    When I began taking lessons at the Pilates Center of Pittsburgh, my exposure to Pilates had been…read moreminimal, just some workout dvds. This was my first lesson in a formal setting with an expert and it made a huge difference in what I was able to get out of the workout. I studied mostly with Leslie, who is a true expert at precision. Leslie is great at communicating Pilates concepts in several different ways, so that you can connect with an explanation that resonates with you. That said, the other instructors are great too. Leslie is very selective about who she hires, you won't find instructors here that don't know what they are doing. I took a couple of classes with Sally and would highly recommend her as an instructor. She is extremely kind and bubbly, but don't let her fool you - she will work you! At the Pilates Center, it is required for you to go through a series of intro sessions before joining a class. Having done it, I think that this is so smart. The intro sessions are well-priced, they give you one-on-one time with the instructors to focus on your specific needs and really ensure that you are joining a class when you are ready (a great way to prevent injuries). The environment is very casual, calm and relaxed. This isn't one of those snobby or pretentious places...which is a major selling point for me. Don't think you have to be a fit and tiny ballerina to fit in here, there are students of all ages and skill levels. Most of all, I love how Pilates makes me feel strong, open and energized. It's a great way to start your day if you can swing a morning session.

    I have never liked 'working out'. I hate 'gyms' and am not a self motivator when it comes to…read moreworking out. I need to participate in an actual activity like tennis, hiking, running, etc. When I lived in NYC I decided to get serious about my fitness routine and started working with a trainer (Radu Fitness). THAT changed my outlook on 'working out'. I loved my trainer and she kicked by 'behind' 4 days a week. Once we moved to Pittsburgh, I was extremely disappointed with the work out scene ... the gyms (joined The Rivers Club, LA Fitness, JCC, etc.) didn't work for me and the trainer selection was very poor. A mere 4 months ago I stumbled upon The Pilates Center of Pittsburgh. While I continued to be fit through running and outdoor activities, my herniated disc was limiting my enjoyment and frequency. My Neurosurgeon said that I had to develop my core while not straining my back. He suggested that I try Pilates. Not knowing anything about Pilates, I made an appointment with at the Center and met Lesley. I have to admit that at first, it was a little intimidating and a bit complicated and I felt a bit awkward in the movements. Sometimes I thought that I was never going to 'get it'. During those first few weeks I never ONCE felt embarrassed or uncomfortable. With kind and generous trainers I became hooked! I have never had a weight problem .... but as I reached my 40's I was definitely becoming 'soft' all over. Four months later I feel strong and according to my friends, co-workers and husband, look better than ever!!! In addition to all of that good stuff my back feels so much better and my running has greatly improved. Pre-Pilates I would run 3 miles and walk like an old lady for the remainder of the afternoon or be stiff and sore the next morning. Three months into Pilates I decided to take a short run. Low and behold, my Nike Fuel band was telling me that I ran a 5K. I felt awesome ... so awesome that I ran an additional 5K!! If you are looking to zone out on the treadmill .... Pilates is not for you. If you are not serious about changing your body posture and composition...... Pilates is not for you. If you do not enjoy understanding your body and how it really moves ..... Pilates is not for you. If any of the aforementioned sounds intriguing, then give Pilates a try. I highly recommend The Pilates Center of Pittsburgh. Lesley and her wonderful trainers (Allie, Erin, Michelle, Cecile) are bright, focused, kind and skilled. Each has their own unique style but the consistency of the technique is quite impressive. Good luck!!

    I am not one that has been big on gyms or classes. That changed with Clearly Pilates! The…read moreinstructors are amazing - they know their stuff, they challenge you; make you sweat and smile at the same time. The studio is designed for small classes making it easy for modifications based on individual needs. I have been practicing Pilates there for 8 months, on average 2-3 days per week and enjoyed a unique class each time - instructors keep it fresh and interesting. NEVER in my life did I think I would do spinning but because of the instructors and clientele, I am slowly being converted. Highly recommend for those trying Pilates for the first time to those that have been practicing for years!

    Clearly Pilates is a small locally owned studio that offers a ton of classes. No matter what level…read moreyou are beginner or master this studio has it all. Melanie's hips and glutes is my favorite. She really understands where you should be feeling the exercise and has no problem adjusting you if your not doing it correctly. But also modifies moves if you have an injury or just unable to do them. I'm excited to checkout more of their classes in the future.
