I did Pilates for the first time ever, and let me tell ya... I dug it. The vibe was everything that…read moreI look for in an exercise class. I didn't feel like I was being called out when I was being corrected. I didn't feel like the movements were too difficult for my skill level (which is more of a beginner, closer to intermediate I'd say), and there were a variety of options for all skill levels so that you didn't feel left out. This class wasn't incredibly serious, but it was more laidback and fun. That is also something I really enjoy because I feel less stressed/anxious. If anything, the smiles and laughter kept me interested and made me feel like I've been going there for ages. If you want to go out and try something new without the feeling of judgement then I highly recommend! Plus you get to work out while having fun! Sounds like a win/win to me. Check out their class schedule and what they offer! Their point system is different from other memberships, and it's pretty cool. So definitely look into how that works!

I started coming to Rivercity Pilates after being diagnosed with arthritis in my back. If you read…read moreup on arthritis you will find that exercise is crucial! I was worried that I was already beyond the point of help and wouldn't be able to handle the workouts. Was I ever wrong! Carey and her instructors are EXCELLENT. They are trained and certified to make modifications when necessary to help you keep the proper form & alignment to protect you from injury. I like the variety of clients at this studio ... male/female, young/old, fit/not so fit ... and the classes easily accommodate experienced and novice side by side. I love the variety of classes and each instructor has his/her own style so you may want to try several classes to find the right fit. The classes are reasonably priced and you can schedule online or with their mobile app ... very convenient! I like to participate in the many studio "challenges" they offer because it helps me stay engaged and there are great prizes! After 4 years, pilates has made such a positive impact on my health that I don't think of it as exercise any more ... it is a lifestyle. I'm hooked! Thanks Rivercity Pilates!

I started at Serenity shortly after retiring from a job where I did a lot of sitting. I had a sore…read moreknee and hip and was hoping to slow down the aging process so I could enjoy retirement. Serenity has done more than I ever expected. I'm in better shape than I was eight years ago with no knee pain or hip pain. I love the classes but I'm also able to enjoy gardening, fly fishing and working with my dogs. Life is good!

I love going to Serenity. I have been a regular client for 4 years. Marcie's expertise in injury…read moreand exercise has been the best solution for me. Before Serenity I had a reoccurring pattern of exercising and getting hurt then being off exercise to recover only to start the cycle again. Marcie understands the human body but more importantly she understands MY human body. She can individualize my workouts based on how I feel each session and she has accurately described my needs to all the staff. I am reassured everyone in the studio is aware of my body's needs. I also do classes at the studio. Mat pilates with Mary has proved to be very effective for core strength. Gentle yoga with John is a very calm wind down from a busy day and a great "date night" activity for couples. I recommend this studio to all of my friends that want to avoid unnecessary injuries, develop strength. In addition to workouts that strengthen and protect each client there is a sense of community and belonging every time I enter the studio.

I finally found time in my schedule to add pure barre on my workout routine. I took the free class…read moreknowing I'd like to try the month and see what happens. I did 8 class pack and I got great definition. I mean it's hard work ladies but worth it. I did unlimited this month I'm loving adding it to my workouts. It's a Fun and clean place. The teachers are great. There is reform which uses bands connected to the wall , classic barre class , and empower personally my favorite. I've been suffering from a injury since October and this has helped keep me active while healing my injury. I usually hate apps for things but theirs is handy and great. I use my Apple Watch and it alerts me to start my activity. It reminds me a hour before class starts. And it has fun challenges.

I went to an intro class here recently & had a wonderful experience. The staff was very helpful &…read moreour instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly & her teaching style was easy to follow along. Our instructor also gave a few variations throughout the class for me because I have a physical limitation due to an old injury. If I didn't work 40+ hours a week, I would have signed up on the spot. Hoping that changes for me soon because I absolutely loved the way Pilates engaged all of my muscles without being boring or overwhelming. It was a fun class which made the time fly by. I didn't take any pics because the studio was full of people but it was beautiful, inviting & very clean. They have many class level options and I'm confident one would never take the same class twice with their wide array of instructors. Highly recommended!

Barre 3 is exactly what I needed to get back into a routine of taking care of myself again! There…read morewas a range of modifications available without judgment. I've worked with several of the instructors now (being a month in) and each one has put their own spin on the routine and able to assist and make suggestions respectfully in real time to help improve my strength and flexibility, I am already noticing results. And although this wasn't my main goal, my last doctors visit said I'm down 5 lbs, so BONUS! I just feel so much better in my own skin and remember how strong and capable I am! Thank you to Maureen and her whole team!

I am all for trying new workouts and when I saw barre3 not far from my house I knew I had to try…read moreit! I partook in one of the free classes they often offer and man I was hooked. I can say that this IC location is top notch. Maureen and her staff are freaking delightful and the workout itself is addictively not like anything else around town. PLUS, parking is a non-issue. But I don't actually have set in stone time to make it to a gym. (The minute I plan on a 5AM workout is the night my son is in my bed because of a bad dream. So when I attempt to stealthily get out, I of course wake him. And I can't just leave the four year old awake at home?! And how rude would I be to wake up anyone else catching z's?!) Ugh. It's a never ending, maddening problem. ANYWAYS, barre3 has an amazing online membership for a great price! The first two weeks are free. But what I like most is that the classes range from 10 to 60 minutes. They include what equipment you need in the description. I found favorite instructors and have taken all of their classes (multiple time)! Barre3 makes me feel good about myself. And the staff at this location does, too. If you haven't found a workout that is for you yet, try stopping in here!

I have had terrible back pain for 4 years after I had back surgery. I got to a point where I…read morefigured nothing would help me. My mom urged me to take one more shot and go to Cedar Vally PT. The physicians work endlessly to help me, I finally have relief that I didn't imagine I would ever have again. They are dedicated and put all their attention into helping you. They offer referrals if they think you need more than just them, they are great listeners, they are so intelligent and think no challenge is too big to grasp. The best part though is that whenever I tell them "I can't do this, it hurts" they don't say "ok don't do it" they said "let's find a way that you can." They have not once told me to limit myself and sit out of things, they show me the right way to reduce pain. Wouldn't trust anyone else, these people are the best!
