I had my first pilates experience yesterday. I felt welcomed the moment I walked into the studio by…read moreCarmela. It was pretty easy to pick me out because I was the only guy but at no stage did I feel that way. Quite honestly, I was also so busy with the routine that the time flew by. Carmela took me thru the basics and helped me understand what I needed to do for each exercise. For those who have never tried pilates, please try it. Some of the exercises identified some areas of my body that need some serious work! That being said, she was clear on making sure that my form was correct and when I "cheated" by using other muscles, she corrected me. It was a blast and will be scheduling regular visits.

I only did the introductory class which was 30minute and probably doesn't reflect what the actual one hour classes. There are quite a few types of equipment I'm curious about but will need to sign up for a regular class to give a full review.

When you put a hold on your membership, even if you want a hold for a couple months, you will find a charge on your credit card. It's near impossible to get out of your contract without having to pay another month a membership fees you won't use. The booking system doesn't work properly so you end up paying $200 a month for eight classes, four of which I am able to use a month because the booking system doesn't let me use the class credits, then I miss out of booking the class. The class gets full, you go on the waiting list and never get in the class. Management will not let you use these credits the next month. It's a racket. Also, the five star review is by Athena the manager of Club Pilates.

Great Pilates and Fitness Studio! Jenifer and her team are dedicated to helping you have the best…read moreworkout customized to your needs. Highly recommend! I was surprised to see there wasn't a yelp location for Technique, but couldn't help but add one since this Studio is my favorite on Mercer Island. They offer pilates (group classes and personal training) as well as barre classes. Personally I have tried both types of group classes and have enjoyed a challenging, but fun workout experience. If you are debating I would suggest going for it - they even offer the first class for FREE. All the instructors are great and will customize even the class workouts to what your body can do/needs and the upbeat music and energy really holds you accountable so you aren't slacking (like I do when I try to workout from home and end up taking breaks or sitting down). The studio itself is located in a cute shopping center area with parking spaces in front that are usually available. Parking is free and pretty easy as well. For classes I would recommend checking out their website and booking online to make sure you have a space. Definitely a great place to workout at any starting level of fitness, highly recommend!!! Also, shout out to sheena who is my fav friday workout!

So I took the plunge and got on her books for a massage. Her Queen Anne studio is beautiful, open, airy and has some spectacular Feng Shui going on! She asked me about my problem and painful areas and got to work. She started by using some amazing smelling oils on my neck and shoulders, loosening everything up. Then moved on to the knots in my back that have been building up for years. Maria has a great touch and the deep tissue work felt amazing. She asked if I ever had jaw pain after she hit a tender spot in my neck; which I didn't realize was connected. So she started working on my jaw muscles too. Maria is very talented and fantastic at what she does! She's extremely personable and clearly cares about the wellbeing of her clients. It's an easy choice: I highly recommend her. My jaw has never felt more loose and pain free and my neck and shoulders feel 10x better. Can't wait for my next appointment :)

I'm still pretty new to Pilates -- have been a client for ten months, and the results have been noticeable. I've seen definite improvement in core strength, balance, posture, flexibility and overall body awareness that carries into all the other things I love--running, dancing, hiking, and skiing. I'm stronger, more aligned, and more confident in my body. I can see why people keep at this practice for the long haul -- there's always more to learn! Bellevue Pilates is the real deal. If you're looking for experienced instructors, a classical approach, and meaningful progress in how you move and feel, I highly recommend this studio.

I feel stronger, more energetic, and I have even lost a little weight (miracles do happen, apparently). I've tried classes with all the instructors, and every one of them is fantastic. The workouts are very well balanced and thoughtfully structured - each class combines cardio, strength training, stretching, and static exercises, so your whole body gets attention instead of just one confused muscle group. The time flies by incredibly fast, and I always leave in a much better mood than when I arrived. Highly recommend this studio to anyone who wants effective workouts in a positive and motivating atmosphere.

Yogabliss is my favorite yoga studio on the island. I've really taken a liking to the Yoga Nidra…read moreclasses. It is the perfect class for preparing yourself for a peaceful and restful night of sleep. In my opinion, what separates these yoga Nidra classes from others is the instructor usually brings in multiple heated Bio Mats. These mats have amethyst crystals infused in them and they have several health benefits. I experienced a great nights rest, but research also shows they relieve minor muscle and joint pain along with stress reduction and improved immune system. Needless to say, Yogabliss is a yoga studio where you can find ultimate mind and body wellness.

There is a wide variety of classes so you can easily find one to suite your style. I love that they are family friendly and encourage you to attend a class with your teenager/young adult. They have a variety of workshops and have beginner classes. There is a water fountain to fill your water bottle and they rent yoga mats/towels. The locker room isn't huge, but there are two showers in the women's locker room and lockers inside. You must bring your own locks. Classes at times do fill up so definitely sign up and get there 5 min early or your spot might be given up. I love the heated yoga classes, the yoga body lab is a favorite of mine as well.
