This pilates studio is beautiful, and the employees are all very friendly - the overall feel of the space is welcoming. When I first started going, I was very intimated by the unique pieces of equipment. Soon I was taught how to use them, always with the aid of a very knowledgeable instructor, aiding me and reminding me to use my core muscles. When you go in, be sure to ask Jennifer Reich (the owner) to show you the photo of her with Sting. When he was in Denver for The Police tour, he hired her for a massage. So many women (not me) would have killed to have Sting naked and prone, but she took it in stride. read more

I began taking Pilates years ago back in New York with some of the industry's best. But it wasn't until I found Center Strength here in Denver that I fully understood the potential this form of exercise could have on my body and my mind. The instructors here are absolutely the top of the line. Their unwavering understanding of the human body and anatomy sets them above many teachers I have worked with. I have nursed numerous injuries with their careful instruction and hands on approach to well being. My sessions with Christine and Nadja also transformed my body like nothing else has before. If you want one of the best places to go for Pilates in the country - not just in Denver - then go to Center Strength. They rock! read more

At the center of it all is the strength from within, but sometimes you need a guiding heart and hand to help you locate it... My first contact with Jennifer was a request to see my MRI report, my medical history and list of prescriptions. After reviewing the documents, Jennifer assured me that she could help me. Still apprehensive, I made an appointment to come to her studio and was accessed by Jennifer while she was training her students. The hour and forty five minute examination was so thorough and beyond what any doctor had ever done with me let alone someone from the fitness industry. Right away I felt that I was in the best of hands and without hesitation, I scheduled my Pilates sessions with Jennifer. As the weeks passed and Jennifer and I worked together, she was so protective of me and my body and we worked together to strengthen my core to protect my back, she was able to teach me how to identify and isolate a particular muscle and then control it through her gentle words of guidance and encouragement, but this was not enough for Jennifer. She was curious about the neuropathy in my feet and the effect it has on the quality of my life. We began working and exercising my feet and discussing what my body had been through and what was the current status and its effects. We talked about balance and how my past medical issues have brought me to this place. Jennifer's ability to help me see, feel and isolate each muscle amazed me and one day in particular we were working my toes, which I have not felt in 10 years. Jennifer asked me to press each toe individually into her finger and as I looked to my feet and then away continuing the movements it occurred to me that I was feeling pressure in a way I had not before. At this moment in time, it hit me what was happening and the tears flowed uncontrollably. I certainly was not feeling normal sensation that had been there 10 years earlier, but it was a new and different sensation. For so many years, I have tried to find the cure, to return to what I was, to be "normal". What Jennifer taught me was acceptance of me and my body as it is today and to work with that. It was such a freeing feeling and I find that I am so pleased with my successes with this wonderful body that is full of life and joy to embrace each day. The point of my story is to say that there are times in our life we all want to be cared for with compassion and respect by those who have an expertise needed for our unique circumstances. We want to be treated as an individual with a customized program and not one of the masses to fit into a cookie cutter system. Our health and wellness are precious commodities, I trust Jennifer Reich with mine. read more

Center Strength is remarkable for both Pilates & Yoga. For over 10 years I have strengthened my body with Pilates, but am now exploring Yoga with two very talented, amazing teachers, Stacy and Dominique. The Yoga practice is opening me up both physically and spiritually. With intimate classes and individual attention, I'm making the most of my membership and loving the results! read more

I want to start off by mentioning that the new Broadway studio is beautiful! I can't speak on behalf of pilates, but the yoga at Center Strength is wonderful! I highly recommend any class Stacy Zook is teaching. She individualizes her classes to meet each student's needs; her classes are both fun and spiritual, but she also challenges her students in a safe manner. I highly recommend Center Strength. It is an inclusive space filled with personable, caring people. read more

I love this Pilates studio. They offer mat and reformer classes. Everyone is so nice here, but they still make you hurt. I take the mat classes, they are affordable and never too crowded. You can drop in on most mat classes. read more

love everything about this place--I walked by for YEARS and assumed it would be too expensive, too public, too hard to park and was wrong on all fronts. Nadia will kick your @$$ in the best way and Claire couldn't be better. Jen runs a top-notch outfit here, together they are just what you're looking for, read more

Center Strength is an amazing studio. I started going there last month and have already seen improvements in my posture and body alignment. To date, I have only taken classes with the owner Jennifer Reich. She is a consummate professional, and I am continually wowed by her knowledge & insight. I have witnessed other teachers during their group and private lessons and their students have rave reviews of them as well. The environment is very welcoming. You will receive the attention you need to address your specific needs whether they be injury rehabilitation/ prevention or enhancement of strength and alignment. read more

I have gone several times to Center Strength and have taken Pilates classes. I really enjoyed the instructors (top notch) and the place was clean and ambiance was great too. The class room is small, but that is good as it allows the instructors to see and help out where needed. read more

As a former college tennis player I have dealt with rotator cuff and cervical disc issues for many years. Nothing my orthopedist did gave me much lasting relief. Finally a friend told me I had to give yoga a try. I'll admit I was very pessimistic about whether or not it would help (I'm not a yoga kind of guy I thought) but I figured it was worth a shot. I was wrong. Stacy Zook you are my hero. She immediately made me feel comfortable in a setting that was very foreign to me. I just started this summer but my body feels better than it has in years. I've increased strength and flexibility, but more importantly my body and mind just feel better than it has in ages. Oh and my tennis is at the highest level it's been since I graduated college almost 10 years ago and I feel great before, during, and after matches. Thank you so much for all you've done for me. I never thought I would say this, but I can't wait for my next class. I'm officially hooked. read more

I have been a happy and grateful client at Center Strength for about three years. After a car accident that resulted in a neck injury and concussion, I needed safe and therapeutic exercise. I was fortunate to get matched up initially with Mindi who was very innovative in catering our sessions to help heal my injuries while also helping improve my strength and fitness. She is truly passionate about movement, expansive in her knowledge base and has a keen sense for customizing each workout. On occasion, I've worked out with other instructors and they are also fantastic. Over the years, I've seen why this studio has such a loyal following! read more

I have been attending the flow and yoga therapeutics classes at Center Strength for several years with yoga instructor Stacy Zook and highly recommend the classes. Stacy does a tremendous job of tailoring her classes to her students. Furthermore, the classes are small and Stacy is very good about giving individual instruction to improve your yoga practice. I am an older adult and started back to yoga over a concern about loss of flexibility . The results have dramatic and I continue because the classes are fun as well as challenging. read more
