If you're game for private or semi-private training, no matter your current fitness or experience level, you need to try Body Springs. I'd never done any Pilates before, but Vicki helped me truly fall in love with it. After a few months of working with her privately, supplemented by group classes, my entire body is feeling (& looking) SO much better that I don't think I could ever *stop* doing Pilates, even if I move away from Austin. Vicki is smart, thoughtful, attentive, professional, and experienced. More than that--her reputation precedes her among other Pilates instructors in Austin. Everyone knows she's one of the best, yet she's always humble & considerate. I'm so grateful that I found this place. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I've been physically active most of my adult life and have kept myself in good shape. Yet, as I've gotten older I've started having back issues. Someone recommended Pilates as a way to strengthen my core and suggested finding someone teaching the Classical Pilates Method. I found Vicki and I am so grateful I did. I've been taking private lessons for 2 years with her and, not only has Pilates helped with my back pain, Pilates has strengthened my abilities in all of my physical practices (running, yoga, skiing, hiking). I cannot recommend Body Springs Studio enough. read more

SO glad to be back in private Pilates sessions after my successful hip replacement. Social distancing and sanitation are of utmost importance at this studio and there are virtual classes as well as in person social distancing classes available. Much safer than a gym and great exercise! read more

Love coming to mat classes! Dolores is wonderful and gives personal attention, even during a group class to make sure you're getting the best out of your session and maximizing your potential. I always feel centered, balanced and relaxed after leaving. Pilates is by far the best thing I've ever done for my body, and was recommended by two physical therapists and a pain specialist for problems with my neck and back. Classes are affordable, but they also offer package deals for purchasing multiple classes at once. read more

I am so grateful to have found Body Springs. After a bad car accident, I spent 8 months recovering and lost all my muscle tone and core strength. My doctor cleared me to begin exercising again, but every time I went to the gym I ended up hurting myself. On the recommendation of my physical therapist, I decided to try private reformer classes. Let me tell you, if you think it's a waste of money or you know what you're doing because you've tried mat classes or DVD's, you are seriously mistaken! I've been doing both for years, and I was SO doing it wrong all this time. I've been lucky enough to work with Alia, and she is a BEAST. Not only is her physique seriously motivating, her method is very exacting, and she'll work you until you have it right. I find her style to be very calming and precise. I finished my first 10 sessions and promptly bought a second package. It's the best price in town, and I've seen really amazing results. My only critique would be that a few of the reformers are a little past their prime, but they have an extensive array of equipment, and the vibe is very peaceful (when it's not busy!). I highly recommend Body Springs. Tell them Vanessa sent you! read more

I have worked out and been active my whole life but have never felt as strong in my body control as I do after just a month of working with Vicki. Thank you!! read more

I've been a client here almost 10 years - since Vicki Hickerson taught mat classes at Clear Springs Yoga studio on Far West in '99. A former Rockette, she studied under the famous Romana before training in the Power Pilates method. All of Vicki's instructors are amazing. They are all truly wonderful people who can also kick your butt on a reformer. I did pregnancy Pilates until about 7 months here - it made me feel so strong. What an awesome way to keep in shape. read more

I have been practicing pilates for 7 years and took a few pilates classes here as well as got my pilates instructor certification from Body Springs. I think this would be a great studio for those new to pilates and perhaps fitness in general. The beginner mat classes have great instructors and the studio is friendly, clean and affordable. Check it out if you have always wanted to try pilates but have been hesitant. read more

This is an update to a review I did in 2008. I have been going to Body Springs for more than ten years now, and I absolutely love it. The instructors are extremely well trained, and they do a terrific job. I go to a mat class on Tuesdays and have a "duet" with one other student on Thursdays. I'm over 60 now, and if I hadn't been doing Pilates for the last decade, I can't imagine being as flexible and strong as I am now. I can tell you that I wouldn't have stayed with Body Springs were it not so warm and supportive. I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

Having practiced Pilates for close to 10 years with several different studios and instructors, this studio is one of the best. The owner, Vicki, provides superb foundational instruction and tailors her sessions to meet the needs of the client. A small and intimate setting for the person who wants Pilates sessions that allow you to focus and concentrate to get a full workout. I recommend Body Springs Studio without any reservations. read more

I love Pilates, so when I moved to Austin, I found Body Springs; all the instructors are great, but Vicki has such an extensive knowledge of the body and how to maintain strength, her classes are special. I have never felt as strong as I am now--thank you Body Springs! read more

I've done all of my Pilates training with Vicki, all mat levels & comprehensive. She's a wealth of knowledge & experience. I feel very fortunate to have been trained by her. read more

I lifted weights for many years, but started to search for something that would provide more training in flexibility and balance, while maintaining strength and definition - I found Pilates through research and talking to a number of folks that practiced Pilates - it has been awesome! Once I discovered Pilates, I started to search for studio and found Body Springs Pilates. Vicki, the founder, is a former Rockette and is amazing - attentive to form and doing things correctly and she looks awesome - very inspiring! If you think Pilates is easy and isn't a tough work out - think again! I know there are a number of men that take Pilates and swear that it enhances their gym weight work outs. It is a solid hour of movement that focuses on training your core strength and builds from there. This stuff kicks your butt and burns calories, especially as you gain more core strength and begin to add more challenging exercises. I'm also an avid walker and Pilates has allowed me to maintain better posture and form in my walking so I've been able to increase my speed and distance significantly. All the teachers there are fabulous and there is someone to fit every personality - try a class or an individual lesson - I think you'll be hooked! read more
