I am so grateful for Endurance! I had walked by the studio for several years and, when looking in the window, was intimidated by the reformer machines, to be honest. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with breast cancer and needed a different kind of workout and a coach to help me through that I decided to try Endurance. I am soooo glad that I tried! First of all, Julie is amazing. She is highly educated in anatomy and physiology as it pertains to movement and she is an excellent communicator. Being new to Pilates, she really helped me do the movements correctly which is key in Pilates. It's easy to "cheat" but cheating doesn't get you results. Secondly, I no longer feel intimidated by the reformer. Haha. Julie made sure that I felt welcomed and comfortable from the start. Even when I was going through chemotherapy and radiation, bald, overweight, edematous, and exhausted, she made me feel welcomed. She made me feel cared-for. She tailored my workout by how I was feeling and addressed issues right on the spot, like if I noted pain in one area or another. There were so many changes going on in my body that I couldn't keep up with and Julie helped me recognize them and helped me come up with solutions. For example, she recognized certain areas of my body that needed more stretching which probably became tight from spending so much time on the couch after chemo. Now that I have finished chemo and radiation, we are working on building back up my core strength. So grateful she is my coach to encourage me through an ab work out! I have not taken a class with any of the other instructors but I understand they are highly qualified and amazing too. And from watching the end of a class, here and there, waiting for my session to begin, they are amazing! To sum it up: Don't hesitate to try! I am so glad that I did. read more

Love the instructors, love the facilities !! Love how I feel after the sessions!! Julia is fabulous & great at adjusting your body to where it should be!! read more

Welcoming and professional instructor. She made the class accessible and gave hands on assists and was encouraging. Thanks Emily!

I wish there were a 6th star to give. Class this morning with Emily was excellent - lots of hands on modifications and personalized instruction. The owner, Julie, was incredibly responsive and helpful with a billing question while I was booking the class. Highly recommend! read more

This facility is clean, the instructors are very knowledgeable, professional and just all around fabulous to work with!!

I decided to invest in private pilates classes at Endurance during my pregnancy, and it has truly been the best decision ever. My instructor Julia is patient but also challenging without ever pushing my limits too much. Every class is slightly different which keeps it fun and interesting. Going to Endurance Pilates each week has helped me feel healthy and active throughout my pregnancy - I haven't even had any back pain at 37 weeks! I look forward to continuing classes post-pregnancy as well. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a challenging, low-impact workout! read more

I have taken two classes here and loved one and hated the other. I took Barre Boston basics with Julie and thought it was amazing! The workout was definitely not in my comfort zone and we did movements I was not familiar with, but man did I sweat. The class was extremely challenging but in a good way. there were only about 4 other people in my class and so it was hands on and intimate which was good. Highly recommend! The second class I took was a Pilates mat class with a male teacher. The class itself was very strange and not challenging at all. I felt like I had wasted my time going. The instructor was extremely nice, but the class definitely wasn't worth my time. read more

I've been going to Endurance Pilates since 2016 to work on my core, alignment & flexibility. I tell my friends and family how Endurance Pilates has changed my life. The teachers/instructors are top notch, welcoming and professional. I've had private sessions with both Julie and Lisa and they've been absolutely fantastic - both for my health and for fun conversations. I've done private sessions to quickly see improvements in my core muscles. If privates are not for you, their group classes are top notch as well. I've done a fair amount of research on Pilates and feel strongly that you have to find the right Pilates instructor who understands the human body well, doesn't take shortcuts, makes sure you get what your body needs & pushes you as much as your body can handle. Endurance teachers are the best and I highly encourage you to look no further for your Boston Pilates needs! Thank you Julie & Lisa! Lastly, I'll have to mention that Julie Erickson is an inspiring individual who will always be working harder than any client/student would. Her injury recovery journey has been nothing short of a miracle that makes me tear up from time to time. Thanks for being an awesome inspiration! read more

Experienced and dedicated instructors who bring lots of positive energy to the studio. It's a great whole-body work out. The time always goes by in a flash! read more

Julie is a amazing teacher She made me feel very comfortable And Took her time with me this was the first time I did Pilates , I will definitely becoming back read more

I tried Endurance as part of ClassPass, and took a barre class. It seems to me that they thought, "Pilates isn't quite as hip as it used to be, and barre is hip, so we should run some barre classes." The workout isn't nearly as good as somewhere like Boston Body, PureBarre, or Exhale. PROS: - Lots of individual attention. - Small class size. - Convenient location to downtown/South End/Back Bay. CONS: - The room where she does barre is TINY. - Weird class strategy involves running from your mat to the barre for a 6-step burst of cardio. And in that tiny room, you just end up bumping into each other. - Workout was not challenging - I BARELY burned 200 calories in a 45-minute class. Julie gets amazing reviews for her pilates classes, so if you want to try out Endurance, maybe go to one of those. This barre just wasn't doin' it for me. read more

Julie is so fabulous!! So attuned & attentive to each individual!! The work is hard but results are great!!

