I came with some friends to one of Katharine's classes, and although I've practiced yoga and been…read moreto different types of yoga classes, this was my first pilates class ever. It was awesome! Some of us (there were five) were veterans, having done this for years, and there I was, with no experience. Katharine managed to succinctly describe all the stretches and movements in such a way that I'm sure wouldn't feel repetitive or unnecessary for the experienced people but which gave me specific instructions regarding what I needed to do and how I needed to do it. The studio is clean, relaxing, and very inviting, and Katharine is very friendly. She is so interested in making sure that you get exactly what you need from the practice. I live about 45 minutes away, otherwise I'm certain I would become a regular! This is a real gem of a place, and I'm so pleased to know about it.

I was excited to read about the opening of this studio. When I walked in, I was greeted by friendly…read morestaff and a clean, inviting atmosphere. I often do yoga exercises, but wanted to really challenge my core strength. The Advanced Pilates "fire" group class I took did just that. I let the instructor know before class that I endure a lot of pain from scoliosis and how certain exercises cause neck pain, and she provided safe and effective moves that left me feeling rejuvenated and without any pain. I've never felt that good after a chiropractic adjustment! I will definitely be going back.

Lucky for me, the other studio didn't call me back until after I booked 3 privates at Fusion. After my first session, I signed up for 2 more, for a total of 5 privates while I was in town. I've had a lot of private training and private pilates classes, and Amy is one of the best. Amy is compassionate, knowledgeable and a true teacher. She was mindful of my issues and gave me so many take-aways for me to use on my own. She also used some amazing heated props that helped loosen muscles and bring awareness to specific areas. My husband teased me that I would move to Asheville to continue working with Amy. Everyone should have this kind of training.

Book a class or a private session - I'm not being dramatic when I say it will change your life. Mat or equipment Pilates, even gyrotonic. Super cool place. They offer teacher training/continuing education too! No matter what you have going on in your body - post natal? Spinal fusion? Hip replacement? - you'll have an incredible experience. A mark of true professionals really tailoring your session to you. Thanks for everything, Fusion!

These have been a combination of group class, duets, and private sessions. Why? Because he's probably one of the best at what he does. He's spent years as an instructor and truly understands how the body works. My sessions have been geared toward what is uniquely happening in this body - not just teaching to a class. What that means is that I am challenged in a way that is supportive and not defeating. He's also helped me with rehab after being kicked by horse and spending 6 months in a cast. In case you're wondering - Yes, you can do pilates in a cast! It kept me active and encouraged mobility. Highly, highly recommend seeing him - I've never felt stronger!
