I started with one mat class pass at the end of July and really enjoyed that first class, so I decided to get the monthly pass for August... and then I decided to get another one for September. I love that the mat classes are at noon twice a week and that they just added an evening class and a weekend class. I will probably never make it to the Saturday class because I don't live in Pioneer Square, but the other days are perfect. Two lunch-time classes a week and one after-work class! I don't have any experience with the apparatus classes or private classes, but the group mat classes are great and I love the ladies who usually teach them (Christi and Whitney). There are usually 3-6 students present and the instructor always does a great job helping/adjusting anyone who is struggling with anything. Sometimes, they have two instructors present so one can focus on leading the class and the other can walk around the room and help the students. I also like that sometimes we just use the mats and our bodies and other times we also use small weights or the Pilates Ring or other things. All of the equipment is available at the studio, so you just have to bring yourself and some socks. The other pretty cool thing is they work on different parts of your body each time and while there are many standard exercises, it seems like we do something new each time. I've actually been "getting aware" of muscles I never knew about because it seems like a new muscle is sore after each class. They have a space for your belongings and two changing rooms, but no shower in the studio. The bathroom that's shared with the other businesses on the third floor (or is that the second floor bathroom? I'll have to check!) does have a shower, but I have never tried using it. Most people just get dressed quickly and go back to work. Love, love, love. Can't wait to take another class!

I decided it was time to give it another shot after hearing from a friend about her experience at Kinesia. After attending a few Apparatus Fundamentals classes, I can now say I am a fan of pilates. I have only had Chrystl as an instructor and I enjoy her classes. She uses great verbal cues and will hands on correct you when needed. The apparatus fundamentals class will go over the basics of using the reformer, wall units and other props. I have been working on improving my posture and strengthening my shoulders/upper back due to the joys of working at a desk. This class, with Chrystl's guidance, has helped me improve and reorient myself with those muscles. Apparatus Fundamentals is a wonderful class to those new to pilates or for those who want to refine their technique. I may try their other classes one day but I really enjoy this specific class.

It's not cheap, but it's life-changing…read more I'll be honest, Pilates lessons are my biggest expense after rent and my student loans. But the amount my body has changed since I began lessons here a year and a half ago has convinced me that classical Pilates is entirely worthwhile. My athletic background is mostly running and gym workouts, but I'm on my feet all day, and so I was interested in improving my posture to avoid back problems down the road. My back was extremely arched, and I was starting to have problems after I walked for long distances. I work mostly with Adrianna, but I've worked with pretty much everyone in the studio. The newer instructors are sometimes a gamble, but it really depends on what you're looking for in a workout. Don't write the studio off just because you don't get good vibes from your first instructor. I prefer Adrianna because she's committed to Joseph Pilates' vision in its purest form, without all the frills and fancy stuff. I also enjoy working with Regina, Clare, Sara(h?), and Chris. I need to point out that I was anxious to start Pilates because I was worried the studio would be populated with stick-thin, beautiful, pretentious, rich former dancers and trophy wives. There are a few, but most people are down-to-earth and average. Because you work with mostly the same people each week, getting to know the folks I work out with has been one of my favorite parts of Pilates. After you start with a few private sessions, you can move on to semi-privates and mat classes. I stayed with privates for quite a while, and I'm glad I did because I feel like I have a much better grasp on the reasons behind why the exercises are performed the way they are. I also feel much more independent in my semi-privates and mat classes, which gives me more bang for my buck and makes up for the initial money-sink. The front desk staff is generally friendly, and their bookkeeping/scheduling is always spot on. On a practical note, their facilities are clean and the showers are helpful for when I'm done with my morning or pre-dinner classes! I've also done Pilates at various studios in Michigan and Hawaii, and I would strongly recommend that even if you don't come to Metropolitan Pilates, you look into a classical Pilates studio. Enjoy, and don't be afraid to get started!