In almost half a century of life, I have rarely practiced and never enjoyed formal exercise, so I was in shock this morning when the alarm went off at 6:30am and I did not mind getting up to go to Pilates class. Note that it is January and the alternative was one more hour of sleep. I started classes at Endurance about five months ago, when osteoporosis, the first aches and pains of aging, and my doctor convinced me I had to get serious about taking care of my body. I decided to try Pilates at Endurance because it was described it a small studio with individual attention, and there were very positive reviews from people with health issues and injuries. From the first enquiry, Julie the owner, was very helpful and put my mind at ease. I have had regular private classes with Lisa and she has been great in every way. Lisa is very knowledgeable and I feel perfectly safe in her hands, she is also excellent explaining positions and moves to a beginner like me, and she pushes enough so that there is always challenge and progress, but not so much as to overwhelm. I have also taken reformer classes (with Lisa and Julie) and, although I cannot compare with other studios, I have really liked them as well. Both Julie and Lisa are engaging, motivating and, because groups are limited to four people, they can pay attention to everyone and give great individual feedback. It is also worth mentioning that, as an older, inexperienced and not exactly long and lean person, I was concerned that I would feel out of place or self-conscious, but my experience has been exactly the opposite. There is a body and health positivity that I really appreciate, and, in my experience with Julie and Lisa, genuine warmth and the sense that they are really invested in helping you achieve your objectives and be well. read more

My friend Nicole introduced me to endurance, and I've been coming once a week for reformer classes ever since. I look forward to it every weekend, it's like that special treat. I attend Pure Barre class twice a week, but I admit PB is nowhere near as welcoming and friendly as Endurance. You'll see all sorts of people at end., and they're all welcomed warmly. Just lots of good vibes. read more

Good varied virtual zoom workout with clear directions and options for many moves to make it work for everyone! Class was challenging and went by super fast! Julie was terrific! read more

I absolutely loved my class with Julie ..she's professional, patient and personalizes each session to my particular needs. I can't wait for my next session!! read more

I came here this morning for the Pilates Basic Classical Mat class. Having only been to a few pilates classes before (at North End Yoga), I learned all kinds of new exercises. With Danielle at the helm, this class was an incredible workout. She makes use of not just a ring, but a wooden dowel and two different sized balls. The equipment keeps things interesting and challenging, adding a balancing act or a body positioning guide into several of the exercises. I walked away feeling a little sore and very accomplished! On a logistical note, they have you sign an electronic waiver before your first class, and when you arrive, you can check yourself in at a tablet by the door. The pilates classes are in a room downstairs that fits about 8-10 people, and they have mats available for everyone. read more

I have been a student at Endurance for about a year and a half now. I can't even begin to express how much I LOVE this studio. I strive to attend classes at least 3x a week. Pilates is what originally drew me in (which is now a passion of mine) but recently I have been taking a lot of their barre classes. Let me tell you... What a workout! These classes are very challenging but in a good way because you leave the studio feeling amazing and accomplished. (Be prepared to warm up by doing at least 50 push ups). Every instructor is fabulous- very attentive and extremely knowledgable. Class size is small, which is wonderful because you really receive that extra attention so you can perfect your form. Barre has seriously helped me tone, strengthen, and improve my flexibility over the past few months. I have tight hamstrings and it's amazing to notice that I can now do moves in class that used to feel impossible. Don't be intimidated when I say it is very challenging- it is fun and the instructors are upbeat and there to help you do your best. I feel very fortunate to be a student at Endurance. They will push you hard, but the results are great. When I am out of town for work, I try to find nearby pilates/barre studios. Thanks to Endurance, I feel ahead of the game at other studios! If a Barre class at Endurance can't tone your body, I'm not sure what else will!!! I Highly recommend barre, pilates, and yoga at Endurance! read more

The best pilates studio in all of Boston. I've been going here for 4 months and the individual attention you receive from the instructors helps tremendously! read more

After much research I chose Endurance when I decided to start Pilates three years ago and I followed the studio from Arlington to Boston. I work privately with Julie and take an occasional barre class. At the two year mark I had a major and very traumatic health crisis. Throughout my months of recovery Julie stayed in close touch and offered her help and support. When I was ready to exercise again, Julie made room for me in her busy weekly schedule and patiently, slowly and sensitively coached me back to full strength and confident well-being. Julie is personally committed to the experience of every student and customizes instruction accordingly. At Endurance you will be challenged beyond where you thought you could go... And amazed at what you find you can do. I am in the best shape of my life thanks to Julie and her talented staff. Give Endurance a try, it's a one-of-a-kind place. read more

