Sorting through the numerous Pilates Studios in Boulder can be a challenging endeavor. What distinguishes Boulder Bodyworks for me is the noticeable care, intent, and passion exhibited by everyone in the studio. Having commenced with a 3-pack of private Pilates sessions, I've discovered comfort in the outstanding skills and kindness displayed by all the instructors. The classes accommodate various skill levels, and I feel at ease booking sessions with any of them. read more

I went to Boulder Bodyworks several years ago and had a great massage and was lucky enough to get in there today on very little notice. I was able to have Renee give me a massage and it was great work. I went in because my hips were really sore and tight. She was able to work out the tightness and I felt the change immediately as I walked out of the office. Great energy and great body work and I will be back again! read more

I am specifically a fan of Camsie. She is an EXCELLENT teacher with vast bodily awareness and knowledge. My husband first encountered her to heal from an old shoulder injury (hockey). He liked her so much I went to her for post-partum help and have not been disapointed. The space is nice and everyone is friendly as well. Only downside, which can also be a pro is the 24 hour cancellation policy. If you have kids, et al it can be hard to commit/be charged for last minute cancellation but I also see the pro in having committed participants... read more

A little addition on 5/17/12: I am copying my review for David Schwartz here on the Boulder Bodyworks page so people can find it here, too. I've been seeing him for almost 2 years now, and it's still the best healing experience I could ask for. I am so, so grateful to have found this practitioner. He has a long wait list...and he's worth it. Previous review from Aug 2010: W.O.W. I've been around the block with doctors, chiros, naturopaths, acupuncturists, endocrinologists, shamans, and weirdos. I have felt that I am on some epic Zelda-like quest to find my One True Healer, someone who I deeply trust to develop a long-term relationship with my body, which happens to be quite precious to me. I have looked low and high, been across the country and even to another continent, and spent [literally] thousands of dollars looking for a doctor-healer-magician (you know what I mean) who can both address my acute health concerns and also my larger, get-to-the-root-of-the-problem-stop-giving-me-a-%& *$ing-band-aid-pallative-beotch questions about optimum health and the conditions for thriving. (I hope you know what I mean there.) Well, ladies and gentlemen, halle-freaking-lujah, I think I found him! And he's an osteopath. A GOOD ONE. This was only my first time seeing him, but sometimes, when you know, you just know. (if I go back a 2nd time and it turns out he suddenly sucks, I'll do my Yelpish duty and let you know. But I doubt it). David did a thorough intake...has incredible presence and compassion....was subtle when he needed to be and overt when he needed to be....and by the way, HAS THE HANDS OF GOD. My friend who recommended him to me said that to me, ad I was all like, "Well, we'll just see about that." Oh, we saw. THE LIGHT. Veni, vidi, vici! As soon as he touched me I felt safe, completely trusted him, and was immediately VERY grateful. He also taught me a LOT about my body. I was absolutely inspired by how much he knows about the human body, and how much he could tell about mine with a simple touch. He moved my sacrum back into place, and I've been singing in my head all day: "The tail bone's connected to the.....head bone!" I've never felt so much of my spine so alive in my life! I'm so excited to go back. Be forewarned--he has a several-month wait list. However, I called this morning and was able to get in today on a cancellation (which I now consider something of an act of God), so anything is possible..... I don't give such praise lightly...but he is that good that I had to take time out of my muy busy day to sing it from the Yelp-tops. Which is *also* I something I don't do lightly. read more

Renee and Kelly and the staff at Boulder Bodyworks are fantastic. I've been going there for four years - when I started I could barely move from years of back pain. Over the years they have improved my flexibility and strength, allowing me start bicycling and lose fifty pounds. Last year I rode the classic Alp cols, including a half dozen Tour de France stages. Everyone talks about life changing experiences, but Boulder Bodyworks has truly changed my life. In addition, the studio has a kind of Buddhist peacefulness about it that is really appealing. If you are looking for massage, yoga or Pilates - or you just want to get in shape, this is the place. read more

My physical therapist recommended this studio to help me gain and maintain core strength. Since I started attending regularly my back is far less sore and I move more freely. I love this place because there are no fitness gimmicks, just really knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming instructors. The space is also beautiful. All Pilates classes are pricey but I consider these a lifetime investment. read more

I can't rave about this place enough. Boulder Bodyworks is the real deal, with quality instructors, a diverse range of classes, and a beautiful new space. The Pilates reformer and equipment classes are all "small group" or smaller (you can also take private or duo sessions), so you're never in class with more than 5 people. More than just making you "feel the burn", they really take the time to explain the positions, and ensure that you are working through the exercises with proper technique. Many of the teachers not only have extensive experience in Pilates, but also have backgrounds in other movement modalities (such as ballet, the Franklin Method, etc). This all contributes to a holistic understanding of how people should move. The online scheduling system is easy to use, and the center is located adjacent to the Skip bus's Yarmouth stop. Thank you, Boulder Bodyworks! read more

With many decades of classes, teachers and coaches in my life none have compared with the excellent instruction and care I receive from the teachers at Boulder Bodyworks. All the teachers are gifted, but Tambre Rassmussen is for me a miracle teacher. She helped me recover more than 100% from a hip replacement. 3 years later and I am stronger and my posture is better than it has ever been. I have days now when I notice I have no pain, anywhere. If you are an elder, I am 65, almost 66, you often have pain somewhere. Tambre has taught me how to fix myself with exercises and simple home equipment. Decades of massage and chiropractic care, which made me feel better for a little while did not teach me how to help myself. Boulder Bodyworks is my treat to myself. I recommend it highly. read more

Can't say enough good things about Boulder Bodyworks. I've been going to them for years and have happily recommended them to friends who have also had great experiences. The Pilates Studio has exceptionally high quality staff for both rehabilitation and exercise - they really know the human body, Pilates, and how to teach people of all different abilities and limitations. The osteopaths are phenomenal as well. Everyone is super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, talented and compassionate. Prices are steep, but well worth it. read more

Small classes with experienced teachers. It is almost like having a private session. Their attention to the individual is exquisite.

I have left a review, but neglected to mention that Boulder Bodyworks also has the very best therapeutic massage therapists I have ever found in Boulder. Christina and Kimberley have both worked on my back and neck with fabulous results, even when I have been injured. They are both very skilled, experienced, and wonderful healers in their own right! I am grateful to find everything I need at this amazing center for self-healing and rehabilitation! Thank you! read more

I have been working with the Physical Therapist at Boulder Bodyworks since early 2006 following a car accident. I have attended pilates and yoga classes, enjoyed acupuncture and massage, and see their Osteopath regularly. The transformation in my overall health and strength is remarkable. My pain levels have significantly decreased. The team they have put together is amazing, wonderful, enjoyable, and kind. I am so thankful to have found them. read more

This place is amazing! It is very rare that you find a place that takes a multi-discipline look at your health. The physical therapists, pilates instructors and manual therapists are all extremely knowledgable. They use a team approach to help out each client by comparing notes about each client and the best way to address their needs. From high performance athletes to your everyday person trying to better themselves, Boulderbodyworks has it all. I highly recommend this place. read more

I've become a big fan of this studio since relocating to Boulder. I've been taking pilates classes in various cities while traveling the past couple years and Kelly Athey is one of the best pilates trainers that I have come across. I have also been getting massages and rolfing sessions from Kimberly Loeb and would recommend her highly for both! I had back surgery a couple years ago and was just starting to get back into shape when I got to Boulder. Kelly and Kimberly have helped me tremendously to get back to doing activities that I never thought I would be doing again....like snowboarding. Love this studio! read more
