Amazing place! Love, love the classes, instructors and my fellow participants! Thank you!

I've done all kinds of exercise programs: yoga, Bikram's yoga, land aerobics, water aerobics, tai chi, Feldenkrais Method, and more. Oddly, I never tried Pilates. Well, I hit the jackpot with this studio recommended by one of my good friends. I've had Amanda and Doug, both excellent! Doug shines amongst the brightest in terms of the many instructors and trainers that I've had. He's the only person aside from my doctor that can accurately describe what chronic fatigue feels like. That is simply amazing considering he doesn't have the condition himself (that I know of). His empathy is genuine, not superficial. In spite of all the instructors I've had, I've learned more from Doug in two sessions about managing my energy than anyone else. My session today was very seriously life-changing. When I walked out of that studio today, I had more hope for the future than I've had in years. Instead of being fearful of physical decline and inability to do things, I felt like I had a legitimate, sustainable way to increase and maintain my energy. I am genuinely grateful that I found Simply Pilates and am looking forward to continuing there. Highly recommended! Note: During my first visit, Amanda explained that they do Classic Pilates, not Contemporary Pilates. That means they do exercises created by Joseph​ Pilates without modifications. A distinction like that is important to me because form is very important to me and I know I'm learning something that can be replicated if I go to studios in other states or countries. read more

I noticed Simply Pilates in passing and decided to finally commit to trying it. As a beginner I had a few questions which Amanda answered promptly via email. At the studio everyone was welcoming, nice and cheerful. As a first-time student an initial $50 private session is mandatory but it's worth the money: it's an hour long workout that encompasses all the equipment. Gabbie was my friendly instructor and she patiently and expertly demonstrated and guided me through all the exercises. It's quite the whirl-wind and while comprehensive, with so much to take in, I recommend - and am going to partake in - additional private sessions to get my bearings. The studio smells fresh, is open, light and bright, just like the pictures show. It's also kept at a cool temp which is perfect for working out. And I was told the cleaner used for wiping down the equipment is house made and non toxic (bonus!). It's been a few hours since my first session and I'm already feeling it - looking forward to continuing! My only suggestion for improvement would be more hands-on guidance / adjustments for proper posture and movement. I realize there is only an hour to get through everything but I feel like I may have been moving incorrectly. For this reason and since it's only my first experience, I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars; after some additional sessions I'll update my review and - if necessary - adjust the rating accordingly. :-) read more

I searched for five years to find a great Pilates studio here and man, oh man does this studio offer excellence. I almost hesitate to post a review because they are so,so good and I know how rare and wonderful that is. Attention to detail, mindful and heartfelt classes, teachers that care and pay attention, a welcoming vibe, and the telltale - I feel great, strong, empowered, aligned, and healthy. I really love how this group welcomes all ages, all levels but also holds a high level as a goal. Five stars plus read more

Simply Pilates helped me avoid back surgery. In fact, my back pain has mostly disappeared thanks to Simply Pilates and my diet! Amanda and Rebecca are simply outstanding instructors and their relentless focus on form, technique and micro movements are perfect for my condition. I have been going to Simply Pilates in Scottsdale for 2 years, twice a week, and its working for me. As a very active senior, my spirits have never been higher and I feel great, physically and spiritually. My mantra is "WOW" -- working on wellness. I was thrilled to see Amanda featured on Channel 3 news in Phoenix yesterday just before I went in for my session which always elevates my mood, aligns my body and puts a spring in my step. Its like discovering the fountain-of-youth and can't wait for the next lesson. Phil C. read more

Love the studio and instructors. Amanda was very accommodating and understanding of my needs as a client. Studio is a bit on the smaller side compared to other studios I have seem but I am not looking to do laps in there so I don't really care. Its comfortable enough to fit the equipment and still not feel like you are on top of other people. The only reason this is not a 5 star is because at times when you are trying to focus on your workout if theres a group class going on then that can be disruptive to your focus. Pilates can be very relaxing if you have the right environment. I have an injury that I am trying to rehab and currently working with Jennifer. Shes amazing and so incredibly supportive. Cant say enough good things about her. Great people and great workout. Definitely give them a try. read more

I have been doing Pilates for nearly 10 years and Amanda is the best instructor I have ever had. She cares about every student and is a master instructor. Her work outs have every student in mind and even in a group setting she will make sure the workout is individualized based on student needs. The other instructors in the studio are just as fantastic as she is. This is a judge free zone where everyone encourages others to be their best. Other studios in the valley seem clicky and competitive - that is not this studio! read more

Simply Pilates is a simply amazing studio! Any praise that I could give Amanda and her team would be an understatement. I look forward to each class and I am always amazed at how quickly the hour passes. I have seen incredible results driven by Amanda's attention to detail, upbeat personality, and caring nature. I wish that I would have been introduced to Pilates 20 years ago. read more

Over the past few years, I have suffered with serious lower back pain and knee issues due to extensive running over many years. When I found myself slowing down nearly all of my activity, I sought something that would help me yet not strain these areas of concern. Well? I found it and more! Rebecca has been instrumental in bringing me back to health. My back may ache on occasion but WOW what a change! I have been doing Pilates, individually and in group, with her for nearly three years! I experienced a lot of change in a few weeks. It took me a little while to learn some techniques and Rebecca's encouragement and patience was essential to my mobility. Even when a slight flare up occurs, she can adapt the exercises to protect me. Honestly, she has made a huge difference in my life. read more
