Love Boston Body Pilates so much! Truly my happy place and a gift that I enjoy giving to myself…read more The studio is beautiful, clean, friendly and positive-vibes. I started by doing privates with the owner, Jaclyn, after I had my baby. She is wonderful and really helped me to get comfortable on the reformer She's a fantastic instructor, so warm, patient and knows her stuff. Alyssa's strength and conditioning class is next level! She's an amazing instructor who manages to make her classes SO fun while really challenging us at the same time. I always leave her class feeling uplifted, humbled, and eager to come back for more. I really enjoy the other regulars who take her classes too - we all seem to love torturing ourselves ;) So grateful to have found this studio. It's truly a gem. Thank you, BBP!

Mara is very careful about my creaky back, yet gives me challenging and a variety of workouts. Yes, the studio is small, but it is carefully designed. I never have trouble focusing on my workout.

She's gotten me hooked on feeling good, going the extra mile (or rep) and making time for myself. I don't think I've ever done the same workout twice, and she'll help you kick your own a** on a weeknight (Come find out about Saturday mornings!). Her studio, her clients and the environment she's created are truly special and if you are on the fence about working out...I promise you won't be after finding success in her classes! She modifies all the work before you have a chance to wonder if you might need it and you'll always leave with a smile on your face-either because it's fun, or you've just kicked your tush in ways you didn't know you could. (The old cliche stands true here-If I can do it AND love it-so can you!!) #getlivelycrew

I've been working with Jan for over 3 months now and I NEVER imagined the mindset shift that I have…read morebeen able to accomplish around food, eating, habits, and my self-esteem. I've always struggled with my weight, and trying weight loss diet's like WW, calorie counting, etc. never worked. I would get really strict with myself, hate what I was doing, feel terrible when I failed and then indulge more in food. But Jan and Get Lively have completely changed the way I think about food, my body, and my habits. Her in-depth intake process, constant focus on her client, and ever-evolving and individualized approached helped me to examine my deeply ingrained feelings around food and start to work on creating a healthier mindset and lifestyle. Her system is not a get fit fast approach, its a calculated and individualized approach that helps you to look inward and find the root causes that are holding you back from where you want to be and then a tailored approach of how to improve! I cannot recommend her enough and I know my friend who recently started her program is loving her too!

TL;DR: EBP has some great features, but also some significant negative points that ultimately…read morecaused me to leave. *** I went to EBP for around 18 months, from 2019-2020ish. I appreciated the facilities, and the way that the classes were able to flex when the pandemic struck. I gained strength and flexibility, and my health overall improved. However... and it's a *big* however... something odd happened, twice. An instructor mysteriously disappeared, without warning or explanation. I don't recall if I was directed toward a different class or not; I think the class simply dissolved. Around 8-ish months later, it happened again with a different instructor. This time, I recall clearly that a new instructor was quickly "given" the class, but she seemed visibly shaken by her weird, sudden introduction to our class, and the class was never given an explanation of what happened that made any sense. Following this, I reached out to EBP and then located and reached out to one of those instructors and got some insight into their situation. Based on what I learned from the two interactions, I ultimately decided that I no longer wanted to give money to an organization that I couldn't trust to treat its employees, or patrons with as much respect as I felt like they or we deserved.

However, it didn't work for my husband and myself, who despite being a little overweight exercise frequently. The studio proceeded very cautiously with us. We were told that we needed to learn all the moves before we could do anything that would even slightly challenge us. The problem is that the exercises were expensive and took time. And by doing them we weren't doing other exercises that really do challenge us (in our case yoga). After 7 "introductory" lessons with still no plan to get us to a point where we would have even mild muscle fatigue we decided it wasn't worth it.

It really is an absolutely fantasticPilates studio and I would totally recommend it to anyone who…read moreis interested in taking Pilates- beginners or advanced. I have taken some Pilates lessons before, and they are of no comparison in quality and level of attention I get with Veronique. She is explaining the exercises in detail, and making sure you are doing them right. Veronique is very patient and understanding of personal goals, needs and abilities, and will adjust and find exercises that suite you. She shows how to do all the exercises correctly, and making sure you don't hurt yourself! She is constantly bringing some new interesting elements and diversifying the training so it never gets boring. Every lesson is quite different from another, although, there are some core elements that remain the same, that are central to Pilates, which I find just great. I have been taking her classes once a week for a year now, and I really enjoy them. I have learned a great deal, and feel a huge improvement with my lower back pain and in my abdominal strength. In addition, Veronique is a very pleasant and gentle person, it's a real pleasure and fun to do an hour workout in her caring company. The studio itself and the setting are absolutely stunning. It's all brand new and very modern, with lots of light, windows, beautiful and peaceful outdoor environment of Moon Hill. Quite unique...

Unfortunately, this class was not made for someone like me at the very beginning of their workout era. The class was very difficult and not accessible for my fitness level. There were a few modifications offered but I decided that solidcore is not for me until I get stronger. I do want to point out that the studio was large and clean. The reformers seemed to be taken well cared for.

The coach Pooja was welcoming and made sure my questions were answered. I had this expectation that everyone would be amazingly fit and perfect, but everyone was so normal and nice :) It didn't feel intimidating at all! The intro class is slower and does a good job at explaining the equipment and moves. I am guessing the regular class is quite a step up though so I'd recommend taking a few intro classes before diving in.

Amazing little studio in Waltham. I took the blue barre bounce class with Grace and loved all the…read morejumping that was involved. It was a small class with 6 people in it. Grace helped me set up the barre on the trampoline, which is around your waist area. This is a cardio-centered class with lots of jumping up and down and side to side. We used weights for as part of an arm workout and barre section after each cardio portion of the class. Grace was great at keeping the energy up and the playlist was very upbeat and bouncy to go along with the class. The only thing I found weird was that you're facing the back wall and not the mirrors. The studio itself is in great shape. There are two rooms and they offer a variety of classes from barre, to spin, to a surf class. There are lots of different options for purchasing packages from a 5 or 10 pack class as well as membership options. I will definitely be back to try their surf class in the near future. The bathroom has lockers and showers (with towels and amenities). If you check in on Yelp, you can purchase 3 pairs of barre socks for $20!

Combining it with barre is such an interesting concept and adds some extra intensity to the workout. I love that the classes are challenging, but not intimidating. I've wanted to try Piloxing (pilates and boxing) for a few years now and was super excited to see this being offered. All I can say is "Wow." I was dripping in sweat and my upper body was sore for days (in the best way possible.) All the instructors have been great, but Grace in particular, who is also the owner, is funny, approachable and has a great teaching style. At my very first class, even though she wasn't the one teaching it, took a minute to notice that I was a new face she didn't recognize and introduced herself. I'd definitely recommend this studio for some interesting and different classes to mix up your normal routine. There's also plenty of parking, which is a plus!

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.
