She is a wonderful instructor who continually comes up with new ways to do Pilates which makes it more fun for oldsters! Now we are doing the class via Zoom and she makes that work very well also. I could not recommend her more highly for Zooming as well as in person classes.

She explained exactly what I needed to do and why and she has a very mild mannered and friendly personality. I am a weight lifter and over the years created some junky muscle patterns and after just one session with her I felt more balanced and even. I would highly rec. her to anyone out there!

She did an assessment of my beginning fitness level and worked around my weakness. Alyssa was very knowledgeable about general fitness and pilates; She also has expertise in nutrition and supported my efforts to eat more organic vegetables and plant-based foods. If you feel hesitant, pick up the phone right now and give her a call. I believe you will find her to be so gentle and easy-going that you will immediately relax and become curious about it. Most of the movie stars are doing pilates, so I guess we should pay attention to what people with unlimited resources do. Clearly, strengthening muscles and core work is important to our life-long well being.

5 Stars for Alba! I…read moretook Alba's group Pilates class last week and wow -- she is truly something special. Her cueing was so clear and intuitive that I finally felt my feet-to-heel connection in a way I've never experienced before. It completely changed how I moved through the exercises and left me feeling grounded, aligned, and so much more aware of my body. Alba has this calm yet confident presence that makes the whole room feel supported. She pays attention to the little details, gives hands-on guidance when needed, and somehow manages to make a group class feel personalized. I walked out feeling longer, stronger, and genuinely inspired. If you're looking for an instructor who knows her craft and helps you tap into those deeper Pilates connections, go to Alba's class. She's amazing.

After taking a hiatus from Pilates to have my babies I found myself back in action this year and…read morehave never been happier to finally incorporate Pilates back into my fitness routine. Anyone who has had a baby knows that it can do a number on your pelvic floor. Not giving away too much detail, I was in great need of some strengthening in my pelvic floor. I have been religious about my time with Studio Flo because I want to ensure I have a strong foundation, especially as I enter menopause. Every single woman, babies or babies, requires special attention to their pelvic floor once menopause hits. In the last several months I have seen a true difference in my function as my previous symptoms have lessen. This is all thanks to the teachers at Studio Flo who have a deep understanding of the human anatomy and what it takes to strengthen from within. They have spent the time correcting my form and going the extra step to explain and show things when I needed the extra help. I cannot recommend Studio Flo enough. It got me back to feeling like myself again. Thank you for providing a studio filled with teachers who have been trained by the best

The environment itself is nicely laid out and there are plenty of mirrors to check your form. Unlike some hot Pilates/yoga classes, they have an A/C unit in the room to cool it down and give people some air once the workout is coming to an end. Shoutout to Kyla Blaylock, she is an awesome instructor! She always brings the energy and vibes for a hiit-focused hot Pilates class and makes sure to offer modifications for difficult exercises.

So, two months in you have to cancel when you're doing the three month membership. 30 days prior is crazy to me. Shouldn't be that way. Their classes are mediocre at best. I wouldn't recommend. Instructors arrive at the studio minutes before class starts or at the start of the class. For example, if class starts at 5:30, the instructor is arriving at 5;30 and opening the doors for everyone. It sucks that we're all waiting on them to get there. I paid for the 3 month membership and had at least 4 classes canceled in that time. In May alone they canceled 2 classes. Save your money.

When I first started working with Eliana, I complained to her of spaciness/mental fog, neck…read moretension/pain, the way my face had become visibly lopsided, and the cost of frequent chiropractic visits. All of these complaints were the result of two cervical injuries I incurred during my reckless youth - injuries that had been recently aggravated by a case of whiplash. To begin, Eliana guided me through some assessments and gave me very specific exercises to do including some that involved working my left hand. These movements prompted me to remember a TIA (mini-stroke) that I had a year prior and had forgotten to include in my medical history. The main effect of this TIA on my body was an inability to move the fingers of my left hand, so I was very impressed that Eliana was able to identify this weakness through her assessments alone. I've been having sessions with Eliana now for four months. We're on opposite coasts, but I feel very seen and cared for by her via the Zoom platform. She is a very focused, knowledgeable practitioner. Her instructions are clear and her style is relaxed, natural, and delightful. I've been devotedly doing my exercises (except on the weekends when I visit my beloved), and I am beyond pleased to report that I am thinking very clearly. In addition, I am holding my chiropractic adjustments for longer periods of time, experiencing less tension and pain, and most surprising to me - my mouth is much less lopsided! My goal is to regain complete balance again, and I feel confident that we can achieve that. On the basis of these wonderful results, I whole-heartedly recommend Eliana. To conclude, Eliana has helped me improve my quality of attention, the ease with which I move, and my confidence level. Her value is priceless.

