Christopher Cormier and Kristen Iuppenlatz Grech stand out for their skillfulness and expertise They both give close attention to each individual in a class, they teach and cue with precision and compassion.

I didn't think Pilates would be the right fit for me, but I noticed right away that it made not only a difference in my posture and the way I felt when I left, but it stayed with me throughout the week. My golf game has improved, and the teachers have done an amazing job with a reoccurring knee injury I've had undiagnosed for the past year or so. I am stronger, more flexible, and I pay attention to my posture much more, which helps keep me out of my bad habits and out of discomfort. I've taken classes with many of the teachers and done some private sessions -- I really can't say enough for the studio and the staff. They have a great selection of classes, including equipment classes and mat classes, and you can build up to what they call self-directed workouts. With self-directed you can come into the studio on your own and practice -- kind of like a gym membership. I was actually surprised at how detailed and intelligent Pilates is as an exercise system. The teachers blend an incredible knowledge of anatomy and functionality with so much clarity. They seem inspired and motivated by what they do and it genuinely makes me want to keep doing Pilates. I've already referred friends and family to Pilates Collective. It's definitely the place I want to spend my time and money when it comes to taking better care of myself.

I'm not new to Pilates or the world of core development, fitness and how the body can get into bad compensation patterns especially as we get older (I'm now 50 and I want to stay active) so I think I have a good idea of what I'm looking for in a trainer. So when I did some research and found Breathe Diversity I picked Sherrese Mikell. I've seen her now 3 or 4 times and have enjoyed the sessions. I've continued to be impressed with her knowledge of the body and movement, her ability to change things up when a movement she has me do doesn't feel quite right and her ability to keep the sessions light and enjoyable. I definitely would recommend her to anyone who wants to stay active while aging gracefully.

What set this studio apart for me was having the reformer and tower in the same place. No need to switch rooms. Really nice to mix things up! As for the instructors, I had Eilish and Jessica. They were great. No nonsense, welcoming, patient, and really committed to maximizing the benefit we get from the class. For newcomers, feel comfortable signing up for a class. The instructors will gently walk you through the movements in a non embarrassing way. :) A major bonus, tons of parking!

I've found Pilate classes and working on a reformer has greatly improved my level of pain and actually takes it away. Consistently working the one hour session with her has improved my body composition for a better body overall. Ruthie is very knowledgeable on how to treat conditions and injuries from chronic pain with simple body movements to achieve mobility once again. At 67 years of age, some of us have different projects we work through daily.... I look forward to my weekly session with her as my new Happy Hour! She's amazing! .

I have been working with Ruthie for just over a year now, on a weekly basis. I was looking for a way build my upper and lower core to ease chronic neck pain from a car accident. When I first contacted Ruth via email, not only did she respond immediately, she provided a detailed analysis of the ways in which she might be able to offer assistance. The attention to detail has not changed since that first contact last summer. She is meticulous about planning each session to focus on ways to build upon work from previous week, while continuing to explore new ideas and challenge me physically. The most amazing part is that she is always ready to make adjustments after checking in with me at the beginning of each session. It is such a pleasure working with Ruthie - she is a fantastic personal trainer! I leave each session feeling like I have done well, made progress and learned key techniques for improving my body mechanics. Ruthie is so patient and intuitive during each session, subtly reminding me of key components of each move, reinforcing the correct alignment/positioning. During the COVID shutdown, Ruthie didn't skip a beat! She transitioned into Zoom sessions, which are amazingly effective. I must admit, I was doubtful about doing personal training via Zoom, but it has really worked well for me and she has been beyond flexible in finding a good time the works for us both. For anyone looking for a capable, knowledgeable, patient and truly amazing personal trainer - look no further. Ruthie is a gem!

I have taken both Barre and Reformer Pilates classes in her studio. I tend to become bored with exercise repetition, but Julie's classes offer a wide variety and challenge to keep me engaged. As a senior student I am benefitting from greater core strength, spinal re-alignment, stamina and flexibility. When I first began taking Pilates I experienced joint pain and limited range-of-motion in my body. But, by taking Julie's classes I am now enjoying greater muscle tone and improved joint flexibility. Julie addresses the individual needs of each student, through customized exercise to maintain a safe but challenging Pilates program. Her classes combine Reformer equipment, light weight use of balls, bands and mat, building from the beginning basics to more advanced concepts and exercise. Julie's studio prices are reasonable, and her professional upbeat approach is great!
