strength, stability, power transfer, and injury resilience across all sports.
Certified in the science of connective tissue and fascial kinetic chains — addressing the root cause of movement dysfunction, not just its surface symptoms.
Currently pursuing a second bachelor's degree in Kinesiology at ASU. Every session benefits from knowledge that is current, research-backed, and continuously evolving.
Intentionally small class sizes and fully individualized private programs built from postural analysis. The level of attention at D2M is unmatched in the East Valley.
D2M Pilates is built on the STOTT PILATES® method — a contemporary, evidence-based evolution of the original system pioneered by Joseph Pilates, refined through decades of modern exercise science and clinical rehabilitation research. Widely regarded as the world's most rigorous Pilates methodology, STOTT PILATES® is the foundation upon which every D2M program is designed, from post-surgical recovery to elite athletic conditioning.
Meet the founder
Her story
Devi Rieker's path to founding Design 2 Move Pilates spans nearly two decades, two continents, and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to reclaim your body. Born in Indonesia and active from childhood — dancing, swimming, competing in Taekwondo, and cheering — she experienced firsthand how a demanding professional career can quietly erode physical vitality.
That turning point led her to leave the corporate world in 2006 and dedicate herself entirely to movement, health, and the study of the human body. She pursued full STOTT PILATES® certification and co-founded a Pilates studio in Jakarta before relocating to Chandler, Arizona in 2017.
"What drives me is not the exercise itself — it is the look on a client's face the moment their body does something they believed it no longer could."
Since establishing D2M, Devi has added advanced certifications in post-rehabilitation, athletic conditioning, fascial movement, and barre — and continues to grow through Kinesiology studies at ASU. Her clients range from post-surgical recovery patients rebuilding foundational movement to competitive triathletes refining performance and preventing injury.
Design 2 Move Pilates is not a gym. It is a studio built on science, precision, and the unshakeable belief that your body has more potential than you know.

Rooted in anatomy and biomechanics. Everything we do is grounded in current exercise science and continuously updated as our education evolves.
