I have been doing pilates for over 2 years and have recently moved to Mukilteo. First order of…read morebusiness was finding a studio that I could practice in. Studio Lux is very close to my house so I decided to try it. Rachel offers a free trial session so I felt I had nothing to lose. I have mostly done pilates on a reformer, but Rachel mostly provides mat work. I decided to just go with it and signed up for a package. I attend a session once a week. It has now been about 9 months. I have seen a tremendous positive change in my body since working with her. I am stronger, more balanced, and am more aware of checking in with myself daily to make sure I am engaging my core and watching my body position. Rachel is knowledgeable, clear in her communication, and professional. Her studio is small and she tailors the workouts to each attendee at every level which feels like private sessions. I am so happy I found this gem.

Movement Arts has experienced, well qualified instructors who seem to constantly be working to…read moreimprove their own practices. The environment is comfortable and scrupulously clean - which is a big thing for me at any kind of gym or studio! I've been taking PIlates - they offer mat Pilates, which is a serious workout - YogaTone, a dance / Yoga fusion developed by the owner, Kara Keating, and Flow Yoga, which is a series of continuous movements that build strength and flexibility. My wife and I have both been taking classes at Movement Arts for around three years. Some reasons why, aside from good teachers and a super clean, comfortable environment, are: I like that the instructors - even in the group classes - take the time to work with individual students, helping us with our form and approach. The wide variety of classes and the fact that they offer classes in the morning, afternoon and early evenings most day makes it very convenient to attend the classes we want. The studio also offers regular yoga excursions - at reasonable prices - to places like Maui, Costa Rica and other spots - all in search of the perfect Downward Dog! :) Finally, I appreciate the community feel of Movement Arts - it is definitely not like a gym, where you go to work out and then - you're gone. This is the kind of place that I hope will help keep us stronger, more flexible, health(ier) and happier for many years.

I moved away from the "studio" I have used for the last 10 or so years, and needed to find a new one. It's hard now to measure any studio against you have had such a long and great relationship with. The studio has a variety of tables & machines (not my brand, but ...) and other techniques (or programs) - TRX. After an hour of putting me through my paces, assessing my skills & fitness, to see where I would fit into group classes, I feel pretty good about Gina & the studio. It's not my first home, but I think I'll grow to fit in. Gina has a great personality for a trainer; personable, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I decided after my experience to sign up for the group classes, the first two between or calendars, all future are via the Internet, conveniently from home. I highly recommend if your are curious able Pilates or looking for a studio, you give Gina a try.

Cynthia took care, early on, to make sure that I never overextended myself and used proper form to avoid injury. So often I would fall back into my old habits. You know, head forward, shoulders hunched, etc. With gentle coaching I was able to correct my posture during exercises to gain the full benefit of my efforts. On departing Sequim, I continued to practice. It's really changed my life, and I've continued to book a session with Cynthia whenever I return.