I have trained with Julie for many years and have followed her from Littleton, to Arlington, and now to Boston. She is an incredibly gifted instructor who gets the best out of every student whether in a private or a class. She is able to motivate and encourage her students while still setting the highest standards - which is why her students are so loyal and see fantastic results. She is incredibly knowledgeable about classical pilates and creative in the workouts she designs. Most importantly, though, is that she is always professional, ethical, and committed to her clients. I highly recommend Julie to anyone that wants to work hard and is serious about improving his or her health and fitness. read more

I was a total newbie when I walked into this studio. I not only got the single best work out I have ever had, I was also able to walk out with my head held high. There wasn't even a hint of shame for being so out of shape. I cannot express how awesome this place is. The only thing I am sad about is that I can only give it 5 stars. Highly, highly recommended. read more

I could not be more thankful for this studio, and Julie! She is an amazing teacher that possesses the knowledge and skills not only to make a new student feel comfortable and welcome, but also the knowledge to rehabilitate a student who has undergone two very serious spinal surgeries. Quite frankly, Julie and Pilates have been pivotal not only in my recovery, but also getting back into shape, as well as picking someone up when they are down! I wish it was possible to give 10 stars! Thank you Julie! read more

I'm new to barre and have taken two intro to barre classes with Julie at her new studio in the South End. Both times I have been totally blown away. The classes have been challenging but amazing- Julie gives great individual attention to her students and is obviously passionate about what she does. The studio space is comfortable and unintimidating. I look forward to taking more of her classes with my classpass membership and maxing out my 3 class limit every month. read more

I never write reviews, but this business consistently goes above and beyond. I have been taking group and private classes at this studio for years, and I am so please with my results. Both group and private classes will challenge you both physically and mentally to help you achieve the results you're looking for. All the instructors are incredibly kind and supportive. I also love how clean the keep the studio and all the equipment. read more

I hesitantly bought a Gilt deal here in an effort to try out Pilates. I ended up falling in love with the PAIN class offered here on Monday nights. PAIN is a hybrid class that incorporates pilates, TRX, circuit training and tabata (and more). Even though I've been going since the end of August, it's still challenging. I feel like I learn a bit more each week. Since the class size is small, Julie will often give one-on-one feedback that is so often missing from many group class experiences I've had. I like knowing when I should correct my form, and more importantly HOW I can correct myself. Additionally, Julie is a very kind person. You can tell that she cares about the people who visit her studio, and aims to get everyone the best possible outcome. read more

I have taken many classes at Endurance, all of which have been amazing and challenging. Julia Stetson in particular is a phenomenal teacher and I cannot recommend her enough! Her knowledge and expertise are outstanding. She is invested in making sure that you have a solid workout and that you enjoy yourself at the same time. Not only is she extremely kind and patient, she goes out of her way to demonstrate postures and explain techniques (while keeping the rest of the class focused and on track) in a way that makes you grow in your Pilates practice every single class. read more

Took the Barre Boston Brunch class with Jocelyn on Sunday. It was challenging but had a great time. I'm new to pilates and barre but was able to keep up with the help of Joslyn. She was able to keep the class going at a good pace to keep the heart rate elevated and able to work up a sweat, so that we could indulge in brunch afterwards and not feel to guilty. ; ) Great class! read more

Visited Endurance yesterday for the first time. The place was cozy and clean. Lisa and everyone were very welcoming when I walked in and showed me how things work. I took the endurance pilates basic classical mat class and really enjoyed the instruction, assistance with postures and tempo. The time flew by. read more

Went to my 4th class pass class at Julie's studio early on a very snowy Saturday morning. There were only 2 of us registered, and I think it says a lot about her commitment that she didn't cancel the class. We did an intro to barre class and got a lot of individualized attention. She was positive, upbeat, and made sure our form was perfect throughout the class. For someone beginning barre, this was invaluable and the reason why I will feel comfortable going back to her class and other barre classes. As a runner, I'm now convinced that this is what I need to strengthen my core, glutes, and all the other muscles I don't pay any attention to while I'm out running. read more

Everyone here is fantastic! I first did a free session of pilates in the park with Joscelyn, which was a lot of fun. This is how I first heard about Endurance. Joscelyn gave us a gift certificate for two free weeks at the studio at the end of our session. I then called the studio and spoke with Julie (who I believe is the owner) to activate my gift certificate - she was super helpful and even gave me a few extra classes! I went in the next morning and had a barre session with Laura. I was the only one in the class, as apparently everyone else usually goes away for holiday weekends. And she was fantastic - she pushed me in a very encouraging way and I didn't feel awkward and she didn't make me feel bad for me being the only one there. For going only once so far, I am very happy with everyone I've talked to at this studio! I only wish I lived closer! read more

