I was a complete beginner at Pilates and ALL of the instructors have been so kind and helpful in helping me improve my form. In 2 months I have already noticed I’m stronger than before.
I’ve had a great experience at this fitness studio! I attend Pilates Reformer, mat Pilates, yoga, barre, and facial refresh classes, and I’ve loved them all.
I absolutely loved the Pilates and barre classes. All of the instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and brought great energy to each session.
I've been coming here for a few years now, specifically for the Pilates classes. I started as a complete beginner on the mat and gradually worked my way up to the reformer classes.
I just finished my first Palates class after a year of physical therapy trying to correct chronic back pain and learning to live with Hypermobility.
Great class! Incredibly accessible to people who have never done it before & the instructor was super nice and welcoming.
