To preface, I'm disciplined…read morein the beat-the-heck-out-of-your-body arts, you know, pushups and situps and lifting and punching, alongside a little stretching here and there, for balance. As a general rule, I like to sweat. I'm of the midwestern German/Jewish/British bloodline so my veins are pretty heated, thus when I get moving, I'm a faucet, it's disgusting, honestly. If you're anywhere near my proximity when I'm dripping, stay away. I'm like a garden hose under thunderous pressure, hurling my droplets upon unsuspecting passers by. I should also preface this with the admission that I enjoyed an introduction to Pilates from a friend/associate/trainer who offered to show me the ropes, springs and stands of the art free of charge. I didn't take a class and although the personal training session wasn't leveraged on an agreement to review the venue, I can't claim this was a genuine appointment with the business. Like many of you, I was genuinely curious about Pilates. Years of television commercials offered virtually no clue into the underworld of this fascinating practice, and once I was there, in a facility equipped with the very best, I totally got it. Pilates is the yin in my aging, overburdened yang. I'm about to turn 40, about to hit that Over the Hill mark, and that means I hurt, mysteriously, in places that never hurt before. As we age, we realize that stretching and activating those muscle groups that we ignored for 40 years suddenly matters. Momentum Studio is an excessively clean, dynamic facility decked out with machines that are built to bend you sideways, upwards and out. The contraptions in this place, man, they're genius inventions of wood and coil, pulley and spoke, the kind of thing your nutty neighbor developed in his garage, and they work wonders. One hour of work in here will realign your spine and reset your clock to Zen. Next visit, I'm investigating Barre. Can't wait.

I am glad that I DO know New Mexico has a studio like Momentum that provides Gyrotonic Expansion System, a Wagyu cattle kind of exercise method in assisting the body to restore, enhance strength and mobility. If Pilates were a Bachelor's degree, Gyrotonics would definitely be a Ph.D.! To be certified, one must have a basic understanding of human body mechanisms and be willing to invest substantial amount of time to study, practice and explore to receive the benefits from the genius invention. Aline and Bryan have been equipped with skills in knowing what can be done to correct and build up the systems of the body so it works according to its original marvelous design. After 4 years of studying Pilates and 2 years learning Gyrotonic exercises here, I am excited to see what my 41-yr young body is capable of, overcoming the effects of ankle fractures and unleveled hip. One hour of Gyrotonic exercise usually flies by because I get to use machines that are truly fascinating, they are my kind of fun toys to play with and grow strong, lean and flexible at the same time.

Plus, I look a lot better in a sundress :) Go to Movement for fun and fulfilling exercise, you won't regret it.

Stretch and sweat (or glisten) and more, through a 50 minutes class with a wonderful group of peeps. Great welcoming energy there too! Love the Instructors too! They are so encouraging despite my inability to do it all the first class. Plenty of reps I couldn't quite complete, but I'll work on that. Be sure to have socks on since there are no bare feet or shoes in the studio. Bring water to hydrate and you can have it close to you in class. They also have water fountains available too. They provide small lockers (adequate for shoes, sunglasses, phone, and small purse or wallet) and you can bring your own lock if you want. The bands, weights, mats, and balls are all provided and used during the class. They even have a bit of merchandise for sale too, so you can strut your Barre fandom. ;-) I'll be back for sure each time I come visit in Albuquerque. I highly recommend!

Lourdes is the most patient, professional, and helpful instructor. Before my first private session,…read morewe discussed the history of my disability, so that she could understand what my goals are as well as my limits. She even worked with my treating physician to secure medical insurance coverage for 30 private sessions! Lourdes goes above and beyond to care for her clients, many of whom she considers to be friends. She has clients that have been with her for 8 and 10 years, and after only 4 months, I understand their loyalty. I knew PT wasn't making me stronger, but I didn't know what I could reasonably expect from Pilates. Lourdes has slowly and steadily helped me build strength and flexibility in a safe, supervised way that doesn't add to my injury. She checks in frequently to make sure I'm okay after a session that was particularly challenging, and she makes me feel so empowered (yep, just like the name of her business) when I can execute a particular exercise or do something that demonstrates progress. I truly appreciate how professional she is - her dedication to continuous learning and trainings that allow her to keep up with new techniques and best practices. Lourdes always wants what is best for her clients. On top of being exceptionally good at what she does, she happens to be one of the loveliest humans. When my 70-year-old mother visited ABQ, Lourdes invited her to join a session and showed such care to make her feel comfortable while getting a good workout. I've never met anyone like Lourdes, and after years of PT, I feel like Pilates is actually improving my quality of life - physically and mentally. I look forward to each session with Lourdes. Her studio is a peaceful place to exercise, and her prices are more than fair. We are lucky to have her in this community, and I'm lucky to have discovered a lifelong hobby that builds me up and allows me to spend time with someone as kind-hearted as Lourdes.

From day one, the energy is contagious, the people are welcoming, and there's a genuine community feel that makes you want to keep coming back. No matter your fitness level, you'll be treated with respect, encouragement, and a solid plan to get you where you want to be. This isn't just a gym--it's a place where real transformations happen. I've been part of the Shred program, working with my trainer CJ, and let me tell you--CJ does not let me phone it in! Every workout is designed to challenge me, push my limits, and get real results. Thanks to CJ's relentless focus on form, accountability, and keeping me motivated, I've lost weight, gained muscle mass, and built a confidence I didn't have before. It's tough, it's intense, but it's exactly what I needed to break through my plateaus. If you're ready to stop making excuses and start seeing results, Evolv Strong is the place to be. Between the expert trainers, like CJ, and programs like Shred that deliver real progress, you'll find a community that lifts you up and pushes you forward. I can't recommend Evolv Strong enough for anyone serious about changing their life for the better.

My only gripe with this particular location is that the morning classes can feel like a geriatric high school - very cliquish - and if you aren't part of the social club, you are overlooked. I've had women try to stake claim over certain reformers and act territorial if you happen to take "their" reformer. Overall, it's been helpful though for my joint pain, so I continue to forge on and try to put the blinders on and relax for the quick 50 minute classes.
