She was VERY…read morechallenging which can be a good thing, but because it was my first time to the studio (I told her), I expected a little guidance. She gave guidance to the guy in the class and one of the girls, but none to me. She asked me afterwards how I liked the class, and I was VERY honest with my response which I can tell she wasn't too happy about. I gave it some time and decided to give it another shot except this time with a different instructor. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! I was so much happier with this instructor. I liked it that much, I came back again and tried out another different instructor but this time, I didn't need any guidance because by the 3rd time here, I was familiar with the class routine. The class is challenging depending on the instructor. It REALLY makes a big difference who's teaching the class especially if you are a newbie to the studio. Studio is nice and clean. There's an area where you can place your stuff. The bathroom is nice and there are some amenities provided for women which is great. Plenty of free parking in a shared lot, but it can get pretty busy sometimes. There is street parking available which is also free.

Not my absolute favorite studio but still pretty gud ! I take Jennie's class on Wednesday mornings…read moreand she is one of the more challenging instructors ( I luv me a challenge). Depending on which instructor you take, they play good music. I love taking Jennie's class because her music is more hype in the mornings -- ESP when ya girl needs to wake up at 6AM in the morning ueheheh Location is located in a quiet area + parking is super easy to find :)

Then she waited 10-20 seconds before saying "we are closing for the night and I need to lock this restroom so hurry up" no I'm sorry for almost walking in on you or anything.

She is attentive and kind, with a clear understanding of both my limitations as well my potential, and she helped me immensely. I developed confidence, both in my ability to push past my comfort zone, as well how I felt about myself and my body. I was amazed at how my body developed, both in strength and flexibility. I looked forward to every session, Mel's warm, lovely energy was consistent and nurturing. She is simply put, a delightful human. I would highly recommend her and her studio to anyone looking to up their self care.

Sometimes in life, you find yourself involved in something bigger than you realize. That's how I…read morefeel about Perfectly Fit. I was originally introduced to the studio in 1999 due to chronic knee issues. After a few years of dedication to my Pilates regiment, I regained a strength I thought I'd lost forever. With a desire to learn more, I entered Perfectly Fit's Teacher Training Certification Program, and became an instructor. From 2002-2018, I had the privilege of working at Perfectly Fit with Melissa Quezada, the dedicated and professional studio owner. What a pleasure it was to show up to work every day, teach alongside talented staff, instruct wonderful and loving clients, and give back some Pilates knowledge that had been shared with me over many years. I am now retired and have come full circle as a returning client at the studio. Perfectly Fit is part family, part fun, part functional to my well-being. Whether you are new to Pilates or a seasoned "pro", this studio is a gift to the self that will pay a lifetime's worth of dividends!

Top tier in my book. The neighborhood is super cute, parking is easy, and the facility is clean. So what's not to like? I'm just not a fan of the Montrose studio over their other locations. The room gets so hot and we're not even in the dead of summer yet. I'm not sure if A/C is limited or what's going on with the ventilation. Also, the layout of the space is narrow but long. Machines are spread out with enough space in between each other, but they're basically stacked vertically (one behind another for a few rows). It does seem to be the most space-conscious arrangement for what they are working with, but it's hard to follow if you're all the way in the back and the instructor is demo'ing a new move or if the instructor is newer or not superbly clear throughout class. If this studio location is close to you, do NOT skip on Motivate! Bring grip socks (if you don't want to buy them there) and be on time. If you're early, check out the boutiques and mom-in-pops along Honolulu Avenue. Choose a machine in or near the front unless you're a regular.

I wish the class was 45 to 60 minutes!! I noticed that they use a lot of different types of equipment which always makes a class interesting and challenging.

You can find free parking on the street or nearby lot. I bought their 5-class intro offer and I got to try out classes taught by different instructors and different levels. Their staff and instructors are very nice. The studio is very cosy and warm. It is spacious and has natural light. I also like that they have three levels to choose from: beginners (1), intermediate (1.5) and advanced (2), where I found most other pilates studios only have beginners and advanced. There's also a head spa and a few cafe on the same street, where you can check out after the pilates.

This review is so long overdue. I've been taking classes with Zonnie for over a year now, and I…read morecannot recommend her enough. I started Pilates with Zonnie after a back injury flared up. Working with Zonnie has built up my core and strength overall. I'm more toned and have lost weight. But what I really need to recommend is working with Zonnie herself. She adapts each lesson to how my mind and my body are feeling that day. She has helped me focus or be Zen when I come in frazzled or will accommodate on days when I'm just plain tired. Zonnie's Pilates knowledge is expert, and she is warm, funny and fun to work with. She's the best!

It is astonishing at how much improvement I have had and how quick it was…read more I had some old and newer injuries that affected balance, movement, walking, knee pain, lower back, hip, etc. It wasn't just that Zonnie knew the exercises that were correct, she knew exactly how to do them, what exact position, and what muscles to activate. She is keenly present from moment to moment observing, correcting, and controlling, and is a very competent, pleasant, and calming presence. Then there is a different way of breathing, standing, balancing, and operating one's body in day-to-day life, the training along with the exercises to activate the appropriate muscles. The improvement in my balance is huge, I was frequently tripping or bumping into things - no more. I love to stand up paddleboard, now my balance has improved so that I can paddle on rougher ocean water. I like hiking again - it had become tiring due to injuries. There are side benefits associated with the core exercises and breathing technique that has improved certain common difficulties associated with males of a certain age. Better sleep etc. My knee, lower back and hip pain seem to be in the past as well. It's a lot more fun to do the day-to-day stuff.

What a cute little Pilates reformers studio. A single intro (Pilates Essentials) class is $25. No…read moreobligations, you won't get forced into joining a membership if you don't want to. There are a total of seven reformers, signing up for class is super easy and straight forward on their website. There are several different class packs you can buy if you don't want to commit to a membership. I parked at the Schoolhouse parking garage on Green St. $1 for up to two hours and it was only about a three minute walk to the studio. Quick, safe and convenient. I had Sheri as my instructor. Even though it was an intro class, we had a mixture of people with all different levels. Sheri was awesome to give different options to those who are more advanced or simply those who would like a challenge. If you're thinking of taking your first reformers class, don't be intimated because your instructor will go over each functionality/part of the machine. One of the things I look out for when determining how much I'll enjoy the class is whether or not an instructor will be hands-on in correcting your form. Like yes, please correct me so I will know what's the correct way moving forward. So thank you Sheri for being hands-on. I was back home for the holiday season and I'm glad Yelp helped me discover this studio.
