Pilates will be something that is part of my life for the long run.

Everyone was nice and welcoming. My instructor, Victoria, was fantastic. I arrived about 10 minutes early, and she took the time to walk me through how to use the machine and explained the types of movements and positions we'd be doing. I also let her know I had a small hamstring injury, and she was really attentive throughout the class. She gave me modifications to make certain movements more comfortable and checked in with me during class to make sure I was doing okay. The class was definitely challenging, but I felt like I could keep up. I really liked that there was no pressure or judgment if you needed to modify something to make it easier or challenge yourself a little more. It felt like a very supportive environment for different fitness levels. Sophia, the front desk staff was also very helpful. Since it was my first class, they even gave me a little welcome card, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, a great workout, great instructor, and really welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

A little background: I'm new to the area, and I did lagree for about 1.5 years when I lived near Arcadia. The machines there were the newer Megaformers, with black, white, and grey springs. At MDR, since they've been established longer in the South Bay, the machines are older generation, with red, orange, and yellow springs. They also have various footholds and handlebars set at different heights. Since I trained on the newer models, I'm still getting used to these older ones at MDR, and it can be a bit confusing. Sometimes I catch myself looking for footholds, or reaching for the wrong handlebar since I'm used to just one bar. That said, lagree is a fantastic full-body workout that targets your abs, legs, arms, and glutes. I still get a challenging, sweaty session every time, it is brutal in the best way. The instructors are helpful, and I don't mind the hands-on adjustments since that's how you actually learn and improve. I'm just not ready to commit to a long-term membership yet, given the South Bay pricing. Parking is plentiful, in the large shared lot with CVS and Bristol Farms.

Instead, you'll find this studio offers grounding, restorative, meditative, mind-body connection Pilates classes that leave you feeling happy and empowered after class. I did Pilates five times a week throughout both of my pregnancies (up until week 39!) , and I truly believe it kept me in the best shape possible leading up to labor and delivery. It also helped my body get back into shape quickly afterward. What I love most is how I feel after every class. Even though I'm not breaking a huge sweat or doing an incredibly difficult workout, I leave feeling energized spiritually, mentally, and physically. My body feels amazing--completely stretched, lengthened, balanced, and harmonized from head to toe. It feels restorative and healing rather than exhausting, which I've come to love (especially as a marathoner). If you're looking for a hard, high-intensity, cardio-style Pilates class, this probably isn't that. But if you're looking for Pilates that grounds you, restores your body, helps you heal, and leaves you feeling genuinely GOOD, this is it.

Although I had taken many Pilates classes before my diagnosis, I knew I needed to go back to the basics and work with someone who was experienced, patient, and compassionate. As a former fitness enthusiast, the thought of returning to a gym or a high-intensity exercise class felt overwhelming. My goal was to rebuild my strength, regain muscle, and improve my coordination. After my very first private lesson, I knew I had found the right studio. It has been amazing to see how quickly I've made progress. Tracy emphasizes proper form and technique over speed, ensuring every exercise is done correctly. Her extensive knowledge of fitness, movement, and overall wellness is an added bonus. Even the small group classes feel like private training sessions because of the individualized attention she gives each student. If you're looking for a Pilates instructor who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your progress, I can't recommend Tracy highly enough. She has played an important role in helping me feel strong, confident, and at home in my body again.
