I've practiced Pilates at Upward Spiral Studio for ~3 years and I'm really grateful for the…read moreexperience. Amy guided me from the fundamentals and helped me develop much better body awareness--alignment, control, and understanding what my body needs instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all workout. She's especially good at making smart adjustments on the spot (modifications, cues, and small changes that make a big difference). The vibe is friendly and professional, scheduling has been smooth, and the space is clean and comfortable. If you're looking for Pilates that's thoughtful, sustainable, and tailored to your body, I'd strongly recommend this studio.

As a fellow physical therapist, I've had a hard time finding other PTs who not only were pilates…read moreteachers, but also incorporated breathwork into their training. Allie was exceptional and very knowledgeable and so thrilled I had a chance to take a private pilates reformer class with her! The very first thing she does is train breathwork with each movement and her cuing is simple, direct and super easy to follow. It was a sweaty yet fun 50 minutes of an intense full body reformer workout and I finished the session feeling invigorated and rejuvenated! Allie was meticulous with taking COVID precautions as we were the only ones in the studio and she was very diligent with sanitizing before and after. Not only is it bright and airy and a welcoming environment, her personality is so energetic and friendly! Will definitely go back for more reformer sessions and highly recommend her!!

Later, she apologized, saying she understood I didn't want to share details "because ICE is snatching people off the streets."

I simply didn't want to provide unnecessary personal information.

TL;DR: I used to hate working out, but I now go to Pilates 3 days/week and have lost ~15 in 4…read moremonths. I love Pilates & this Pilates studio in particular. Diane owns the studio, and Amanda, Cilla, and Kate are the instructors. All of them are amazingly kind and supportive for any newbies looking to try Pilates. They're all STOTT trained, and they all love the work they do and really care about helping you advance. I had tried Pilates a few times before, and I hadn't been able to find a place in Boston that I liked. (I have tried two other studios in the area and left feeling miserable.) But all of the instructors here are so patient and helpful, taking time to talk with me and understand what I am trying to get out of these sessions, and I have seen a dramatic change in my body since I started in October. My upper back doesn't hurt any more; my leggings are loose; my body is stronger; my energy is up; and my mood is better. Before you can take any group classes, you have to do the intro private sessions (I think to make sure you don't injure yourself...which was, at least for me, so very possible lol). I started with once a week then progressed up to three times a week when I noticed how great I was feeling. I have continued with a mix of private and group classes, and I love it. I can not recommend FitLab enough. In fact, I recommend FitLab to everyone in my life--friends, colleagues, everyone lol. It has really changed my body, health, and life.

I have an on-again off-again yoga practice and when my neighborhood studio closed shortly after…read moreCovid, I was looking for a spot to practice about once/week. I had previously done DUY's mysore program in Brookline (2015-2017 or so), and had taken hot yoga classes here and there. I will say, hot yoga is still not my favorite (I crave it maybe twice a year), and this location offers primarily heated flow. Being the closest to my house, though, I found myself attending class year when I purchased a new member monthly special and then subsequent class cards. I have noticed that they have made aesthetic improvements to the studio from when they first purchased it from another franchise. It is quite homey and I can tell there is definitely a community. There are infrequent non-heated classes, but the majority of the classes you will find on the schedule are hot. I discovered that teachers have a different level of heat, so you may want to try different ones to see what works best. My favorite teacher left about 18 months ago, but I will still drop in from time to time. Some teachers follow a pretty generic "hot flow class" type template while others are a bit more original and interesting. I do really like how each teacher has their own style and you get to know that and you can take class with the teachers you like best. I find the 9:30 AM weekday class convenient; not too full but also early enough in the day that I can still get started working from home at a somewhat reasonable hour. The standout teacher at this location for me is Masaaki.

Helena is an amazing Pilates instructor, and the hands-down best masseuse I've ever had. After…read moreworking with her weekly for almost two years (whoa, time flew) she would still find new ways and methods of exercise. My regular practice with her was a big contributor to my physical and mental well being during some stressful periods that I was not otherwise taking good care of myself. I did duets with her as well as individual classes, and some of her workshops. Helena is kind, funny, and honest. There aren't many people I can start my day with at 7 AM, but she is one. She pushes you to stretch your limits but also encourages you to listen to your body, and watches your body and listens to you. She invests in her equipment and is constantly taking trainings and lessons with other instructors to improve and bring the best back to her clients. She does trigger point massage, which brings the pain and the results. You know that feeling after you chop off several inches of your hair, and your head feels like and you know you look amazing? MY WHOLE BODY FELT THAT WAY. It's uncomfortable but effective. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Helena, both personally and professionally. I would be a lifelong client if not for a cross-country move.

I look forward to every session, knowing I will feel stronger and more functionally able. Helena challenges me and, with skill and encouragement, she helps me get stronger, more flexible, more agile, more self-confident in movement. This is very important to me, as a 71-year old, with 2 total knee replacements and a spinal chord injury, who has lots of bad habits from years of obesity and underuse in my relatively recent past. I live in Los Angeles, but am regularly in Cambridge where my new grandson and his parents live. I was blest to work with Helena for 6 weeks straight around when he was born. Now I can't wait to work with Helena whenever I am in town, she is amazing -- and has made a huge difference in my life.
