My friend and I recently attended a Reformer 1/2 class with Nancy Bright and left feeling humiliated and embarrassed. She was aggressive and dismissive, especially toward students unfamiliar with classical pilates, but familiar with contemporary pilates, which she deems as "not real pilates." Instructions were not explained, and solely used terminology. When we didn't immediately understand, she scolded us, showed frustration, and PHYSICALLY FORCED our bodies into the positions she wanted. These positions were often uncomfortable and borderline painful, with no attempts or offers of modifications. She even made a remark that she knew she was "manhandling" us. Egregiously, when she was unhappy with my plank and was frustrated, I did not understand how she wanted me to fix it, she SLAPPED MY BUTT REPEATEDLY and repeated what she wanted me to do as if that would suddenly make me understand. She even admitted to slapping previous students' butts to "get their attention." As someone new to Pilates, I felt unsafe, embarrassed, and extremely humiliated. I had high expectations based on positive reviews, but this experience has left me so unsettled that I will not be returning.

GENERAL RTR Pilates is a fantastic addition to the heart of…read moreVienna! The studio is located in a cozy, vibrant part of Northern Virginia, offering a variety of classes that provide a solid workout every time. The instructors are friendly and attentive, ensuring everyone can participate safely, whether managing an injury or catering to specific needs. I particularly enjoyed classes with Sheri, Benedicte, and Alyssa Gail. Their classes were not only challenging but also fun, creating a positive and constructive atmosphere that made each session fly by. SCHEDULING The RTR app is user-friendly and easy to navigate, allowing you to track both completed and upcoming classes. You can book classes weeks in advance at any RTR location, not just Vienna. Currently, early morning classes at 6:15 a.m. are only offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As an early riser, I'm excited to see more early morning options as the studio expands! CANCELLATION There's no penalty for canceling a class 12 hours in advance. However, if you cancel within 12 hours of the class start time, you'll lose the class credit, and if you don't show up, you'll lose the class credit and be charged a fee. The cancellation process is quick and easy through the app. CHECK-IN PROCESS The check-in process is simple with an iPad at the studio entrance. For first-timers, the instructor will give an overview of the equipment before class begins. BATHROOMS The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. They are located down the hall and shared with neighboring offices and studios. PARKING There are about 15-20 parking spots next to the building. Additional parking is available a couple of blocks away, with street parking options as well.

My first class was a prenatal series, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and it made me feel welcomed into the studio community. The best part is the owner she is extremely knowledgeable and personable but most of all informative, always attuned to the individual needs of each class, and is just a wealth of knowledge of her pilates expertise. From Profesional ballet dancers to new moms this class. I've seen an older community of women who were so strong and ushered me in to challenging movements alongside given such encouragement.

I love their staff and how hard they push their students to grow and dig a little deeper while still focusing on proper form. I love the wide variety of classes they offer and the fact that they have the occasional special and even offer some free classes on the plaza. I love that they hold community events and seem to genuinely care about their students. To be honest, I haven't ever found such a feeling of community at any of the other Pilates or Yoga studios I have been to. Fairfax is very lucky to have such a wonderful studio and I am very glad I stuck it out through that first barre class. Since then, I have had so much fun going through the intro equipment classes, getting to know different teachers, fine tuning movements, and getting pointers on how to take my practice to the next level. I have also thoroughly enjoyed taking advantage of the Dog Days of Summer package they offered in August and taking unlimited barre classes. A+

The group classes at the Pilates Room are small enough to give me the personal attention I need. The instructors have SUCH great attitudes!! I've had unfortunate lessons elsewhere where I felt I was being talked down to (it's tough for a novice), while here I feel like family. The massages are great too! I'm used to asking for more pressure just about everywhere I go, but when I asked this of my favorite masseuse here, Daniella, I had to tell her to back off! Seriously the first time I've said this during a massage! Can't recommend this place enough. The owner, Janine, has seriously put together the most talented, attentive staff I've come across. Keeping things small has given her the ability to exercise complete quality control. Go check it out, I promise you won't be disappointed, and you'll feel great after whatever session you attend.

Did I get lucky! I've been going now approx 4 weeks. I have learned so much from the obviously experienced and educated instructors.

Classes are small allowing the instructor to correct form and encourage each of us; so we get the most for our effort. I'm working hard, learning so much, and being challenged to do each "move" better by dedicated instructors who make the entire experience so fun and enjoyable. Fabulous!
