How have a yet to write a review on the amazing woman?…read more Paige has made a HUGE difference in my personal recovery story. I was involved in a car accident with pretty severe disc injuries. I had tried chiropractic care, acupuncture, injections, and was contemplating surgical options. I was unable to walk for more than five minutes and was in constant pain. After a year of trying to rehab I wanted to try physical therapy. It was a hard decision because of the cost, but I needed someone who could spot me to assure I didn't injure myself any further. I can honestly say it was one of the best investments in myself I've ever made. Paige has given me insights into how my body is operating due to the injury and has guided me towards building the proper muscles to support my spine. She has been so patient, loving, compassionate and kind. My body feels stronger and my spirit feels mended. She is one of a kind teacher. She is present and has a sneaky intuition of when to challenge me, and when to encourage me to accept my limitations. Paige has quite literally changed my life, and I've never been more grateful for an individual in this journey towards healing. Thank you Paige for being you and for being a healer

What a wonderful experience to work with Paige! She provides tailored sessions to achieve our…read morecommon goals. I was a longtime daily runner who has stopped running after successful double knee replacements. Paige understands and works to help me keep the knees mobile, while also helping me with other focus areas - hips, core, posture, balance. We combine my in-person Pilates sessions with my at home walks and Peloton. I look forward to our sessions and after 55 minutes really see and feel the difference. I know we will accomplish more in the times ahead. In addition to my body and mobility, my sessions with Paige are great mental relaxation for me. Her studio is well maintained and I enjoy the 1:1 time we have together. Highly recommend Pilates with Paige!

Zoe is very experienced and professional. This is a classic Pilates studio. It's probably one of…read morethe best Pilates studios that you will be able to find in the area. Nevertheless, there are some drawbacks which probably have more to do with the management than Zoe or the trainers. This should be a great place to workout because Zoe is very experienced, it costs a fortune, there are very few clients at any given time. But it's not. If you don't workout with Zoe who is very hard to get into, the other teachers are hit and miss. You pay a fortune, but they make you carry a little bottle of disinfectant and paper towels around and clean each piece of equipment yourself after you use it regardless of whether or not there is a drop of sweat, while they watch you and inspect afterward. Seriously. At 1.25 per minute, you end up spending a lot of your own money to a) learn how to clean their furniture, b) clean their furniture and c) have your cleaning inspected and d) redo your cleaning if you are not clean enough. There is no parking. If you go after dark, you have to walk down a dark alley to a public parking lot a block away and be sure to have change or you will get a parking ticket. Very snobby. If you don't spend a fortune don't expect to be welcome or have a regular time. If an exercise doesn't work out for you due to a physical problem, most of the teachers will not or perhaps do not know enough to adjust your workout. If you like to be treated like a loser, clean gym furniture that does not need cleaning, drive around looking for parking, walk down dark alleys, pay top dollar for exercise programs that are not customized to you, find your hour being gradually whittled down to 45 minutes less 5 or 10 minutes of time spent cleaning furniture, and in short spend a lot of money to be miserable, then try Zoe Pilates studio. But I don't recommend it. PROS: Zoe is well trained and experienced Studio is not crowded CONS Teacher quality is hit and miss No parking Overpriced Obsessive over making clients clean their furniture Cut your time short if they are running late Snobbish: Treat non-big spenders poorly and Will not give you a standing appointment They will freely cancel your appointment at the last minute without apology or rescheduling. Have been canceled as close as 30 minutes before an appointment. Often will not turn on the air conditioner in the summer and you will have to workout in over 100 degree temperatures This kind of atmosphere where they will discourteously cancel appointments up to the last minute, I would be inclined to be forgiving of their faults if they were forgiving of mine, but they hold the customers to a much higher standard than they hold themselves. I felt enormous relief when I stopped going to Zoe Studio. Find another pilates studio. One that actually wants your business, and treats people courteously. Zoe is certainly very knowledgeable - find someone she trained who works at a less snobby and rigid studio.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Mel for private lessons for two glorious years…read more Having had a double hip replacement, I was unsure of my ability to do Pilates, and felt immediately at ease under Mels thoughtful & experienced guidance, and found the experience transformative. She is attentive and kind, with a clear understanding of both my limitations as well my potential, and she helped me immensely. I developed confidence, both in my ability to push past my comfort zone, as well how I felt about myself and my body. I was amazed at how my body developed, both in strength and flexibility. I looked forward to every session, Mel's warm, lovely energy was consistent and nurturing. She is simply put, a delightful human. I would highly recommend her and her studio to anyone looking to up their self care.

