Beyond Pilates is an incredible business with so many options for holistic wellness. I started at Beyond 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. read more

Beyond Pilates of Boone changed my life. I started Pilates almost four years ago. I was suffering chronic 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. read more
