    The Pilates Loft is located inside East Meets West Yoga (Buffalo Foundry location). Parking can be…read morea little wonky so you might want to get there early (this is a shared space so lots of competition for parking, but generally you can find something). When I entered I was greeted by the EMW front desk staff and directed back to the Pilates room. The room itself is quite beautiful and well appointed. There is some Pilates equipment (forgive me that I don't know the name of all of it), but the course that I was taking focused on mat work. There are plenty of mats available if you don't have one. Larry was our instructor and he was outstanding. He walked the class through a series of warm ups and then the Pilates exercises. Larry was clearly an expert in anatomy and physiology, which really impressed me. He walked us through each exercise and made sure that we were all attending to proper form. Since the class was small, Larry was able to give lots of individual attention (which I loved). After class was over, he checked in with me to ensure that everything went well and that I felt comfortable in the class. I even forgot my water bottle after class and he ran it out to me in the parking lot. Overall, I would recommend the Pilates loft if you are looking to get friendly and personal Pilates instruction in a location where you could also get your yoga on. The workout wasn't as intense as I generally like, but keep in mind tha this was only my second Pilates class and I'm sure that with time it can be intensified.

    I am a huge fan of pilates regardless, but was blown away by this class and the space here. The…read moreinstructors know what they are doing and are fantastic at giving you no-touch, descriptive instruction that completely changes your form. I feel like I actually understand what I am doing when I'm in class here. Wonderful open loft/factory style space with large windows. Max I've seen in class here is four people, so you can really get the customized attention you might want. Parking is a bit of a pickle, as the spaces are two deep and you may get blocked in by someone at a longer yoga session. So just be aware when parking. If you know you have to leave in a hurry you can let the front desk know and they'll stick a cone behind your car.

    I reached out to Move Wysely to set up personal training sessions as a completely blind client…read more From the beginning, I communicated clearly, shared my previous positive experiences with trainers, and explained the simple adaptations that would make training successful. At first, Emily seemed open to working together, and I spent several days making arrangements, including coordinating orientation & mobility training so I could learn the best walking route to the gym. However, after I provided additional information to help her feel more confident, she abruptly backed out, saying she didn't feel comfortable training me -- despite my reassurances and past history of success in fitness environments. I'm posting this so that others with disabilities are aware that Move Wysely may not be prepared or willing to work with clients requiring any level of adaptation. If you are blind or otherwise require a trainer who is flexible and willing to learn, you may want to consider other options. I was disappointed by how this was handled, especially after not only putting in significant time and effort myself, but also involving my O&M instructor, who researched routes and adjusted her schedule to help me prepare. I hope Move Wysely takes this experience seriously and better prepares in the future to serve all potential clients.

    Emily is hands-down the best trainer I've ever worked with. She takes a holistic approach that…read moremakes every session feel personalized to my goals, lifestyle, and even my mood that day. She's quick to adapt if I'm dealing with an injury, always coaches with compassion, and brings such a positive, infectious energy to every workout. Honestly, it sometimes feels like she cares more about my health than my doctor does! If you're looking for someone who truly listens, supports, and empowers you--Emily is it.

    I joined 9 months ago and really dedicated myself. I purchased an unlimited membership and made a…read moregoal of going to 5 classes a week. This was fairly easy to accomplish, especially since they had early morning classes. They recently changed the morning instructors and schedule which threw my schedule off. It is challenging when the first class of the morning many mornings starts late. It wasn't always like that, but has been lately. My honest feedback is that most of the instructors are very good, they really help you get to your next level. There have been classes where instead of instructing the instructor just keeps repeating her direction rather than actually assisting the person who isn't doing the move correctly. But based on the glances from the long time attendees this is just to be expected sometimes. The classes are good, but don't try to go to some of the instructors if you are newer to Pilates. The other challenge is that they 12 reformers into a small space. That means there are times when class time is spent rearranging the room. Most other studios only have 6-8 reformers per room. There is a room for private lessons, but that isn't frequently used from my perspective (I could be wrong) which would make the space more functional if used to expand the class studio. The other thing is that the way the studio is laid out if you are on one of the reformers towards the entrance of the studio throughout the year at various times you will be blinded by the sun. Something a simple solar shade on the door would fix, but every time I suggested it I was told not to hold my breath for that. All in all, despite the shortcomings, I continued to go until I moved and started working out of the area because I really liked the classes. They offered a large number of early classes, and the unlimited membership price was reasonable, as long as I made it to 20 classes a month, which most of the time I did. If they were to open another studio in that was convenient to my new location I would consider joing it again.

