All the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful throughout each series of movements. The space is clean, beautiful, and easy to access. I appreciate the small, intimate class sizes, as they allow for more personal attention and guidance. In my opinion, the best part about this studio is the variety of classes available, catering to different levels and experiences. My first class was a prenatal series, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and it made me feel welcomed into the studio community. The best part is the owner she is extremely knowledgeable and personable but most of all informative, always attuned to the individual needs of each class, and is just a wealth of knowledge of her pilates expertise. From Profesional ballet dancers to new moms this class. I've seen an older community of women who were so strong and ushered me in to challenging movements alongside given such encouragement.

My girlfriend and I signed up for a Six-Week Pilates Reformer Duet Session with Eurona via…read moreLivingsocial deal and were pleased with the results. I have prior Pilates experience (barre/reformer/chair/mat) and girlfriend had none, but picked things up quickly. I think Eurona did a really good job of keeping me challenged as well as focused on technique, while giving my gf the cuing she needed to understand the movements. The studio itself is tucked away in an office park off of rt 29. Actually, if you take the hot lanes on 495 (like I did) to get there the rt 29 exit drops you off almost exactly where you need to be. Epiphany Pilates offers a variety of classes; mat (levels 1-3), reformer (privates and duets), yoga and bootybarre. So there is something for everyone. They have a large open studio space for the group classes and then two smaller rooms for privates. I like the studio set up; this way, you don't feel like you are interrupting anyone's session. I enjoyed my time at Epiphany Pilates, I would recommend the private sessions to anyone wanting to learn more about form and technique. I am also interested in going back for some bootybarre. Eurona clearly has a passion for what she does, and her studio is reflection of that.

Booking classes is hard, the routines are random…read moreso you aren't targeting your muscle groups in a systematic way, and it's easy to have bad form without them noticing--which means you're ineffective or going to injure yourself, but the final straw was the poor customer service. If you need to pause your membership for any reason, you must give 14 days advance notice. So if you sprain your ankle, you're paying for half the month anyway. They will also only pause for two weeks max unless you provide them with a dr note. Like you're a child. They charge for no show and for late cancels, even when the county shuts down for snow. They once charged me a no show fee in error. I promptly let them know I was there. They told me they checked surveillance footage and didn't believe me (I'd used the wrong reformer). They seem to think they are a reform school and their clients are teenagers who are trying to cheat them. I'm too old to have this kind of hassle just to exercise haphazardly three days a week at whatever time slot they happen to have available. For my $ and time it would be better to lift weights.

Luann, the owner, radiates calmness and peace and I really enjoy taking her classes. The other instructors are great too. All of the classes are structured in a flexible fashion and the instructors happily suggest variations of the poses based on your specific abilities and physical needs. As a result, there's a pretty wide range of attendees across capability level and age I have attended both Vinyasa flow and stretch and strengthen classes and enjoy the mix of physical challenge, stretching and restoration. I feel very relaxed when I leave the studio and have noticed that my personal mindfulness has increased as a result of attending these classes. You can definitely do a drop in class if you're interested and I believe there still a beginners package to let you to set a variety of classes at a discounted rate. Also check with the front desk and it's registering for an entire series of classes which is cheaper or for a package of classes. And, if you're in the mood for adding to your own personal stash of yoga thing the front lobby has a wide variety of merchandise that is reasonably priced and of high-quality.

I took beginner reformer classes with her during the worst part of the pandemic when she had few students, I think usually 4 for her only in-person beginner class on Saturday mornings. I usually purchased a block of 10 classes.Good for 3 months, although with the pandemic as well as her missing classes she was good about making up classes missed. However in the spring when my son began began playing soccer I couldnt make all the classes. And I guess by now her classes had started to get more full. So when I had a break from soccer I tried to register, called her and found out she would no longer honor the 5 remaining sessions I had paid for, nor the remaining mat classes. She said I could have attended the advanced class she held during the week. I had actually tried one of these classes only to be called out by her during the class, informing the other members that they were getting an easier workout due to my presence. After that I no longer felt comfortable attending this class. Anyway, make sure you either never miss a class or get in writing what the terms for makeup classes are before signing up.

I tried several places and finally stumbled upon Esenyls Pilates through a Groupon. I figured since the deal for reformer classes was great that it would be worth a try. After my first class I knew I was coming back because of the instructor and the small group setting. It was perfect! I love the fact that even in small group settings Freda pays attention to each of her clients and makes sure they are in correct form. Her prices are better than any of the other studios I visited in the area! Pilates is great for the body and it's so important to have a good instructor. That is why I LOVE coming to Esenyl's. I can feel the difference in improvement in my core strength and balance. When I come in after work I come in with the look of stress and major tension, but I leave class feeling like I just had a full body massage. We take the time to stretch in every class and work on troubled spots. There's even a stretching class that's absolutely AMAZING! I say that because my body felt so good at the end of the class and slept like a baby that following night. If you're looking for a really good place for pilates or yoga, Esenyl's is the place to be.

You can tell she has a dance background, and it shows in how well she paces the class and how clear her cueing is. She paid close attention to form throughout, which I always appreciate in a pilates class, and her music selection was great too. Looking forward to catching her class again! The location is also a real plus -- right in the Clarendon-Ballston corridor, equidistant from both the Clarendon and Virginia Square metro stops. And the 4pm Sunday time slot is great: it lets you sleep in on the weekend and still get your workout in. Starting the week having already met an exercise goal really helps me set the right tone going into Monday.

In an effort to check out some of the gyms in the NOVA area, I enrolled in a free trial of Class…read morePass and started taking some of the classes at studios I was always curious about. Over the holidays I tried a hot pilates class with friends, so I started giving a few studios a try. Initially, when I saw Mind the Mat offered a HAWT Pilates for Beginners, I was ESTATIC. However upon further review of the HAWT Pilates class offering, the description said the class wasn't really for beginners. So sadly I opted not to enroll in any classes BUT THEN(!!) MTM had the awesome idea to offer a beginner version and I enrolled immediately (at least I think it's fairly new)! When I arrived at the studio there were multiple classes going on and the "lobby" area was full of classgoers coming and going into various classes. The beginner instructor, Erika, called for all newbies to head over to the studio where class was offered - which was great because there was no front desk staff. Once in the room you were immediately embraced with the muggy temperature that hot classes are known for. I put my items into a free cubby and started setting up. This class was completely full so we were all comfortably close. Erika came around and checked us in as we started setting up so that class could begin on time. The class itself was AMAZING. Although lots of classes sometimes say they are beginner friendly, it can be hard to learn the fundamentals. What I loved about beginner HAWT pilates is it really walked up through the different movements and taught us how to breathe correctly and what it means to scoop your belly. I can say with certainty I was doing it all wrong before! Although the class wasn't the most challenging it was EXCELLENT for beginners and is the perfect introduction to pilates. Erika was very friendly and was able to offer corrections to everyone and ensure you were truly learning. I can't say enough positive things about the class and studio! My only "negatives" are that 1. There is no water for purchase so should you forget a bottle you're out of luck and 2. I wish the beginner's class was offered on more days and times. Nonetheless I highly recommend the studio and have had a blast at the classes I have attended! Thanks Erika and MTM!
