I didn't think Pilates would be the right fit for me, but I noticed right away that it made not only a difference in my posture and the way I felt when I left, but it stayed with me throughout the week. My golf game has improved, and the teachers have done an amazing job with a reoccurring knee injury I've had undiagnosed for the past year or so. I am stronger, more flexible, and I pay attention to my posture much more, which helps keep me out of my bad habits and out of discomfort. I've taken classes with many of the teachers and done some private sessions -- I really can't say enough for the studio and the staff. They have a great selection of classes, including equipment classes and mat classes, and you can build up to what they call self-directed workouts. With self-directed you can come into the studio on your own and practice -- kind of like a gym membership. I was actually surprised at how detailed and intelligent Pilates is as an exercise system. The teachers blend an incredible knowledge of anatomy and functionality with so much clarity. They seem inspired and motivated by what they do and it genuinely makes me want to keep doing Pilates. I've already referred friends and family to Pilates Collective. It's definitely the place I want to spend my time and money when it comes to taking better care of myself.

My third class was rescheduled by the teacher and unfortunately I made a mistake adding it to my calendar. Because of this my last class was forfeited and I lost $66. I read the disclosures and waivers I signed. I couldn't find this anywhere in the fine print, but maybe I missed it. I think it would be less harsh to pay a fee of $15, maybe $30, and keep my last class. Or better yet, be able to find where the forfeited class and loss of $66 is in the "rules" I enjoyed my first two classes, studio was clean and the owner was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I wanted to find a new way to get movement in my life, but I can't afford a $66 mistake on a class that was rescheduled by the teacher.

Ruthie is very knowledgeable on how to treat conditions and injuries from chronic pain with simple body movements to achieve mobility once again.

I have been working with Ruthie for just over a year now, on a weekly basis. I was looking for a way build my upper and lower core to ease chronic neck pain from a car accident. When I first contacted Ruth via email, not only did she respond immediately, she provided a detailed analysis of the ways in which she might be able to offer assistance. The attention to detail has not changed since that first contact last summer. She is meticulous about planning each session to focus on ways to build upon work from previous week, while continuing to explore new ideas and challenge me physically. The most amazing part is that she is always ready to make adjustments after checking in with me at the beginning of each session. It is such a pleasure working with Ruthie - she is a fantastic personal trainer! I leave each session feeling like I have done well, made progress and learned key techniques for improving my body mechanics. Ruthie is so patient and intuitive during each session, subtly reminding me of key components of each move, reinforcing the correct alignment/positioning. During the COVID shutdown, Ruthie didn't skip a beat! She transitioned into Zoom sessions, which are amazingly effective. I must admit, I was doubtful about doing personal training via Zoom, but it has really worked well for me and she has been beyond flexible in finding a good time the works for us both. For anyone looking for a capable, knowledgeable, patient and truly amazing personal trainer - look no further. Ruthie is a gem!

After each session I walk out feeling taller and my body is invigorated--I have greater awareness of how my body is moving. My breathing is also deeper and more open. Ashley is extremely attentive, making slight adjustments to my posture during the movements, ensuring that I am working the muscles that are meant to be worked. The movements never get boring or repetitive as she has a comprehensive knowledge of different ways to achieve the same goal--the goals are the same but there are many paths to get there. Ashley is a born teacher (strict, but compassionate) with a complete understanding of the human body and how it works.

I have taken both Barre and Reformer Pilates classes in her studio. I tend to become bored with exercise repetition, but Julie's classes offer a wide variety and challenge to keep me engaged. As a senior student I am benefitting from greater core strength, spinal re-alignment, stamina and flexibility. When I first began taking Pilates I experienced joint pain and limited range-of-motion in my body. But, by taking Julie's classes I am now enjoying greater muscle tone and improved joint flexibility. Julie addresses the individual needs of each student, through customized exercise to maintain a safe but challenging Pilates program. Her classes combine Reformer equipment, light weight use of balls, bands and mat, building from the beginning basics to more advanced concepts and exercise. Julie's studio prices are reasonable, and her professional upbeat approach is great!
