Drea listened to my needs and history before setting me on a path to build strength, using care and compassion in her assessment of the right amount of band resistance and strength training exercises. What I love most is that no two sessions have been the same repetitive movements over and over. Drea keeps the workout well paced and intensity level at just the right timing depending upon and in response to how my body is moving each time. Cute private studio, responsive communications and easy booking. I'm loving the results so far.

This studio is extremely kid friendly (there is a small play area in the back), clean, and well organized. I loved the mat class I took this morning- I appreciated the multiple modification options offered during the class. I will definitely come back and add this studio into my rotation of pilates studios to frequent.

I really love this studio and all of their classes, which is why this was so disappointing. I was…read morepretty grossed out walking into a recent class and noticing the room hadn't been cleaned or sanitized after the previous session. Everyone was expected to lay their mats directly on top of other people's sweat, and the weights were still wet and sticky. For a studio at this price point, I would expect much better sanitation practices. Clean equipment and floors aren't just about appearances, they're important for helping prevent the spread of germs and ensuring members feel comfortable. I hope the studio makes cleanliness a higher priority moving forward because otherwise it's a fantastic place to work out.
