I was looking for a really good Pilates trainer because both my manual therapist and my personal…read moretrainer suggested I go see one after I had a very painful episode of low back pain. I'm not new to Pilates or the world of core development, fitness and how the body can get into bad compensation patterns especially as we get older (I'm now 50 and I want to stay active) so I think I have a good idea of what I'm looking for in a trainer. So when I did some research and found Breathe Diversity I picked Sherrese Mikell. I've seen her now 3 or 4 times and have enjoyed the sessions. I've continued to be impressed with her knowledge of the body and movement, her ability to change things up when a movement she has me do doesn't feel quite right and her ability to keep the sessions light and enjoyable. I definitely would recommend her to anyone who wants to stay active while aging gracefully.

There is a nice intro offer that lets you try out a lot of different classes to really find the instructor that works for you. You can tell the great instructors as their classes often have waiting lists, but you can almost always get into the class you want either by signing up early or showing up just before the class. The spin studio has Keiser bikes and they are kept well maintained. The room is kept dark, there are 3 rows of bikes, about 36 total. Good ventilation, free towels, and everyone is really friendly. There are two screens that rank all the riders, you can choose to be on it or not. The yoga classes also have great instructors. The hot yoga is really great. It is the only hot yoga I go to, all the other hot yoga studios stick badddd. This room has a hardwood floor, good ventilation, and is kept clean -- so no nasty hot yoga stank. I am so happy to have found this place. It is just so much better -- better facility, better instructors, better classes.

Being new to town I set out to find a yoga studio for my husband and I and a fitness center for…read morecardio classes. I tried a few places in town (sort of like goldilocks, something just wasn't right for me with each of them), before a friend recommended her favorite place, Tone - Pilates, Dance, Yoga. Thank goodness! I just love it! Not only does my membership provide me with the yoga classes and yoga studio I was looking for, but they have the largest schedule of fitness class offered over all the other clubs in town I looked at. So besides yoga, I have also done Pilates mat classes, Cardio Toning, Zumba, Barre toning classes and they even have adult ballet, which looks fun. The owners Alyson and Monica are so sweet (as are all the staff). They all are warm, inviting and inclusive. Tone feels like a community, a community of new friends. Which is also so important. I now recommend it to everyone new that I meet and have had several friends and co-workers join. They offer a free pass on their website, which is also really nice for first time visitors and guests. It is a special place and a warm and welcoming yoga studio, fitness studio, Pilates studio, dance studio and community for everyone and I can't recommend it enough.

Now, I can confidently say that Pilates is something I hope to stick with for the rest of my life. Club Pilates is a wonderful place to work out, tone your body, improve body awareness, and increase muscle mass. There are plenty of classes and levels to choose from, making it easy to find the right fit for your goals and experience. The instructors are truly the best of the best! Laurie, Elena, Karin, Lilly, and April are true professionals! Each one of them has a unique teaching style and an impressive depth of knowledge and expertise. Plus, they are also wonderful at modifying exercises to accommodate injuries or physical limitations. The ladies at the front desk are always welcoming, kind, and friendly. Thank you, Club Pilates, for being there for me and supporting me throughout my healing journey. I feel stronger every single day. Highly recommend!

I started Pilates about 4 months postpartum, and it has been one of the best things I've done for myself. Not only has it strengthened my body, but it's also strengthened my mind in ways I didn't expect. It's been such a powerful reminder that I'm stronger than I think. What started as a simple summer bucket-list activity quickly turned into my newest obsession. I took one class, became a member shortly after, and now over a 100 classes later--I haven't looked back. I'm forever grateful for this journey and everything this studio has given me. Highly recommend to anyone at any stage of their fitness journey.

I have been doing mat Pilates for over 10 years and recently moved from the Bay Area to Sebastopol…read morearea. I did a lot of research online and visited several Pilates studios in the Sebastopol. I was very happy with my previous studio and instructor and was looking for something similar. I wanted small classes, knowledgeable & friendly instructors, personal attention, suitable class schedule, clean, comfortable & well-equipped studio, easy parking, and affordable fees. Well, I found the perfect fit for me at Simply Pilates! Colleen is an amazing instructor. She is fun, energetic, and most importantly, knowledgeable in body physiology and the Pilates method. In every class, Colleen constantly gives verbal cues on posture and breathing. She varies what we do in each class so it is not repetitive and gets boring. We all know that Pilates is about strengthening the body core to improve posture, strength and flexibility. In my previous classes, I was just instructed to "suck" in my abs. With Colleen, the instruction is more detailed and she gets us to "identify, feel, work, & strengthen" so many different parts of our body that makes up our "core". I highly recommend Colleen and her Simply Pilates studio. She makes classes so fun and your body feel so good.
