I started reformer Pilates in March of 2018 to try to relieve the symptoms of chronic plantar fascitis and to find a method of exercise that would build strength and balance as I head into my 50th decade. The results were excellent however, I had to move on from that studio for other reasons I will not go into here. I tried the Pilates at Double Diamond Athletic Club...this is not true Pilates. Aside from 1 instructor, the others are personal trainers using reformers as gym equipment. The "mind/body" connection is lost also because there are loud aerobic classes going on nearby.
I found Lisa W. at Mind Over Movement and I am very happy. I did not know a reformer could be so solid, smooth and just FEEL it was made with great quality. Lisa's teaching and queing is excellent. The music she plays is spa-like, allowing you to get into the "mind" of the movements you are executing. I had never used the towers before and that is an awesome add to the reformer.
I also feel Lisa's pricing is fair. I buy the 6-pack. Paying in advance for 6 classes is good pricing AND MOST ESPECIALLY, I never have to worry about making up classes I may have missed due to my own schedule.
Additionally, there are two restrooms that are oversized and CLEAN...perfect for changing clothes before/after class. She also has mini bottled water on hand that she does not charge for. Caution though...don't take advantage of this as a freebie. BYO water and use theirs only if you need. Be a courteous student!