    I am prefacing this by saying that I have being going to Club Pilates just shy of a year and have…read morefound my groove and love it. But I want to give a fair review for all others that might be curious. Before I came to club pilates, I had a few years of foundational pilates from smaller reformer studios as well as private instruction. I did the 30 minute Intro class to get a feel for the studio and decide if I would like it or not. From there, I signed up for an unlimited membership and it has been worth it for me. I have an extremely flexible schedule with a lot of availability, therefore it makes it very easy for me to get signed up for the classes that I want. I can't speak on anyone else's experience getting into classes since it has been easy for me. I have taken classes from every instructor and have my preferences for sure, however I think if I was BRAND NEW to pilates, this would not be the place for me at all. I find success here because I can follow verbal cues easily since I have that foundation. I have my preferences of instructors because I have taken classes with them and I know what I am getting into. Suzanne- CLASSICAL. No music, lights on. Can come across as "strict" or intimidating to some but I would describe her as passionate and strict because she needs to be. She does not want anyone getting hurt and therefore she takes doing movements CORRECTLY, very seriously. She often isn't the best at time management because she is trying to ensure that everyone is class is doing things correctly. Angela- Awesome energy. During the school year she doesn't teach as much but she is extremely helpful. I really think that her levels of class are appropriate. She ensures that anyone who might be new gets more of her focus and she often tries to do the movements along with everyone to know the timing and that she isn't killing anyone. Chanel- Lots of energy. Music is great (loud). No lights. She is FAST PACED; no real breaks in between. She will change springs for everyone and get extra equipment as needed so that there isn't time wasted doing that. However, sometimes that's when I need a rest. I get a GREAT, hard workout in with her but I struggle in her level 1 flow classes. Sometimes I find that she won't give a full cue IMO? Like she will explain a movement but miss certain details and then offer corrections, whereas maybe if we were told X,Y,Z from the start, corrections might not be needed. If I were trying to dip my toe into the world of pilates, she might scare me off a bit. Her center and balance classes are lovely. Vanita- Tough but great. I can't speak to a lot of experience with her because I am not an early morning girl and that is mainly when she teaches. I have taken about 3 classes with her and again, level 1 flow- a little more tough if I was inexperienced/out of shape. Vanessa- I don't want to play favorites but we just vibe. She taught my intro class and I wasn't sure I liked her energy but the more classes I have taken with her, the more she is my pick to go back to each week. I think her biological knowledge gives her such a leg up. The way she explains movements or answers questions is incredibly helpful. Telling you exactly where you should feel it and how. She isn't afraid to correct you no matter how long you have been in classes. I think sometimes instructors feel so friendly with people that they feel awkward giving corrections and Vanessa won't do that. I think another thing I really think elevates her is that she gives adaptions for everyone. If you're more advanced she will give ways to level up but always encourages you to meet yourself where you are. Starts at the base and then gives add on options. Her center and balance classes are wonderful. Basically a full 50 minute stretch class where she asks what needs to be targeted and helps everyone with what they request along with a little yoga type meditation. Bethany- Limited to Wednesday instruction but very smart and good at her job. She knows her regular people well and knows how to push a little further or pull back a bit. Quiet spoken so music is usually a bit quieter so that she doesn't have to scream. Flow classes can be tough, but I would say usually appropriately done. Maddie- Such a sweetheart, great energy. Music is always upbeat and she really wants to work people out. Sometimes her level 1 flow can be tough, similar to other instructors where if it was my first time or I was new, I would definitely struggle. Abbey- We just do not click. This is my personal opinion on her classes but she is not for me. I think she struggles with understanding the different levels of classes and it makes me feel unsafe. If I was brand new to pilates I would most definitely not take classes with her. Again, that's just my opinion. It hasn't stopped me from going here. At this point there are a few new instructors, Erin, Mary, Katie that I don't feel I can give total feedback on because I don't have enough experience with.

    This is a new studio in Orchard Park. They use Megaformers here. Think Pilates reformers on…read moresteroids. I think there are 8 Megaformers in the lovely studio space. Parking is in back and the entrance is right there too, super convenient. Going in there is a beautiful reception area with comfortable seating. Sign In is easy. You can come dressed in workout clothes or change in one of the three large restrooms. Two of them that I saw had nice large showers as well. I didn't see bath towels so assume you bring those. I'd suggest bath mats in those rooms though as the floors will be slippery when wet. The class itself is a timed 40 min. Each day the sequence is different, I'm not sure if this is a national program that all places follow (like orange theory) or if the owner is making them up daily. But they will be different. This is not a chain so I imagine she's making up the routines daily. She holds a stopwatch and each exercise is done at your own pace, not by rep numbers. The idea is sloooow movements. And she will encourage you to go slooooower. So it's all about that movement and not relaxing or resting for that movement period. It's a full body workout, all low impact, but depending on how hard you work it could result in a raised heart rate. If done right it will likely result in some sore muscles, many you may not have felt for a long time. The movements are designed to hit areas you won't get from running or weight lifting. I enjoyed it a lot. I felt the exercises during and after the session. You'll get results quickly if you come here regularly (2,3 times a week). This is a nice addition to the options in Orchard Park and the Buffalo area. 2020

    I heard about this method of exercise and was looking for a different workout for core strength. I…read morehave a slight amount of arthritis in my knees, so I wanted something that wouldn't cause pain. This workout was absolutely perfect. The instructor assisted me with how to properly stand/pull/bend/push/contort so that the proper muscles were being utilized to their fullest potential. The class flew by - we were busy working every moment and didn't really have time to think about a drink of water (I did pause to wipe sweat out of my eyes). I took my first class last night, and this morning I went to my regular work out and I couldn't believe how many muscles in unusual areas (such as in my stomach) ached. I highly recommend this Megaformer class!!
