Ed is knowledgeable, attentive and is always making sure you're getting the most out of every movement. I'm so glad we met Ed! I'd be a beach bum if it weren't for him :)

I live in Atlanta, Georgia and was very fortunate to have taken group pilates classes with Ed. I…read morealso took private pilates/core alignment, training with Ed in his studio. You will not find anyone more genuine, knowledgable and caring. I have had a number of surgeries that have caused muscle imbalance as well as my aging knees that need to be replaced someday. His custom plan to improve my imbalance and bad knees worked in a very short time! This helped prepare me for my Rim to Rim hike in the Grand Canyon a 24 mile round trip hike with significant elevation. My knees improved greatly, no braces or tape needed and and other issues too - the best I felt in years! The other thing I need to say is that Ed has amazing energy and a joy for life that is contagious.....you always walk out of a session feeling you are going to have the best day and you also just had the best workout!

Came as a drop in for a yoga class with my mom while visiting Treasure Island. The only downside is…read morethat you when booking through the website, you have to create an account to save your spot and I couldn't find a way to pay for two people at once, so my mom and I had to sign up separately. However, the rest of the experience was great. The studio is beautifully decorated, colorful, clean, and peaceful. They offer Pilates and barre as well. The yoga class we did was challenging, but the pace was good, and the instructor was nice. Provided modifications as needed if a position was tough or not comfortable. They provide mats, blocks, etc.

Clare is excellent! I have done two classes and I'm excited to be signing up for a package. The…read morebiggest differentiator for the group classes is that it feels very personalized. With her background in physical therapy, Clare is very cognizant of which exercises will be appropriate for each person in the class- and works with you to find the right level and adjustments to get the most out of each move. Highly recommend!

Claire is an absolutely fabulous Pilates Instructor. I can't say that I've done much Pilates but I…read morehave lots of experience with Yoga and other group classes. Thus far, I've taken about 6-7 of Claire's virtual Pilates classes. I am a very visual person and Claire provides great descriptions that allow me to visualize proper form and feel confident that I am doing it correctly! She also takes individual limitations into consideration and provides instruction on how to tweak poses and provides variations and different levels of difficulty. Impressively, she manages to do this without slowing down or taking away from the class at all. Also, classes are incredibly affordable!

I have waited a lifetime to meet a trainer this amazing! I have been going to the gym for many…read moreyears now, and have tried the trainers all box gyms offer...they have NOTHING on Joerg! I truly can not describe how his years of experience shine through on his daily coaching. At first look he might seem intimidating, but he is down to earth, real, and there to help you achieve your goals no matter what hey are. Since meeting Joerg my body is transforming right before my own eyes, and I have sent several other friends his way that all feel the same great energy and professionalism. I highly recommend anyone who is done with trainers that get their "certificate in 1 weekend" meet with him and you will be happy you made such a great Decision!

I've been going to AJ's Personal Training studio for a few months now and I'm so glad I found this…read morestudio. I've been to fitness studios, fitness gyms and personal training but none compare to AJ's. I like the small group classes and that this is a judgement free zone. I just need to show up and AJ already has my workout for the day set up. You also get a free fitness evaluation, nutrition guidance and an InBody scan (some fitness centers charge extra for this). Every time I leave a workout session, I feel stronger physically and mentally. AJ really listens to what your needs and goals are. If you have an injury, she will revise the workouts to fit what you can so that day.

I arrived in the Grand Central District on January 1 for a two month respite from winter weather in…read morethe north. On an early walk through the neighborhood, I noticed the sign/gym for AJ's Personal Training, 40+. I was intrigued and reached out to her. She responded promptly and we arranged for an intake visit the next day. On the intake visit, we spoke at length about my prior experiences with training and the goals I had for the short amount of time I would be able to go to her facility. We agreed on my goals (#1 Build strength, #2 improve balance), and I committed to 3 times a week for the duration of my visit. I looked forward to every day. I turned 71 during my time in Florida, and had neglected fitness for the last two years. I have lost almost 40 pounds over the course of the last year (thank you Zepbound) and really felt a need to develop muscle and strength. Because Amy offers an "InBody Assessment" at the beginning of the journey, I was able to see the results of my efforts--not only in my body, but in % of body fat lost and amount of muscle weight gained. In two months, i lost 2% of my body fat and gained 2 pounds of muscle mass. Woo-hoo! I have a background in health and fitness myself and I have been to numerous exercise classes and personal trainers. What sets Amy apart is her ability to listen and understand your personal goals. She doesn't appear to have an ego about doing things "her way." As others have stated, when you arrive, the workout is on the whiteboard and you get started. Amy is attentive to each person and provides cues and modifications as needed. She also provides access to an app in which she posts the workouts so you can track what you have done. I'm particularly grateful for that because I can use that back at home and keep up with my exercising. The other clients at the gym are non-judgmental and fun to be with and I will miss our comraderie.

AMAZING class with Olivia. It was raining outside, her sound bowls with the thunder and real drops falling on the roof while she also used her bamboo water-making instrument was BEAUTIFUL during our meditation. The first 20 minutes of flow, followed by deep-stretching yin, were also the perfect preamble to prepare our minds and bodies to really sink into our sound meditation to close. Infrared panels were ON YAY! (And also YAY to the GREAT new ventilation fans installed and turned ON to cool us down for the meditation segment - SO GRATEFUL for those, too!) In short, this class was the most perfect beginning of my week. Olivia: Thank you, beautiful soul. NAMASTE! Hopefully I can practice with you again next week

If that's all I wanted to do the instructors were great and they checked on me when I had to take a break outside and catch my breath during the difficult class. I will be back