I like working out. I like sweating, I like my heart beating fast, and I like being able to eat…read morejust a little bit extra. I am always up for trying a new way to exercise. I know Pilates is popular but I was never one that wanted to do DVDs. If I was going to try this I want to use those reformer machines that sort of look like torture devices. My chance came when my mom and I were at a silent auction. Nothing offered sparked either of our interest then I saw a three private lessons package and begged my mom to bid on it. To my delight she won. Soon I was on my way to strengthening and lengthening my body. I had to leave a message to make an appointment but was immediately called back. I didn't have an instructor preference since I had never been there before and with the time and date that worked for me Kelsi ended up being the instructor I was paired with. Metropolitan Pilates is located in University Village next to the Gene Juarez salon. It is open and airy, clean, and bright. The front desk woman was very nice and pointed me in the direction of the locker room. Towels and a hair dryer are provided in the locker room and locks are there for your convenience. After I dropped off my things I made my way to the waiting area. Kelsi, with a genuine smile and a hand extended, met me. We immediately got on the machines. Kelsi was patient with me as I typically run, lift weights, and do boot camp classes which is the complete opposite of this regime and I found it hard, at first, to utilize different parts of my body to do moves I had one before. Lots of extensions and leg lifts and bending and rolling and slowly engaging muscles. All fun and harder than they looked but the challenge was worth it. Every time I left my session with Kelsi I stood a little taller and my muscles were stretched and longer. Although I wasn't sweating buckets or panting uncontrollably I felt that I got a great work out just a different type which I later realized, my body desperately needed. I recommend Metropolitan Pilates to anyone. The studio is lovely the staff is friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I had a great experience and I hope to come back soon!

After walking past this place numerous times, I checked their website and liked that they only…read moreoffer private and semi-private sessions. The space is small, but very well equipped and never crowded since they limit how many people are in the studio at a time. I've never seen more than 4 people working out at a time. I have been going twice a week for almost 6 months now and time has flown by! It's probably the first time in my life that I have been this consistent with going to the same gym for the same trainers. I never have trouble scheduling for the time slots I want and I can schedule a week at a time - they're pretty flexible about rescheduling as well when things come up. Even the semi-private (1-4:1 training) feel pretty private. You always get individualized attention and modifications to suit your fitness level; it's definitely not a group class. I also enjoy the camaraderie as you meet other clients who come in at the same time. As someone who gets bored easily and has the tendency to drop things after a few months, I really appreciate that the workouts are never the same and I've learned a lot of new exercises and movements here despite a lifetime of dabbling in fitness. Daprinte, James, Colton, and Paul are all excellent trainers and put a lot of thought into programming. And I have so much fun here! I only bake for people I really like and I am constantly dropping off treats. My 2x a week commitment isn't much, but it has been efficient - I'm noticeably leaner and stronger. I can't recommend them enough!

As someone who…read moreis really picky about yoga studios, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the studio given how little research I had done on it. They have a new student special of $25/ 2 weeks, which is incredible (especially after covid). With that student special, I was able to try a good number of instructors and at different times in the day. All instructors were really experienced: they taught really unique classes, offered great cues and had a calm confidence. Each instructor had their own style, so it'd be fun to take more classes and find instructors that resonate with your practice more. I found all the classes to be truly "all-levels", where the instructors all encouraged students to make any modifications (up or down) to suit their practice. However, as someone who has a very skills-based practice, I find it's personally difficult to truly make any all-levels class "challenging" enough, so keep that in mind if you have a similar practice. The studio space itself is small, but since they were capping the number of students per class, it wasn't overly crowded or uncomfortable. I can see that changing after covid restrictions are lifted, however.

You're laying on the ground and can see the dust and if you have allergies they'll immediately be triggered. The 'instructor' was horrible and the website falsely advertises hot rooms- it was purposefully left cold to accommodate the teacher. I've taken yin in multiple cities and this was not even close. This was yin for preschool kids. Yin here was a frog pose, child's pose, and a bridge. Additionally the sound bath is anything but... It's like they bought some bowls on Amazon and watched a YouTube. It was so bad and ear piercing that you leave you with ringing ears. Oh and to top it off the women here with the fake namaste attitudes are horribly rude. Suffice to say- don't waste your time or go here searching for a proper yoga studio or you too will experience the Walmart of yoga being culturally appropriated by a basic MAHA group.
