I had never done Pilates before I walked into the Bodykind studio with my Groupon in hand. I hoped…read moreto develop some strength and flexibility that would help me with my persistent lower back pain. Being overweight, I was more than a little insecure about how I looked, but I was also desperate to feel better--and fortunately, that got me in the door. Because once I started working out at Bodykind, I developed a whole new relationship with my body and experienced the kind of validation that comes with working out with a small group and a dedicated coach. When my budget permits, I indulge in a private session, which takes that feeling to an even higher level. Pilates changed the shape of my body like no other workout I've done and I'm no longer in pain. Perhaps more importantly, the love and expertise with which owner Jenn McCandless teaches is so empowering, I walk out of each class standing taller in every way. If you are even considering checking out Pilates, or looking for a new studio, look no further. Bodykind is wonderful.

Rachel is amazing! After the governor issued the stay at home order, she immediately, and I mean…read moreinstantly, worked out a way to continue her classes online!

Keep in mind that this is a small one-studio business and NOT a gym. There are (I am assuming quite deliberately) NO mirrors. The interior is very plain...no distractions. The music selection is great and rotated regularly. Rachel is a great dancer and is always smiling. The 9am class is primarily an older group and very welcoming to all ages and body types. The cost of classes is a bit more than a gym membership, but Rachel has a great new client special to try it out before committing.

I can't believe I hadn't reviewed this place! I went to this studio for over a year and loved it!…read moreNow I live in Santa Fe and am so sorry we don't have a similar place to practice pilates.

I was shocked and honestly pretty offended, I don't think I look like I was about to rob the place or leer at her students I'm pretty sure I just look like someone who's interested in doing Pilates... DEFINITELY won't be attempting to go back! If you're in the market for megaformers I'd recommend fit Buddha instead. They treat you like family not like a nuisance.

My 3 stars is a combo review and I'd go 3 1/2 if I could but I can't. :-) My instructor was…read moreKelsie and I have 5 stars for her. I am not a fan of the space itself. It's kinda cramped and there are always multiple trainers and clients there, usually privates with some duets, and of course that means the instructors are constantly talking to tell the clients what to do. And yes this is normal, BUT the acoustics are terrible so the room -- it's just one room -- is always loud. Which can make it difficult to hear one's instructor. Which is frustrating. They have two Cadillacs, which is fine, but for some unknown reason they decided to place them right next to one another instead of on opposite sides of the room. So very often you hear the instructor who's NOT talking to you better than the one who IS.
