After just a few months I have seen results in terms of my flexibility, control and strength that I have not seen with any of my other training. I am now able to do things I couldn't even dream of doing even as a teen. The studio is super cute too! With a Moss green wall and a purple velvet couch in the waiting room and a great choice of equipment (reformers, cadillac, barrels, low and high chairs, foot correctors... you name it). And she has online classes available as well, so if you travel (like I do) you have some great options.

I had chronic lower back pain for over a decade due to L4/L5/S1 vertebra issues. After 6 weeks of…read moreworking with Everlea, my pain mostly disappeared. After 12 weeks my pain was gone. She worked with me slowly at first to figure out what muscles were tight or loose, how to balance the imbalances, and then helped me with my strength and flexibility. She worked with me at the pace my back would allow. Now, my core is so much stronger, my whole body is more toned, and I look forward to every class and training session. Everlea is kind but firm, her exercises are varied and challenging, and my body feels so much improved.

FIRST-Time Review of Club Pilates Cardio Sculpting Class-WOW!…read more First of all....I SURVIVED! Second of all..I loved every minute of it!! As a first timer walking into Norfolk's Club Pilates Cardio Sculpt class, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had only done the free intro class last week, so I guess the class was going to do, maybe a little reformer work, some light stretching, nothing too crazy! Baaaby! SPOILER :Mama got a FULL body, heart pumpin', sweat drippin', muscle shakin' workout tuhday!! What surprised me most was how seamless the class blended traditional Pilates movements with cardio burst, like leg circles, jumping lunges, squats, and core-cardio sculpting!!! What?! Yes! My abs, arms, and glutes, are still talking about it. Despite being a newbie, I never felt lost. Pam, the instructor, offered mods and checked on me and others often. Everyone in the room was sweating, smiling and breathing. lol. I'll be back!! Take advantage of a free class. You'll be hooked like I was!

I started going when they first opened up, and had been going there for about a year before I…read moredecided to cancel my membership. The facility itself is very clean, the instructors were pretty good (shannon was my fave!), but as the studio grew in popularity classes became impossible to come by unless you scheduled them a month in advance. I ended up wasting credits due to not being able to find classes that fit my schedule. I also never was able to progress past a level 1 class even after going to 3 or more classes a week for a year. I had previously done traditional mat Pilates in my 20's and had faster growth with that than with reformer Pilates. I hope they can either open another studio in Norfolk or expand the current studio to accommodate all their clients. More weekend classes and evening classes would work really well for those with traditional job schedules.

I have been doing the Booty Barre twice a week for a month now. I can definitely see and feel a…read moredifference! I am starting to slim down but I feel stronger and more graceful at the same time. For the first time of my life I can see biceps in my arms!! (Sad, but true) All the instructors are upbeat, friendly, encouraging, and helpful when it comes to positioning the body correctly. The ONLY reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the studio the class is in does not accommodate tall people very well. While I know the ceiling cannot be raised so my hands don't touch it, the barre is a bit low and makes some exercises feel awkward.

The instructor gave me a brief synopsis on how the reformer worked and let me know if needed any modifications to let her know. I actually didn't.
