Fantastic pilates studio with well-trained, personable instructors and great equipment. Workouts are varied and personalized so you get to try different movements, equipment, and "accessories". NOT a "club" environment but a professional, challenging workout. I have numerous joint issues and Kellie is masterful at adapting moves and exercises to fit my needs. I have been going for over 8 years and it has made my pain and surgical recoveries much less problematic. At age 69 I feel strong and confident thanks to Kellie and her wonderful staff! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. Kellie is so knowledgable and she makes us work hard in the best possible way! I came with chronic back pain and learning how to make sure I was positioned correctly has been key to my recovery! Plus she is very good at monitoring everyone's form and taking time to correct you if necessary. I've been going here since August 2015 and I just love it! read more

My mom and I enjoyed a wonderful semi-private session today with Amy at Blue Sky Pilates! The studio is clean and pleasant, there is a large and varied selection of grippy socks if you want to buy a pair (highly recommend), and the machines were in great condition. We got a deeply felt workout, and Amy gave us plenty of modifications based on our levels of fitness. Can't wait to go back! read more

Kellie is awesome - she takes the time to get to know each person and their injuries/weaknesses. She customizes each session keeping in mind each person's issues and she takes into consideration our preferences for the day. She has no more than 5 people in a class so you get some key 1:1 time. Equipment pilates has helped to keep me from having to go back to physical therapy! My core is stronger than it's ever been and I feel leaner and taller. The hour goes by so quickly that the session is over in a snap. I love that it's a full body work out with elements of cardio and strength training involved. I definitely sweat throughout the session - It's harder than you think folks... Highly recommended!! :) read more

I've been going to Blue Sky Pilates for a few months now. Kellie truly is a joy to workout with. I've been doing the one-on-one pilates equipment and couldn't be happier. I was very nervous about trying Pilates, but knew it would benefit me with all the pings and pangs my body has after years of athletic abuse or overdoing it. One of the great things about working with Kellie is that she understands what is going on when a movement hurts more than it should. She immediately adjusts the movement to ensure that I still get the right benefit without incurring injury. She's extremely patient, and through her calmness I want to push myself further and be better. I feel energized when I'm done, and happier with my accomplishments. She moves around different equipment and nothing is routine (perfect for me). She watches how I'm positioned and ensures I have the right alignment, am breathing from deep within, and is right there next to me in case I lose my balance. I definitely think the prices are right for the customization I'm getting. Looking forward to starting a group class next!! read more

I had a one time experience here and wasn't crazy about it or the equipment but I come from a classical pilates background. This was more like Club Pilates type of group class. Studio is clean and bright. read more

Kellie is absolutely the BEST teacher ever! I was skeptical for years about Pilates, thinking it was too slow, not a good workout, etc., but after taking sessions with Kellie and feeling the difference in core strength and flexibility, I am a believer. My husband, an avid cyclist and amateur racer, believed Pilates was a gimmick until I convinced him to try 2 sessions with Kellie. Now he is 100% on board saying he has never felt better. I've taken Pilates from other teachers, but none of the others have Kellie's natural teaching gift. She is motivating, explains the procedures clearly, and makes sure she understands any goals and/or physical issues along the way. We LOVE Kellie and Blue Sky Pilates!!! read more

Kellie, is just fantastic. I was hooked when I started training with her, and Pilates has helped me tremendously with some injuries I have. Plus, Kellie's background in athletic training lets her fine-tune my session to address those injuries. Cannot say enough good things about Kellie and her approach to Pilates. read more

For several years now as I have been approaching middle age, with the typical increase in general "aches and pains," I have been telling myself that I really should take a Pilates class to limber up and stay mobile. However, it wasn't until I fell off a ladder and hurt my back that I got serious about it and signed up for the Beginner class at Blue Sky Pilates. As a total novice to any type of regular exercise routine, I wasn't sure what to expect -- but after 2 months of a weekly workout, I can say that I LOVE my Pilates class. Blue Sky Pilates is a friendly, non-intimidating place to get started on stretching and strengthening your whole body, and perhaps discovering muscle groups you don't even know you have ! Groups are small (maximum 5 students) and classes at various levels are conveniently scheduled throughout the week. Kelli is obviously an expert in the field and manages to pay individualized attention to the physical strengths and/or weaknesses of each member of the class, all while keeping us moving together as a group. She also does a great job of mixing up the sessions so that each week is not simply a repetition of the previous week's class. I usually can't believe it's been at it a whole hour when she says "and we're done for today!" Knowing that many of her students have busy schedules that don't permit more than once a week classes, Kelli also is very helpful in "prescribing" at-home exercises and stretches that keep her students moving in-between their class times. In just the short time that I have been working with Kelli, I catch myself thinking about how I'm standing/sitting/walking throughout each day, with a significant improvement in how I generally feel, even on days when I spend a lot of time at my desk. Blue Sky Pilates is definitely a treasure among the various mass-marketed exercise studios in the area. Check it out ! read more

I had been walking past Kellie's first studio for a couple of months before my curiosity got the better of me and I made a call to her. Although I'd done quite a bit of mat work, I'd never been on Pilates equipment before. I'm always looking for something new to add to my routine and keep me moving, especially after not being able to exercise at all for a couple of years and gaining quite a bit of weight. I was comfortable from the beginning, both with the studio and with Kellie. Her classes are small and intimate, and Kellie goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome, relaxed, and included. I believe her degree is in sport physiology and it shows. She caters every class to each individual's strengths and weaknesses. She also offers several different types of classes (private and group, equipment, mat, chair, etc.), to keep things interesting. I've been working with her for almost two years now, but I still know when I've been to a Pilates class! If you're looking for a fun, challenging workout in a beautiful, friendly studio, Blue Sky Pilates is the place for you. read more

I've been doing pilates mat and reformer for about 4 years. I moved to Cary in August of 2014 and searched for Pilates studios to continue my practice. Kellie is by far the best instructor I have had. She is creative, VERY knowledgable about the Pilates system and the human body, and committed to making each student get the most out of their work-out. She has eagle eyes! Since Pilates only really works if you are in the correct form, Kellie ensures that each student is using the correct alignment throughout the movements. I'm really impressed that she can catch very small changes in alignment and fix them so you get the max benefit from the work out. Blue Sky also has the highest quality equipment I have ever used. Most studios have reformer only classes, or chair-only class, or tower only classes. Because Blue Sky has everything, you might use a variety of equipment during the session. This keeps the sessions challenging and interesting! Starting Pilates is one of the smartest things anyone can do for their body. And this studio is the finest in Raleigh. I promise! read more
