I've only been going for a few weeks so I am still learning to properly do the exercises, but the teachers are patient and have happily answered all my dumb questions after class. And even though my technique is pretty bad still, my entire body still gets an intense workout . I'm a regular runner, but I didn't even know I had muscles in some of the places that start to burn! Plus the music and constantly changing exercises make it fun. (The short warmup and arm work always follows the same routine, but the legs, seat, and abs exercises change up every class I've been to.) One thing newbies might want to be aware of is that most of the 5:30pm classes and weekend classes I've been to have been somewhat crowded. If you want more individualized attention I'd recommend either the 6:35pm class or the morning/afternoon sessions during weekdays. Despite being on a tight budget I try to go twice a week - think it's worth it to look and feel better.

They did a great job in decorating - it feels good to go to this studio instead of a noisy, stinky gym. So far everyone I have met has been very nice and welcoming. Rebekah and her staff are super accommodating - I have a herniated disc in my lower back and Ellie has been great in scaling workouts for me. They also work really hard to fit you into their schedule (I needed private sessions to begin with), contacting me by phone, text, and email. Super convenient. Though I was (and still am) brand new to pilates, I have never felt awkward or pressured for being a newbie. I highly recommend this place. Give them a call and talk to someone - you won't regret it.

Barre is my favorite kind of workout. This studio is super cute. It's one big room with a mirror at the front of class. When you walk in, there is a counter to check-in at and a white board with all the equipment you need for the class that day. It's located in a strip mall so there is tons of easy and free parking in the lot out front. They have one single stall bathroom in the back right corner. They also have a water fountain. Mallory was my instructor for the day and was incredibly welcoming and helpful. She took the time to explain the class to me and suggested I sit up front so it was a bit easier to follow her. This class was a really fun challenge. She played music that matched the movements and I found myself shocked at how fast time went. They have great equipment here so you don't need to bring anything but yourself (no special socks needed for this one). I highly recommend checking out this studio!

This studio is highly professional, inspiring and fun! I cannot say enough superlatives about the manager Juanita Franke ! She is extremely professional, engaging , kind and generous . Her mastery in anatomy , physiology and exercise science is exemplary! I love attending her classes ! She explains the exercises so well and clearly , as well as the benefits and physiology of w he at she is doing . As a client and a PT every session with her is a party for me . The majority of the instructors at this studio are also highly professional , knowledgeable, motivational and engaging . Some newer instructors require more supervision and training in my opinion but as I said the vast majority of them are extremely qualified and well versed in exercise science and quite creative in their approach . Especially notable in addition to Juanita , are Chloe, Sofia and Wendy . Pilates is a great way to keep in shape in a very fun way . I hope I can continue this wonderful exercise modality forever and I highly recommend this studio in Charlottesville under the masterful management of Juanita Franke .