I found Eliana through a Google search and I am so thankful that I did. I love to be active, but I…read morecouldn't stand battling knee and back pain as a result of working out anymore. Through her Pilates workouts and her abundance of knowledge on proper movement and body alignment Eliana is helping me strengthen my body and move more mindfully. Each and every session I know I will learn something new, have fun doing it, and leave feeling strengthened and refreshed. I have only participated in private sessions with Eliana, but I have seen her lead small classes which look just as wonderful and I hope to join soon. I highly recommend the one on one sessions because you learn SO much about your own body and all the little quirks unique to YOU. What I have learned from her, I carry with me far beyond the walls of the studio, too - it applies to other workouts (hello, yoga) and daily activities like walking or sitting at my desk. Totally worth it!

A Bright, Energizing Pilates Experience at Helios…read more Helios Evolved Pilates in Little Italy is hands-down one of the most beautiful and energizing studios I've ever stepped into. The unique architectural design of the building makes it stand out right away--modern, airy, and full of intention. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with natural light flooding the space, bathing the studio in a warm, sunny glow that instantly lifts your mood and gets you ready to move. The instructors are amazing--super motivating, knowledgeable, and attentive. Whether you're a regular or new to Pilates, they make sure you're getting the most out of your class, offering helpful form adjustments and encouragement throughout. Plus, the music is always on point--the perfect mix of upbeat and empowering tracks that keep your energy high and your core on fire. They've also thought through all the little details that make the experience smooth: there's a bathroom on-site, and cubbies to safely store your belongings during class. Parking was pretty easy for my 6pm class. There is street parking, pay lots and metered parking. Arrive early to make sure you have enough time to secure a parking spot in case it's busier than usual. Whether you're starting your morning with a sunny sweat session or unwinding after work, Helios delivers a thoughtfully curated experience that feels both challenging and uplifting. Can't wait for my next class!

If you've ever been scared to get back into Pilates because of pain or past injury - read this…read more I stopped doing Pilates because of sciatica. Not just mild discomfort, the kind that you know one wrong move will set you back. I even tried going back once, clearly explained my condition, and still walked out worse... the pain came back the second I sat in my car. So I avoided it for years. Then I met Tiffanee. And everything changed. This is not your typical Pilates class where the instructor is just calling out movements and hoping you keep up. Tiffanee is fully present. She watches you. She adjusts you. She makes sure your posture is exactly where it needs to be - not almost right, but right. You feel seen in her class. Because of that, I was able to rebuild trust with my body again. Beyond the physical part, her energy is something else. She creates a space that makes you actually want to come back. Especially in the past couple of months, having her classes as part of my routine has been grounding, stabilizing, and honestly... something I didnt realize I needed this much. She didnt just teach Pilates - she helped me return to something I thought I had to give up. I can't recommend her enough! :)

Tifanee is the reason why I'm happy to be in my body again. Her teaching has enabled me to really…read moreconnect and understand how to move and celebrate my body. It's no exaggeration when I say that her classes have been life changing. She has the unique ability to apply every cuing style until you are finally able to do the things she wants you to do. If you don't get anatomy she'll use imagery, if you don't get imagery she'll use visuals, and if that doesn't work she will offer physical adjustments that seamlessly get you there. Her calm voice and her continuous engagement cues help me get into a meditative state and I completely lose sense of time, and before I know it class is over. I am SO thankful to have found Tifanee and to have her as my guide for a healthy body, mind, and soul. She is a true gem!
