It has calming lighting that makes it easy to settle in, whether it's your first class or you've been doing Pilates for a while. Even on my first vist, I didn't feel intimidated walking through the doors, which I really appreciate. The instructors are what keep me coming back. For the complimentary session, we had Angela. Weekly, my schedule would line up to when Season would teach! They are both so attentive throughout class and always takes the time to correct my form or offer modifications when needed. I never feel called out and they took the time to get to know my husband and I! They genuinely seem to want everyne to get the most out of the workout and move safely. Every class leaves me feeling stronger, more balanced, and somehow in a better mood than when I walked in. It's challenging in all the right ways, but the environment is so encouraging that I actually look forward to coming back. If you're looking for a Pilates studio with knowledgeable instructors, a welcoming community, and space that is aesthetically pretty that feels just as good as the workout, I'd definitely recommend giving this studio a try!

With aging, I felt my body slow down with aches & pains and wanted to improve myself. I read that…read morePilates is great for every one of all ages but was hesitant to join because I didn't want to feel out of place as an older newbie. But I'm so glad I came across MVMT Studio! I started with their free trial class and loved it! I ended up signing up for their annual membership. In just a few months, I feel stronger, energetic and just overall better about myself! Angela and her staff are amazing! They make you feel so welcomed and truly care about their clients. They will challenge you with each class but also work with you if you have any injuries. I've had frozen shoulder, wrist pain and Angela provides modifications with the exercises. I've been sore in places that I didn't even know muscles existed LOL. It truly "hurts so good!" So if you're on the fence about starting your fitness journey, I highly recommend MVMT Studios!

Her passion to educate her clients ensures that they master the basic Pilates form and the foundational principals of Pilates. She even has diagrams of the human muscular system and a video showing the fascia of the human body to visually aid in the education of her clients. After every session she gives me homework to make sure I practice everything I was instructed and I'm happy to see that I've progressed in my knowledge. Kathy is glamorous and is young, agile, and energetic. You couldn't ever tell that she got run over by a truck just less than 10 years ago. The fact that Kathy recovered from being run over by a truck and being confined in a wheel chair for years is proof that she practices what she preaches and that pilates works. I believe if you want a Pilates instructor who cares about building the correct foundation for a lifetime of Pilates practice and correct day to day movement so you don't get into a wheel chair or have to push yourself around with a walker when you get older, she is the one to go to.

A year and a half ago, I fractured my knee, which resulted in nerve damage and foot drop. Going…read morefrom being very active to suddenly losing my mobility was incredibly difficult, both physically and emotionally. After my physical therapy sessions ended, I started searching for an adaptive fitness trainer who could help me continue my recovery. Thank God I found Melissa! One of the biggest blessings is that she offers house calls. Because of my injury, getting to a gym can be challenging, so having her come to my home has made all the difference. I've completed two sessions so far, and I'm already noticing improved mobility in my left foot. Melissa is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly motivating. She genuinely gives me hope that I can continue making progress. I highly recommend her to anyone recovering from an injury or looking for a compassionate trainer who truly cares about her clients.

This is a letter of recommendation for Melissa Crown, certified physical trainer. In short, I call…read moreher a "miracle worker" when it comes to my physical well-being. Her specialty is seniors' physical fitness. I am now going on 75 years-old, and I have been working with Melissa for 10 years, since January 2016. I have found these "senior" years both enjoyable and incredibly beneficial. Prior to working independently with Melissa, I worked for three years with a certified trainer at Equinox. And due to various sports injuries and surgeries, I have worked with a several different physical therapists. Melissa has done more for my flexibility, balance, strength, and recovery than any of the physical therapists or previous physical trainers I have used. In my early 60's, I was told that I was a candidate for knee replacement. Through stretching, strengthening, and flexibility exercises that Melissa prescribed, I was able to postpone the surgery until I was 71, and enjoy my active lifestyle. When it came time for the surgery, she helped me prepare for and recover from knee replacement surgery. My doctors and therapists were amazed at how quickly I recovered, at 71 years old! In just a few short weeks I was up and down stairs and riding my bike! With the new knee she is very careful, working gently on flexibility, strength, and stretching. At 69 years old I was diagnosed with a torn left rotator cuff, and the doctor recommended surgery with about a 9-month recovery period. He suggested that I prepare for surgery with "shoulder strengthening" exercises. When I asked him what specific exercises, and he said, "Ask your trainer, she will know." I did, and she did know. Today, without surgery, I have complete range of motion in the shoulder, and it is nearly as strong as the other one. Of course I canceled my surgery, and my doctor was amazed! Melissa understands that I don't want or need to be "Charles Atlas." But I do want to enjoy a relatively pain-free, active lifestyle without fatigue that often plagues our senior years. I'm talking yard work, kayaking, golfing, biking, hiking, or just playing catch with the grandchildren. Melissa does NOT take a "drill sergeant" approach to exercise but uses encouragement and positive reinforcement. I often find myself saying, "I can do more!" She will often say, "I don't want you hurt yourself." Or "We can do more later if you want." She has an uncanny knack of knowing just what stretch or exercise I need to alleviate any nagging pain or discomfort. Under Melissa's tutelage, I can now touch my toes, get in and out of a kayak, and ride my bike 50+ miles without cramping. I hope your experiences with Melissa parallels mine. Enthusiastically, John W. Reimers

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

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!
