My friend invited me to brunch at Midtown Athletic Club (they are a member). The public can't just…read morewalk in, there are gates in the lobby and I had to scan a code (and fill out my info) before entering. I visited Midtown before as a prospective member so I know that guests can only enter a limited number of times. We went upstairs past the cardio machines (they are plentiful) and the weight area to the cafe. There are tables and booths that overlook the outdoor pool area (closed for season). It wasn't a large brunch but we had some made-to-order omelets, bacon/sausage and fruit. There was also some potatoes and pastry. When I sat down to eat I received a text from Midtown about a membership. The brunch was bottomless although one omelet was enough for me. I also had two emails from Midtown when I got home, one a waiver of liability and the other a membership offer. I didn't join as a member on my previous visit and I am not going to join now. I already have a Pilates membership that includes three studios with classes from 6am-8pm. Midtown has a Pilates studio but none of the class times work for me. They also have some reformers in the middle of the cardio area reserved for private lessons. If I have a private lesson I would prefer to be in a secluded area, not in the middle for all to see. The facility has many machines, a boxing area, a cycling studio, a theatre, a spa, a cafe, courts, pool, etc and this is a great place for those who need this. There are families who spend the morning at lessons, classes, workouts, then join up in the cafe. This is great for those who are looking for this but it doesn't fit my needs right now.

However, NOTHING compares to what I have experienced at Essence Pilates Studio. Not only do you workout with highly educated and skilled, professional trainers/instructors - you get a complete total body wellness experience. Inside and out. Your health and wellbeing means everything to your instructor. With that in mind, your health journey begins. In one months time my balance is better, my posture has improved, my muscles are redefined, I am toner, stronger, and down 10lbs. You will get a new found knowledge of how your body can work for you. I wish for you the blessed experience I have at the Essence Pilates Studio. Thank you Marilee you are awesome.

Pilates has helped me improve my overall fitness and reduce muscle pain. I also think my posture has improved. Brittney has worked tirelessly with me on my individual needs and is truly invested in my success. Overall, I highly recommend Essence as a studio where the standard of training their instructors is above the norm and where Marilee (owner and trainer) is focused on excellence in her people.

I found Hardcore Pilates while I was recovering from one of many orthopedIc injuries - I've had…read moremultiple surgeries on my knees, elbow, and shoulder and Kim and Jessica have always been extremely careful to not aggravate my joints. Instead, we work on healing my body from the core outward. Their knowledge of body mechanics is simply mind-blowing, and they can achieve major pain relief with only the tiniest adjustments to your movement and form. The personal attention you receive ensures the very best, safest and most effective results for your body and overall health. I'm stronger now than I have ever been. My posture has improved by leaps and bounds, I am virtually pain free, and have actually regained an inch of lost height! The instructors are so remarkably kind, caring and committed to their clients' well-being that it is and absolute joy to go to class. Finding Hardcore Pilates was hands-down the best thing I've ever done for my health. I know I'm treating my body to the best anti-aging regimen there is, and having a hell of a lot of fun while doing it!

I gave them a call and started working out with them. I work out with Katie, but have also had Bill, the owner, when Katie wasn't available. I'm so happy I found them! They take Covid seriously. Everyone washed their hands before and after a workout; masks required; no more than two clients allowed at a time. They do "cadence counting" for each exercise... and boy do my muscles get a thorough workout each and every session. They recently bought some new machines from the place that was closing. So I like their new set up and find each machine effective. Great staff, great facility, great workout...

This business is a personal training facility for the Super Slow strength training practice…read more As far as the facility is concerned, it's nothing fancy and pretty and all that jazz, which is how it should be. Machines are all in good working condition and get the job done. The machines are also situated in a manner so that you are not concerned with those who may be around you. In front of you is a wall with a focus point, not another person for you to critiques or check out. The trainers seem to know their shit and get it done while working with you to cater to your style of training and push you to your personal abilities. If you have an injury keeping you out of the gym or are interested in the method of strength training, head over there and check them out. This review is strictly towards the facility and staff. NOT the training style or comparison of other super slow facilities.