I was originally introduced to the studio in 1999 due to chronic knee issues. After a few years of dedication to my Pilates regiment, I regained a strength I thought I'd lost forever. With a desire to learn more, I entered Perfectly Fit's Teacher Training Certification Program, and became an instructor. From 2002-2018, I had the privilege of working at Perfectly Fit with Melissa Quezada, the dedicated and professional studio owner. What a pleasure it was to show up to work every day, teach alongside talented staff, instruct wonderful and loving clients, and give back some Pilates knowledge that had been shared with me over many years. I am now retired and have come full circle as a returning client at the studio. Perfectly Fit is part family, part fun, part functional to my well-being. Whether you are new to Pilates or a seasoned "pro", this studio is a gift to the self that will pay a lifetime's worth of dividends!

I wanted someplace that really knew traditional Pilates but also added in some contemporary, had really skilled trainers, and could train advanced practitioners. I went to many, MANY places, and they were either too basic or so fast and shouting through a mic that people were going to get hurt. That is NOT the experience you'll get at Pilates Eagle Rock. Jen is a true master, she's had the studio for over 20 years and really knows her stuff. I think I know what I'm doing, then she gives that tiny tweak and I realize I know nothing!! Penny and Sofia are also favorites of mine and SUPER GOOD too. They're former dancers, as am I, so really know how dancers move - and sometimes over extend - to keep me in check. There is no parking lot, but they have small classes and it's super easy to park, so don't let that deter you.

Kathy the owner seems like a lovely person. She has a lot of experience coaching fitness at a…read morePrivate School; only a few years of Pilates and teaching (she got her certification 2018/19, and opened her doors about 3 years ago.) The studio is (by her own admission) small, with 3 pieces of main equipment. A garage converted nicely into a small workout space. It's pretty, tidy, clean, and the independent AC seemed adequate, though not as cool/strong as you might find in a real studio with central AC. The equipment is Stott, which is the more modern version of the traditional wooden equipment, which might create a challenge if one is used to the full, more high-end cadillac, chairs, and reformers (some examples of the differences: less bandwidth for pegging out in general; narrower 'beds' and no pegs for holding straps; less movement on some excercises due to parts of equipment built too high). My first session we had decided would be more of a meeting/testing settings and such on the equipment. One thing that was a bit jarring: there are no mirrors running along the length of the reformer and semi-cadillac - which was a first, given that Pilates of course is about proper alignment and posture. I kept glancing to look at my posture, and there was just closets. There is one mirror at a small distance that was hung so you see yourself 'head on' while doing arms - but that doesn't help with the main point of them: posture of shoulders, back, arms, etc from profile, which is the more important. Kathy graciously took my feedback (or gave the appearance of doing so) as it seemed to have not yet occurred to her. It was not completely 'private' - she likes to leave the garage door wide open for air circulation, which was a bit uncomfy - didn't quite feel safe/private. Also, her husband (a very nice person) wandered in at one point to grab a beverage from the fridge. True, we were not having a full session, but still... Kathy explained he normally doesn't do that. Priced reasonably; approximately 70$ / session at time of review. After this first session she said she'd be very happy to move forward; and we scheduled a session for the following Sunday. She also offered a Package deal if I purchased 10. Oddly, she did not have the compassion or professional etiquette to call to share that she had overnight changed her mind, she simply texted she was not going to move forward and when I tried to at least learn what had changed (as she had expressed only delight and keen interest in moving forward) - she chose not to respond. My best guess is her lack of experience and the challenge with the studio set up lacking mirrors et al led her to feeling ill-matched for someone with traditional Pilates training used to a more pro studio set up. She had admitted thus far her clients had been fellow parents from the school she taught at, or friends. Perhaps my pointing out where things could use some help frustrated her. Either way - doing a complete 180 like that - especially given all her compliments of my own Health Journey - was a sad way to handle a new customer - even if the choice was that it wasn't a good fit, a courtesy call with some indication of what had changed so abruptly would have been better. Thank you. Consult / 1st session was Sunday 8/14/22 at approx 5 pm. I unfortunately was running a few minutes late - stopped to pick up smoothies as a thank you for her time leading up to session, and also had to take call from surgeon due to recent surgery. She was gracious about lateness "Kathryn" Cory B.
