About a year ago I decided to try Pilates for the first time. I have been doing two classes a week,…read moreeach class has been different and ccustomized to the needs of the students that day, so it is never boring. My fellow students are welcoming and encouraging.

I encourage everyone to try out the 101 classes or private sessions at Abel Wellness to see how Patti and Donnie can help you improve your health, fitness, and confidence.

My first experience with Pilates and I love it! After years at a private studio in my former town…read morewith very limited options, I am thrilled to be living near this studio. And by "near", I mean I am happy to drive 45 minutes each way for these classes. I have been to 10 classes to date. Every instructor has been good-- considerate of a newbie, giving clear direction and sprinkling the class time with general info. The staff is friendly, the studio is clean and it is located in a shopping area that i often frequent for my errands.

I can't say enough good things about this Pilates studio! I started with one class a week, moved up…read moreto two, and now I'm attending five classes a week--which says everything about how much I enjoy it. After moving to South Carolina, I wasn't working out as consistently and had lost quite a bit of strength and muscle. Pilates has helped me build that muscle back, and I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. Ikelle, Noelle, Aly, and Lindsey are all wonderful instructors. They each bring something special to their classes, but Ikelle has been especially instrumental in my progress. She is encouraging, knowledgeable, and has a way of challenging me while making every class feel positive and achievable. I'm so grateful to have found this studio!

So clean and an amazing workout. Ikelle is the best instructor! She is so attentive to each client!read more

Shawn is a fantastic instructor. I met him 17 years ago when I was recovering from my second…read moremicrodiscectomy surgery. Shawn was one of the only professionals who was comfortable working with me through my recovery. He coordinated with my physical therapist and worked to reinforce that work and help me to regain strength and flexibility. I trust him implicitly and am happy to have sustained our relationship for almost 2 decades.

I've taken taken classes from Shawn for probably more years than I care to admit - ok, FINE - it's…read morebeen close to 7 years. These have been a combination of group class, duets, and private sessions. Why? Because he's probably one of the best at what he does. He's spent years as an instructor and truly understands how the body works. My sessions have been geared toward what is uniquely happening in this body - not just teaching to a class. What that means is that I am challenged in a way that is supportive and not defeating. He's also helped me with rehab after being kicked by horse and spending 6 months in a cast. In case you're wondering - Yes, you can do pilates in a cast! It kept me active and encouraged mobility. Highly, highly recommend seeing him - I've never felt stronger!

The owner,…read moreJoselynne Boschen, is so knowledgeable and inspiring and has truly created a beautiful space to further your practice (or maybe just begin). This studio offers Reformer Pilates for all levels as well as TRX Yoga, and they are on ClassPass. All the other instructors including Stephanie, Kelsey, Olivia, Ginny, Christine & Daphne will kick your butt in the best way possible. You'll never take the same class twice, and each instructor really adds their own twist to each class. Highly recommend giving this studio a visit if you are looking to try Pilates or find a new studio to continue and grow your practice!

I usually lift or do yoga and had tried pilates twice before and had been unimpressed. That was before I had a one-on-one session with Linda at Urban. She is a fantastic coach. She clearly has a deep understanding of the discipline and is an excellent motivator. The session was perfectly tailored to my goals -- strenuous and focused on core strength and mobility. Now I get why people swear by pilates. Highly recommend trying this place out.

I often do yoga exercises, but wanted to really challenge my core strength. The Advanced Pilates "fire" group class I took did just that. I let the instructor know before class that I endure a lot of pain from scoliosis and how certain exercises cause neck pain, and she provided safe and effective moves that left me feeling rejuvenated and without any pain. I've never felt that good after a chiropractic adjustment! I will definitely be going back.
