This program was initially 4 months, I then signed up to continue for the full 6 months, then another 6 months because it is that helpful! I cannot believe the improvements I see in my mental health, physical health, eating habits, exercise and movement habits and best of all, my whole mindset! I used to get so stuck in an All-or-Nothing mindset with health/wellness and this program has absolutely helped me to transform that! I have also gotten super close with other participants, who I actually call close friends now! I 100% recommend this program, whatever your health and wellness goals are, it is so individualized and was really molded for each of us differently to meet our own needs. Give yourself this gift!

Julia is a patient teacher and very conscious of what exercises we do in order to deliver the most effective sessions for my overall movement. My 1:1's with Julia have tremendously helped my ongoing back and neck pain due to the nature of my job which consists of sitting for hours at a time. I highly recommend Pilates with Julia for anyone seeking a workout to improve overall movement and body awareness. The sessions are also great for me because I get 1:1 attention and work at my own pace without the anxiety of keeping up with others in a class.

I feel like she pushes me just enough to feel it for a couple days but not to where I am limping afterward. Her spot in Brewerytown is beautiful with a huge arched window taking up nearly an entire wall, and she has all the Pilates equipment that I love to use (Reformer, Cadillac etc). It's also an added bonus that her cat is really handsome and sweet! I would (and do) recommend Kritin very highly!

I've been working with Kristin since the beginning of the year as a recommendation from my doctor…read more Years of cheerleading had worn down my joints and I needed to look into a lower impact but still effective exercise. Kristin worked with my physical therapist to formulate a training plan for me that would slowly build up strength while carefully avoiding problematic areas. I didn't want to give up other physical activities completely so she gives me exercises to do at home or at the gym that still allow me to keep my routine and still get stronger in the right areas. Her studio is welcoming, very relaxing, and I love that she incorporates a little bit of breathing practice into the workout so I can learn to connect the physical with my breath. Finding exercises that utilize my muscles and avoid my joints has been a slow and steady challenge but I always leave Kristin's feeling stronger, stretched, and balanced.

Howard is a great trainer: he is knowledgeable and experienced, and passionate about well-being in…read morea holistic sense. He really cares about what happens in those hours outside of the gym, too. In addition to focusing on strengthening and physical fitness, we talk about nutrition and sleep, managing stress, and mindfulness. This approach has made a huge difference: I have more energy and feel stronger and happier about my body than I have in years. I was dealing with a shoulder injury so progress was slow and carefully staged at first. Howard was very interested in what my goals were--but he was not afraid to challenge and push me--communicating with my physical therapist to provide the best exercise regimen. I will never forget the day I could bench press 20 pounds again. Howard's reaction was excitement and sheer delight. Now, go onto YouTube and check out "325 lbs Bench, Howard Aaron" and watch him break the International Powerlifting Association record for the 60-64 year old men's division. Yet his pride in my small (but meaningful) breakthrough was whole-hearted and genuine. Howard's dedication to his own fitness and his amazing accomplishments have inspired me to reevaluate the limits I have been setting for myself--physically and mentally!

After each of the three 60-minute deep tissue sessions I have had at the studio (1 with Briana, 2 with Laura), I was given plenty of time to return myself "to earth", drink a cup of water, and ask questions. Laura has also shown me a few simple and useful light neck and back stretches to help ease tension. (I have found that it's best to request appointments at least several days in advance, and have a few options of date/time in mind. Don't expect same day appointments. There is only 1 table, and 1 therapist working at a time. I'd recommend either therapist.)

I took my very first pole dance class at this studio and it was enough to get me hooked on the…read moresport (yeah I said it!). The owner, Barb, is a former exotic dancer and the official House Mom at Club Onyx. Needless to say her pole skills are tried and true. The staff there is SUPER friendly and encouraging even to newbies who haven't the grace of a newborn baby cow. When you go here be prepared to work. The pole classes will more than likely have brand new people as well as advanced and Barb will encourage you to try everything at least once. I found myself doing things that I would've never imagined in my first class (like inversions!). Learned the walk, a couple of spins, and then tried (in vain) to climb the pole. I found in my first class that my arms and core were much to weak for many of the maneuvers but it was a great workout nonetheless. The only drawbacks I can say is that with this style of teaching you'll either feel really inspired by your lack of skill and get a great desire to learn or you'll end up really discouraged that you're not at the level of others and forgo the sport altogether. The methods of teaching here are very "watch me, now you try" which isn't effective for everyone. In addition to pole instruction classes they offer Abs class, Booty Blast (learn to make it clap), and various other sexy fitness courses. After my first class my body hurt like never before. Being a former competitive swimmer, and short distance runner, this pain was still new to me. I literally couldn't lift my hands directly above my head for 2 weeks. It's an awesome workout and a lot of fun.

When I am paying for a private session and can't get to the equipment & witnessing people with bad form because they won't limit class sizes to something one instructor can realistically oversee, its time to move on.
