It was relaxing and relieving and she also released some problem areas I didn't even know I had (ouch, but good!). I found her really reassuring and encouraging and she helped me gain new awareness about some things my body was doing. Will be visiting again!

The first time I went there, I was afraid that as a Rubenesque boomer I'd feel out of place. No way. Everyone was welcoming and respectful and I was delighted to be in the company of other people in my demographic and condition, as well as younger, fitter people. I've been having extraordinarily helpful private sessions with Cody Jussel. Cody is the right trainer for me. She is a highly educated corrective/adaptive movement professional with deep knowledge in kinesiology, dance, pilates and other modalities. It's a financial investment, but it's worth it to me to avoid surgical and other treatments.

I initially started Pilates when my Physical Therapist suggested it after a knee replacement. I…read moreattended a few private sessions and even though I realized the benefits of Pilates, the instruction/environment was not very inspiring. I researched many studios before I settled on Pilates Two-Six. I thoroughly recommend the studio as well as the 2 instructors, Kendra and Drea. The studio is located in a private home which is very clean and inviting; they have all the props and everything needed to provide excellent core-strengthening and balance building sessions! I have worked with both Drea and Kendra who are each very knowledgable regarding the Pilates technique, as well as creative in adjusting the exercises to fit one's needs; they are good listeners and very adaptable. Inspite of my resistance to showing up at times, I always leave feeling so much more present, stronger and with a greater sense of well-being. I also appreciate Drea's massage at the end of the session, whenever I feel the need to release some tension in my back, neck, legs, feet, etc.; her finishing touches are wonderful! Pilates Two-Six also offers sessions at an amazing rate; the introductory session is even less than the on-going sessions. I feel that both instructors really believe in Pilates and give of themselves in a way that is very professional, dedicated, devoted and inspiring. I would like to suggest that you give yourself a wonderful present of Pilates and add Pilates Two-Six to your New Year's Resolutions!

I have been taking one on one private sessions with Drea for the past 4 months. When I started I…read morewas having hip issues and in just about 2 months I have been pain free. 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.

I have been training here for nine years and I am always pleased when I learn a new movement. Emma has a kind clear voice with the ability to explain the movements in easily understood descriptions. She also did the entire class with us which I always adore because I am a visual learner. I am a counter, and when Emma says 10 she means it. She makes sure you do equal amount on each sides which I really appreciate. Kudos to Emma. Pleasure Point Pilates' is lucky to employ her.

For a "high-end boutique" studio I have been attending for a year now as of this month, the past…read moreyear there have been a lot of recurring issues. First off, do not get me wrong, I absolutely love taking my spin cycle class and the two instructors I'll ever go to (Deborah Bredy & Lindsey Bridges) sometimes three when Makenzie instructs, and I have tried the other instructors out and they are NOT for me. For the last year I have watched, experienced, heard from other peers, etc. that the upkeep of the facility is not up to par with; bikes always being broken (for long periods of time), men's and women's restrooms not being up to par with what the customers need; soap (hair & body) in the shower consistently (that is not watered down), water/moisture proof cabinets (that do not collect mildew), more cabinets and add coat rack(s) for their students on the wall by the storage closet by the TRX room and spin class, and let me share with you, a membership here cost a lot more than my membership at Chaminade. So I would assume, sorry for assuming, to have consistency of machines working. Throughout the year I cannot repeat how many times the spin class bikes have been out of commission, them overbooking this specific class, not knowing how many bikes are out of services on the regular, peers sharing with the front desk on what is broken, peers of mine who don't share because, they are simply uncomfortable to do so, and seeing/watching so much miscommunication from student to staff to upper management. It's getting old and fast! When we pay for our membership we don't expect but, demand for the equipment to work consistently - that is not a lot to ask for. It honestly is not, it's common sense. Sorry for being so blunt but, sometimes being blunt gets things done. On another note, I have missed classes because, bikes have been out of service yet not stated they are out of commission but, booked instead for operation. I have used three bikes throughout the past year that were marked as "usable" and were out of commission. My lower back KILLED me the entire 45 minutes. Now that is dedication for one to really like a class, however almost being 40 and sucking up the pain three times I will not do that anymore. It was NOT worth it for the price I pay and others to have bikes that work. People love these classes, as I do, and want to attend these classes. Why, because they are amazing and so much fun! Please please please get your bikes in order - it's a new year and a new way of running Hot Elevation to run with consistency.