I attended the "caregiver Pilates" class with my (crawling) 11 month old... it was fabulous! I got the best work out possible with the help of the instructor... as she chased and played with my son. In an ideal world, it would be great to have other mobile babies in class so he could play with them instead. However, Endurance obviously can't control that! We will definitely be back! read more

My friend Megan introduced me to this place. It is very small and I love the attention we receive from the instructor! I've only ever taken class with Joscelyn, and she is absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgable and kicks your butt in the best way possible. The owner, Julie, is the sweetest person you will ever meet and hopefully in the future I can take a class with her as well. read more

So I have to start this review off by saying that Julie is one of the most kind, heart-felt and genuine people I've met. I started going to Endurance through classpass and became acquainted w Julie because she's so friendly and charismatic towards everyone in her studio. Over that time I had suffered a bad concussion and was on a tough path to recovery. Julie noticed that the calming atmosphere of the studio, the personal attention and the physical components of Pilates were helping my healing process and offered me an unbelievably generous gift of membership to her studio. Of course in no way did she have to do any of this but I believe she's the type of person who really cares about helping others and wants to see people succeed. These qualities carry over to the entire studio. If you attend one of her classes it's obvious how knowledgeable she is and how passionate she is about Pilates and helping people (and her staff are also great too). I've been to plenty of studios (thanks to classpass) where the classes are overcrowded and the instructors seem annoyed to be there. Endurance is extremely hands-on and since classes have only a handful of people in them, they are intimate and the teachers actually pay attention to and help you! Another thing I love about Endurance is how positive and encouraging the teachers are. They definitely push you, but don't make you feel stupid or embarrassed for not being able to do every position or move. I recommend this place to anyone looking to get in to Pilates or who's already a Pilates lover! read more

Julie is an extremely knowledgeable and skillful trainer. She also creates a nonthreatening environment and provides excellent feedback to promote body awareness. She is kindhearted and fun. I took her Matt endurance Pilates training at the YMCA in Nashua New Hampshire this weekend. I am a group exercise instructor and I feel that this training and the knowledge that she imparted will equip me to be a better fitness instructor overall no matter what I'm teaching. I highly recommend her trainings and I would imagine her studio is wonderful as well. Packed into a 20 hour training was the most personal training feedback I have ever received. Top-notch quality for an extremely affordable price! read more

I bought a package deal on Gilt for both reformer and mat classes. While I can't complain about the classes I don't like the constant up sell for the more expensive private classes. The studio is tiny and there is no place to go if you happen to get there a few moments early. The teachers are ok, but it is a generally cold atmosphere, except for Luis. I was never greeted, welcomed back or received a goodbye when I left. There is a definite clique atmosphere. I've been to other studios and received similar training and without the attitude. I have several classes remaining, but don't think I will return. read more

Best studio ever! Tons of great classes, less expensive than other Pilates studios, and there's even a brunch class on Sundays. Students are given a rate of only $69/month for unlimited classes which is fantastic. I myself have been on the student membership for the entirety of my college career and it's definitely been a great and cost effective way to keep those college pounds off (still eating the pizza, just earning it). read more

Julie is an outstanding instructor. I was fortunate to have private sessions during my first pregnancy and then session post partum. I am an endurance athlete found the sessions were very challenging for me- which was great. Julie gave particular instruction to strengthen my core and help support my back and growing belly. I was ready for the delivery and more so was set on a quicker recovery path. read more

I went for my first barre & brunch class last Sunday. I have to say I exercised muscles I did not know I had. The class was fun and the instructor had a lot of energy and made the class fun. After a hard worker out we all went for brunch at Stella. That was also a highlight of the day. I would definitely go back! read more

One year ago today I received an injury so severe that I would be left in the ICU for two weeks to endure the worst physical pain I have ever experienced. After getting out of the hospital, I felt betrayed by my own body and discouraged from ever working out again. It brought me to a dark place. Then,by what can only be thought of as sheer fate, I came across a beautiful new studio in my neighborhood called endurance. The next morning when I was walking my dog, I had the pleasure of meeting Julie, my angel in disguise. She took time out of her incredibly busy life to learn all about what had happened to me. She easily could have discouraged me from working out again, but instead she made it her mission to change my views on fitness and help me get my strength back. My recovery has not been easy, but my newly discovered addiction to pilates has done more for my physical and mental health than I could have ever predicted. Through countless (sweaty) hours working one-on-one with Julie and Lisa, I can truly say that I have never felt more proud and connected with my body. Words cannot describe how grateful I am that you believed in me enough to make me believe in myself again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart read more
