Have been going to Leonore for more than three months and I adore her. I had never had an…read moreinstructor before so I was quite nervous at the start but she made me feel at ease instantly. I have MS and Lupus, so my body sometimes hurts or just isn't that willing to cooperate. Leonore listens intently to what you are saying, is very caring in her training and body work approach and really helps in getting your body feeling better and healthier . I have been building my core strength slowly with her help. Between sessions you get homework, so it's a team effort. Highly recommend Leonore to anyone, so if you have been thinking about it but are just not sure, just give her a try. Your body will love you for it ;}

My first internal exams was tough for me but her incredibly calm nature and thorough cues taught me how to calm my nervous system and release tension. This ended up having a huge impact during labor when I had many cervical checks. I was able to prep myself to relax and the offer dreaded cervical checks were a breeze for me! The doctors were impressed with my ability to relax and it was entirely thanks to my work with Karah. I previously was tense and coordinating my breathing completely wrong which caused extra stress and pain. I think an appointment or two can do wonders for anyone who dreads gyno exams (paps, iud insertion, cervical checks ect) even if you don't have pelvic floor specific concerns. She is gentle and low pressure. She will also give you tips on how to do work at home if coming in is an obstacle.

Make sure to give yourself time to find parking and communication is your friend if it is your first time, as I had walking mobility issues at that point. After months of treatment, she shared her expertise which I was able to take with me even a couple of years later. Certain exercises like squats against the wall are daily habits I do in the morning because of my rehabilitation journey with her. Dr. Steffen supported me by being respectful of who I am. She motivated me to learn more about my body beyond anatomy and physiology-which she also taught me a lot. I felt confident in her care. The office space, especially the room with a window looking over greenery, was conducive to healing. Each activity seemed enjoyable, even if there was pain involved; she was able to explain complex exercises and stretches in a meaningful way. She had a lot of equipment and resources. I regained strength and mobility, and now am getting back into the body before the accident. Thank you for your genuine concern for my overall well-being!

She has been seeing my patients for as long as I have known her (almost 3 years) and I have heard nothing but praises. I tell my patients its not JUST pilates you need, its guidance, and that is what Alissa is great at, guiding your body in the right direction to reach optimum balance and sustained overall health. Pilates is the preferred method of rehab and core strengthening, and Alissa is the right person to get that job done. I have had the pleasure of experiencing her work first hand, and seeing amazing results with my patients, which gives me great confidence knowing she is capable and knowledgeable to handle the most delicate cases. These are unique characteristics not found in my instructors. I highly recommend this dedicated professional not only because she is good at what she does, but also because she has a wide knowledge base and most importantly... a caring heart.

Well, 2 years since my first review and I can't sing Alissa praises enough! Unfortunately I have…read morerecently moved and I miss Alissa's workouts SO MUCH! I went to her weekly before I was pregnant, throughout pregnancy and also postpartum. She is very knowledgable about the postpartum body. I have had some problems since delivery (ab separation and some minor low back pain and uneven gait) and Alissa was helping these problems. Since I moved I tried a new instructor and it made everything worse!! So now I'm in physical therapy, doing really well, and guess what exercises I'm doing with my PT? The same ones that Alissa would run me through! I so wish I could continue to see Alissa for the amazing whole body workout and seriously, the stress would just melt away! I miss you Alissa xoxoxo!

She knows just how much to push her client (me) and she is incredibly compassionate. And recovering from an extended period of illness, Birgitte has helped me regain fitness. Also, last, though absolutely not least, Birgitte pays attention and she is incredibly knowledgeable. I can't recommend Birgitte highly enough for both the beginner and the advanced pilates student, she will meet you where you are and take you and your practice much further!

I started training downstairs in the Performance Training office with Allie a couple years ago and am so glad that I did. Allie has tailored our training sessions and my home workouts to whatever I've needed, which has varied a lot since I started working with her. I've dealt with medical conditions and new injuries that have required us to make adjustments, and she has never had a problem coming up with ways to continue working toward my goals. She is perceptive, thoughtful, and always a pleasure to work with. I'm now back to running and playing soccer, and even though I'm several years older than when I last did those things regularly, I feel more confident in my ability to avoid major injuries and recover from the inevitable small ones thanks to the work I've been doing with Allie. The other trainers and staff seem great as well, and everyone here seems to have good attitudes and senses of humor. I think they all have different specialties and I would gladly work with any of them, though Allie is the best. It's a great place to train, the atmosphere is fun and they will push you and guide you in all the right ways.

I have a history of back pain and problems since childhood but when I was younger I could work through the pain and still be active. In my 30s I felt like every year I got hurt and set myself back for months and was starting to become an inactive person. I started working with Jonathan in late 2024/early 2025 with the goal of becoming more resilient, fit, and capable of living a movement filled life without hurting myself. We met together ~weekly for a year, and I would enthusiastically say it was one of the best investments of my life. I am not only healthier, but also wiser and better equipped to take care of myself in the future. Jonathan taught me how to fish. We now meet on a ~quarterly basis and I look forward to continuing to learn from him and benefit from his guidance on my programming.

It's been great to both train outside at the park and in the gym, online and in person. Especially given the pandemic in which we started, Jon's flexibility has been huge in keeping me consistent. Jon has really helped me refine my approach to fitness and help me refine my inner somatic awareness. I have a much better understanding of both how and why to use which muscles for what purposes, as well as what that feels like inside.

I have been trained by four different pilates instructors over the course of six months on a…read moresomewhat regular schedule, and Barbara is by far the best of them. She's an experienced and devoted instructor, and attentive from the moment you enter her studio. She's observant and knows right away when I'm doing something wrong and is quick to adjust my position to avoid injury. The adorable thing about her is that I don't even have to adjust the springs myself! She does it for me! I believe I've had four lessons to date with her, and each time she's taught me something new. She recognizes my potential and offers something different each time to keep my body challenged. I never feel like our time is wasted with idle chitchat or weird mind/body meditation like I have with other instructors. She gets down to business and is very time conscious. There are days when I feel drained or just plain lazy, but after her class, I feel refreshed and energized. Barbara also tends to work out alongside of you if there's an available reformer, so it's easy to follow her example....if you can keep up with her. Just as a side. I had a class with her yesterday, and I can barely walk today; legs sore, abs sore, it hurts to laugh. But I know I'll be laughing all the way to the dept. store when I buy that bikini.

Barbara is an excellent instructor with a thorough knowledge of Pilates. Though there are multiple people in a class, Barbara customizes our movements based on each person's abilities. She makes the classes fun, energetic, varied and always ensures that we have perfect form. I have lower back problems and Barbara always ensures that I perform movements to help strengthen, not harm, my back. Since taking her classes I feel as though I have a new body; leaner, stronger and healthier. I have stomach muscles I NEVER thought I'd have and I am ready for summer! Do yourself a favor and take some Pilates classes with Barbara. Your body and mind will benefit AND you will have a new friend. LC

I came here with excitement and a desire to contribute, grow, and connect--but my experience has left me deeply hurt. Without any warning or explanation, I was told by Sataya that I was no longer part of the work-trade community because her and Cleopatra don't feel comfortable. To be removed so quickly and abruptly from a space that is meant to uplift BiPOC women is devastating and confusing. I feel excluded, unheard, and deeply disappointed by how this was handled. I hope the organization takes a hard look at how they treat community members and work-trade contributors. Transparency, care, and genuine inclusivity are essential--especially in spaces designed to support marginalized BLACK women in a society that is already unjust.
