My surgery went great. It is now two months after my surgery date and I have returned to Pilates. I feel great! I believe that the work I've done at Springboard Pilates has made a huge difference in the surgery and recovery. The team of instructors at Springboard are very knowledgeable and have been able to help me customize my work so it always supported my body's needs. Thank you Team Springboard Pilates!

I moved to Portland about two and a half years ago and was hoping that I could find a great,…read moreclassical Pilates studio. Springboard was-and remains-the answer. Meredith and her staff are skilled, sensitive, and fun. Meredith, especially, has an intuitive sense of what the body in front of her needs-the hallmark of a great Pilates teacher. I recommend Springboard to anyone who wants to feel better, move better, or look better. Beginners to advanced, no matter how long-or how little-you've sat on the sofa, there's a class or workout here for everyone. What you won't find is elitism or snobbery-you'll never feel judged or like you're in a competition. On a personal note, I was stricken with stage 3 bladder cancer last year, and struggled to find my way back to health. With patience, steady encouragement, and a ton of kindness, Meredith has overseen my slow and painful return to form. As much as I am grateful for my life, I am grateful to Meredith for helping me return to it.

Tried the Beginner/Intermediate Reformer Class with Wendee, the owner, after not doing Pilates…read moresince my hip surgery in 2017. This was a great class to get back into the game! Wendee is very mindful and knowledgeable about our anatomy and modifies to each individual student. She gives great instructions and seems to come up with unique movements. I enjoyed her challenges into building a stronger me! Her Pilates classes are affordable, $115.00 for 5 classes, $200 for 10, and $25 for a drop-in.

I have been going to Scarborough Pilates and LOVE it. I've taken both mat and reformer classes. I…read morehave seen results in a short period of time. Since attending classes I'm more flexible, have better balance and muscle length. It is a great workout for all body parts. The owner/instructor, Wendee Rogerson, is a Pilates Certified instructor. Wendee is also a certified aerial yoga instructor. With her professional dance background (she has an impressive dance resume!), Pilates training and studies in anatomy, I feel I get a thorough workout with a professional who is paying close attention to my goals and safety. The studio is friendly and clean. The reformers are authentic. Clients are of all ages. There are a variety of class levels and times offered all week. Classes are reasonable prices and free parking (not like studios downtown). Bonus? The studio shares the same parking lot as a health food store! I strongly recommend Scarborough Pilates! It is addicting!

SH/FT is the most comprehensive and effective training facilities that I have ever worked out in…read more The space is absolutely beautiful with modern, clean lines and an open floor plan with stunning floor to ceiling windows. It's easy to get to, located just outside of the main tourist and traffic area of downtown, and very rarely do I have any trouble parking. What truly sets SH/FT apart though are the trainers, who quite honestly have become more like family and friends for my husband and I (as well as many of the other members). Not only are the trainers highly educated in health and fitness, but they are constantly improving their knowledge and techniques. For me this has provided an incredibly dynamic personal training program that has given me results that I could have never imagined possible. I have never felt so fit, so motivated and so strong - while also constantly being challenged to take it to the next level. And coming from someone who has been working out since about age 5 this is a pretty bold and authentic statement. This attention to detail also carries over into small group training and classes, where the workouts are always challenging, creative and planned with an ultimate goal of full body fitness in mind. I would highly recommend SH/FT to anyone, no matter what your goals are they will help you to reach, and if your experience is anything like mine, exceed them.

Between the personal training and small group classes, I am excited to attend session because it's fun, challenging and improving my health and wellness.

We all need to exercise to live a healthy life and I feel fortunate that Shift keeps me motivated and having fun while exercises. Their facility is incredibly clean, bright and welcoming. The restrooms have showers lockers and amenities. There are Pelotons bikes, treadmills, free weights, smith machines, TRX bands and not to mention highly educated instructors that are complete geeks about body mechanics and training.

I've been practicing with Sea Cove Pilates since the fall of 2021, and my experience with Kristin…read morehas been nothing short of transformational. When I first began, I was a true beginner, uncertain, curious, and new to classical Pilates. Now, thanks to her thoughtful support and finely tuned attention to my body and unique needs, I'm confidently working at an advanced level, and still growing with excitement. Kristin has an organic ability to meet her clients exactly where they are, without judgment, and with a quiet mastery that invites learning at your own pace. Her depth of knowledge in classical Pilates is outstanding, and her studio is fully equipped with all the traditional equipment, creating a rich and complete environment for practice. There's also an unmistakable element of whole-body care in every session. Kristin brings a beautiful balance of humility and humor to her teaching; she knows when to focus deeply and when to laugh, which makes the practice both meaningful and sustainable. I've never felt bored or burned out, only inspired, curious, and more connected to my body. Sea Cove is a gem, and Kristin is a rare and gifted teacher. I could not recommend this studio more.
