Beyond Pilates is an incredible business with so many options for holistic wellness. I started at…read moreBeyond Pilates with private and semi-private sessions with their incredibly skilled and well versed instructors. Each instructor has their own style and approach to Pilates that makes being a client fun and exciting. From restorative, release classes to fast moving high intensity classes they offer a bit of everything. Interspersed with their wide array of group classes, I'm able to book private sessions where the instructors base the entire hour around my body and needs. Nicole, the studio founder, has an unparalleled knowledge base. Her expert eye noticed and directed me to understand my hypermobility. I never leave a workout with her feeling discouraged. This has truly changed my life and approach to fitness. Dr Erin Jarrett has changed the way my body moves and rests by noticing patterns, weakness, compensation, tightness, and releasing areas that need it. I have worked with so many PTs. None even remotely rival Erin's ability or intelligence about physicality and how to work with someone's body where they are. Jennah's incredible repertoire of anatomical knowledge and cues speak to my need to visualize exactly what I am doing and why. Brooke's dance background and understanding of movement help me achieve goals in a way I didn't know that I could. Parker pairs her incredible knowledge, care, and motivation in the most balanced way to provide a nurturing and challenging workout. Jacqueline's knowledge of hypermobility and dysautonomia both shock and awe in how they combine to deliver a workout that supports the compensations my body makes. Miranda always looks for a way to make movement accessible and creative. I enjoy her use of props and willingness to try new things. Amanda's classical approach allows me to measure my progress with each class in a fun and charismatic environment. I cannot say enough about how Beyond Pilates has changed my outlook about fitness, wellness, and my ability to push myself in the most positive way within both.

Beyond Pilates of Boone changed my life. I started Pilates almost four years ago. I was suffering…read morechronic back and realized it was only going to get worse (the aging process is not kind). So, if I was to continue walking straight and feeling good about myself, I had to commit to something, but what? Luckily I worked with a woman a few years older than I who suggested I meet with Nicole of Beyond Pilates of Boone. I did, I committed and I'm stronger now than I was in my 20's and my back pain is gone. I gained strength, stability, flexibility, balance, and stamina and I continue to improve and learn. Nicole and Parker are educated in human anatomy and weave that knowledge into the training so that I now have a better understanding of my body and my issues. Each session you are asked what issues you're dealing with so your duet or private session is tailored to your needs. The equipment is always set according to your size and ability, and Nicole and Parker are always, always watching to make those slight adjustments in your position so you are performing the routine correctly (i.e. you don't hurt yourself!) I love every session and feel I am aging more gracefully. And it doesn't hurt that I look better too! It doesn't matter your age, your shape, your gender. All will be welcomed and will benefit from the tailored instruction and the kindness and warmth generated by the folks of Beyond Pilates of Boone.

I recently discovered the beautiful space upstairs that holds a yoga studio and restaurant called…read moreRooted. I plan to go to a class soon. While reading previous reviews, I found one where the author found fault with the business because the owner wasn't especially excited about giving out yet another freebie to a solicitor. Having owned and operated a business for 18 years, I can tell you the amount of people who just walked into my small business asking for free stuff to auction or give away was overwhelming. None of them understood how difficult it is to make ends meet, they just assumed it was easy. Most had no prior appointment, they just showed up and lots of times I was too busy but had to put down my work to attend to them. I was always generous. But for my business to survive, I needed to protect it. It's like you start off with a fluff of cotton but little by little tufts get pulled off until after so many years go by, there is a dwindled down fluff- don't be mindful and soon nothing will be left. Now, in my opinion, being a yogini and being a business woman is not at odds with each other. In fact, having a business that is providing such a useful service to the community calls for even more protective measures. It is part of being able to continue to bring spiritual guidance and physical health to Boone. That is a big responsibility! If the owner didn't handle the request skillfully, perhaps she was tired and overwhelmed. Teachers are human too. They can have bad days and maybe on that day the solicitor was the one straw too many. That the previous reviewer states they'll never go back because they were dismissed and chose to do harm by leaving a bad review tells me they weren't there for the yoga. They were there to feel good about themselves being a do- gooder. Maybe check up on yourself.

Highlights of our experiences. Phoenix has helped my husbands chronic back & tight hams. She also really nailed the connections w/regard to a very sudden onset & painful plantar fasciitis episode I had last fall. Began my road to recovery. When you have pain & specific problem areas a light Swedish is NOT going to get it so know that in advance. Serious work and total relaxation options available. Diana has also skillfully provided me with very relaxing facials, detoxifying wraps & her Lymph Star treatments are just wonderful. These are not one off but cumulatively effective modalities I have appreciated & see/feel the difference! Results count and we are pleased we took the time and invested in our health.

Most of the other gyms in town offer 24 hour access options so the contrast to these limited hours is drastic. Mon-Thurs they are open 5:30am - 9:00pm which is reasonable. Friday hours are 5:30 am - 8:00 pm, which is probably fine for most people as I am a weirdo who enjoys a Friday night workout which is out of the norm. On Sat the gym is only open from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, then Sun from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm. These weekend hours make it very unlikely I would ever get a workout in on the weekend so it was not worth the membership fees for me.
