I found Athena in 2017. By sheer luck, I happened to find the most wonderful, perfect humans and…read moretrainers there. Let me tell you my story. They (Megan -- and now Meghan, too) have loved me and trained my unruly, fat, deconditioned, broken, unique, just-as-it-is body and taught me to use it and taught me just how strong and resilient it is. I had NO idea what I was doing when I found them. I learned everything from scratch. They taught me that exercise shouldn't HURT. They trained me (and others) through the Pandemic and remotely while I was in DC for two years -- in a 400 sq ft apartment where Megan couldn't see me half the time. Then I came back to Carlisle with Long COVID. And my even MORE unruly, rebellious body. They figured out Post-exertional malaise (PEM) and chronic fatigue with me (and yes, that's very, very real). We have worked through locked up joints and hypermobile joints. And POTS. Oh, a car crash and a couple concussions And we figured out how to train a new body -- literally. Everything was different. We fucked up A LOT -- and experimented together. I spent a lot of time on the floor. There were a lot of tears. And a lot of swear words. And some really silly moments, and some really stupid ones. And there was that treadmill disaster. But there have been an awful lot of victories, too. I can sometimes get things off of shelves. I went kayaking a few weeks ago. I can walk about half a mile without stopping if it's not too hot outside. (I used to walk 5 or 6 for fun.) I am lifting serious weights again. My cardio stamina on a stationary bike is so vastly improved from a couple years ago I feel like a different person (although I still have a looong road ahead on balance and walking). I can almost lift my arms above my head. These are huge wins. And it's because when trainers are good, they are very, very good. And the Meg(h)and are the best there are. They know when to push and when to back off. They know how to challenge and inspire. They celebrate wins and hold space for fear and sadness. And they help us create community as we learn to live in and live our bodies. It's pretty freaking spectacular.

Even in group class settings, Megan takes time to focus on form and emphasizes the importance of listening to your own body. When I'm training there I feel supported and confident.

The front desk team has always been friendly, patient, and really helpful. Before I became a member, they took the time to answer all my questions and never made me feel pressured. I even asked about pay-as-you-go options, and they were totally flexible about it. They also helped me set up my account and walked me through the different membership benefits. The classes themselves are great. I love how easy it is to sign up for whatever day and time works for you, it's very convenient. It's also nice that you can try different instructors depending on your level or the type of workout you're in the mood for. Mackenzie, Sarah, Tyler, and Brittany are all amazing. They each bring a great attitude and really motivate you to push yourself. I've also noticed that the classes have gotten better over time, routines have changed and they're more intense now, in a good way. You can definitely feel your muscles working after every session.

Brand new to the area. This will soon become the premier pilates/barre location in Central PA. The…read morestudio is beautiful with space for reformer classes, a separate room for privates, and a third room for barre. The barre room also has fuse ladders for those looking to crank up their workouts. The teachers are focused on making sure their clients get the most out of their time at Sculpt. As form is critical to a successful pilates class, Cari and Jessi make sure each student is performing the exercises correctly and they are quickly able to modify exercises should that be necessary. I personally haven't been to a more aesthetically pleasing and welcoming studio (anywhere). The multiple rooms allow for simultaneous classes without instructors having to yell over each other, or music. If you live in the Harrisburg area, you will be happy to have another studio to perform pilates in. Check it out, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

You can tell she has devoted her life to movement and understands from a practioner point of view. She creates challenging classes that are enjoyable and fun. She is magic! --Stephanie is also excellent--she is also a practioner and a bit of a wonder woman, to be honest. She has great intro classes. -- I have taken classes with a lot of other teachers who are excellent. Every one of them is mindful and focused. Pro 2: Small business, local, woman owned. I really appreciate Allison Zang who is the owner. She is human and allows me to be human, in that she considers my reasons if I miss a class (I don't often!) and has a great short dialogue to support me if I was not feeling well or if something came up. I think she is a great business woman. Pro 3: The community is great. So many different people from different physical (meaning body types, age) backgrounds. Many are loyal and repeat clients. That says a lot. I really enjoy the focus on ourselves yet there is a bit of bonding over time that makes it a healthy and enjoyable social climate.
