Overall, I liked the studio and found the class times to be convenient for my schedule. The instructors were great about showing modifications, both easier and more challenging, which I found productive to my own progress. Instructors were really great about answering questions after class (e.g., pigeon pose always cuts off my leg circulation for some reason, despite being hyperflexible, and they helped me find an alternative). I really wanted to love this place, but the main reason I did not go back is because most of their classes are hot yoga, which I really don't like. Personally, the heat does nothing for me besides drench my clothes ~completely~ in sweat (required a towel on my fabric car seats!) and, frankly, has no science to prove any benefits anyway. Plus, in addition to being annoying, it is also a hazard. I tried a lot of things to make the experience less slippery on my mat and nothing seemed to work. I just didn't think it was worth the struggle of trying not to slip and fall in basic poses, which I would not have to waste my time thinking about (and ultimately distracting me from the meditative experience) in a normal class. I also took an aerial yoga class, which was fun to try, but I personally found it pretty uncomfortable (cutting off circulation, digging into my legs despite being pretty thin figured). Just wasn't for me. If you don't mind hot yoga, you'll probably love this place. But if you do, you should choose a different studio (which is honestly hard to find in this area, as many places are hot yoga only).

After the paperwork was completed and turned in I had to wait 16 minutes after my appointed time. When I met Lisa she was very abrupt with me and acted very bizarre and not very welcoming. I had initially told body works / Lisa that I was in a wheelchair. When she met me and I had stated I was in a wheelchair, she asked me how did I transfer out of the chair normally I told her I use a sit to stand in my home and I had brought my aid with me to help if I needed assistance out of this chair during my appointment. She stated in a very abrupt manner,.. what is a sit to stand., as she stood in front of me intimidatingly. Although her manner was abrupt I followed her into her gym and she proceeded to ask me questions in a very clipped manner, I began to feel uncomfortable. She continued to ask me questions about my condition and I patiently responded, at one point she needed to go get her stand and stool that I assume she normally uses. While she was gone I made myself comfortable by one of her mats in the gym. When she came back she seemed unnerved that I had apparently sat in the spot that she normally inhabits. I quickly stated that I could move but she emphatically stated back to me no that's not necessary as she continued to look unnerved. I simply moved and she quickly took the spot that I had been in. And appeared to be more comfortable at that time,.. but she continued to question me about the sit the stand that I had mentioned. I was at that point becoming very uncomfortable but wanted to have a good experience from my initial therapy with body works. We eventually or I should say she eventually pulled up on her laptop what I said the stand was and proceeded to say, nice you have one of these. She even stated the amount at the time,.. since she was so curious about it I offered to bring it in for my sessions and she said how would you be able to do that and I stated that I had a wheelchair van that would be able to bring it. She proceeded to say wow that's very nice for you. At this time I'm not quite sure where all of this was leading. During part of our conversation she asked me if my legs moved and I stated that they did not and she bizarrely said to me that you really can't move your legs. I can go on but I'm not really sure what her problem was but eventually I asked if they was anyone else that I could work with and she stated yes.. which I intern said that would probably be a good idea. A young lady came out from the back her behavior was appropriate and she seemed to have a better demeanor then Lisa whom had told me that she was the owner. No matter what it seemed I was going to have to be evaluated by Lisa initially by this time I was over it. I wasn't feeling very welcomed and I promptly told Lisa that it probably was not going to be a good fit. I recently had abdominal surgery June 6th of this year and I have been looking forward to going to body works. I was looking forward to strengthening my muscles after the surgery. I don't know if Lisa was off put by me being disabled in a wheelchair and my limbs not working to full capacity., but I know that I wasn't made to feel comfortable and welcomed. I will say the receptionist that greeted us was nice before I met the owner.

All of the teachers are so knowledgeable about the body and alignment they and genuinely care. The pilates classes work miracles for back pain and other body aches and pains that start up after age 50.

This is a top-notch studio and if you are looking to get stronger in a safe and productive way, this is it. Plus everyone is so nice. Five stars. Highly recommend.

This space is warm and welcoming and all the instructors have been wonderful while also being completely unique in their focus and delivery. I started January with the unlimited membership (which I highly recommend) so I've taken Facial Refresh, Core XIIT, Pilates (mat) and TRX classes. Each class and each instructor has something different to offer, and with the small class sizes you feel like a part of the community immediately. From week to week the instructors remember specific injuries (to recommend modifications), goals and other pieces that are so important to substantial growth in strength and stamina. The online system is very easy to use to sign up for classes and the cancellation policy is extremely fair. Being right in the heart of Fall Creek with ample parking, the commute there is never a problem. In addition, the class times are perfect for my schedule and they have so many various classes to offer, it's so much more than just Pilates! Finally, they even have online classes if you can't make it in-person on a specific day, which I have also used and found to be extremely beneficial. I really can't recommend Vellidan enough. As a mom of two young children, this was the reminder I needed that feeling strong doesn't need to mean high intensity workouts with guaranteed injuries. Pilates is highly focused core work that is low intensity with a laser focus on correct form rather than overexertion. In just one month I already feel stronger and can feel my balance and core strength improving significantly. Thanks to Tori and the wonderful and knowledgeable instructors at Vellidan for providing such an important service to the downtown area!
