I have been going to Pilates Plus for several years now and am embarrassed it has taken me this long to write a review. Maybe, secretly I wanted to ensure I could always get a spot in class, but the word needs to get out. All of the instructors here are seasoned veterans with years of teaching pilates. They are not fad driven instructors that just know the moves, but also the impact on the body(no offense). Shanel, the owner, has a degree in sports medicine and a host of other trainings. I can literally walk in like a 5 year old and say "this hurts" and she is able to fix it.
I primarily do the 6:00 AM, yes AM classes! I drag my butt out of bed, plunk down on a reformer and leave feeling amazing and sore, but usually more amazing. This is not an easy task and it is Shanel's professionalism and energy that motivates me to class twice a week when the alarm goes off at 5 AM (ugh AM). I have worked with Shanel on strength training, flexibility, injury recovery, etc. I have also witnessed, first-hand, the changes in many of my classmates who come in with lower back injuries etc.
I reserve my classes online about a month in advance, so I'm no longer worried about others finding out my secret. Plus who else is a glutton for 6 AM punishment? I've been to a lot of other pilates studios in my travels etc and can honestly say Pilates Plus is top notch, the best, hands down the most informed and aware. read more
