I am new to reformer Pilates, and have a lumbar injury that flares up now and then. The instructors…read morewere very approachable and kind while introducing me to the reformer and working with me on modifications I can make to ensure I do not injure myself. The classes are perfect for me, as they are challenging but not so fast-paced that I cannot keep up or correctly monitor my form. Melissa was also wonderful at providing me feedback during class and helping me decide on a class bundle to book. I am incredibly pleased with my experience as a newbie, and am excited to continue my Pilates journey with IM=X Pilates and Fitness.

They are very helpful with teaching me how to modify exercises around my injuries. I have found the work out to be addictive! As they said "best addiction ever!" They offer classes six days a week Dash morning, afternoon, and evening. There are also many different levels of classes and some for beginners to learn the basic moves and correct positions. I highly recommend this!

The workout emphasizes core strength, smooth transitions with muscular engagement using a mix of weights and resistance bands. The class is low-impact on the joints but high in effectiveness--expect a serious burn in all the right places! It hurt so good!!! The amazing, skilled, motivating instructor kept saying to think about mind-body connection and I felt that. I really enjoyed this class and my experience. They offer other types of class styles and have the typical reformer Pilates as well- check them out!

I have never liked 'working out'. I hate 'gyms' and am not a self motivator when it comes to…read moreworking out. I need to participate in an actual activity like tennis, hiking, running, etc. When I lived in NYC I decided to get serious about my fitness routine and started working with a trainer (Radu Fitness). THAT changed my outlook on 'working out'. I loved my trainer and she kicked by 'behind' 4 days a week. Once we moved to Pittsburgh, I was extremely disappointed with the work out scene ... the gyms (joined The Rivers Club, LA Fitness, JCC, etc.) didn't work for me and the trainer selection was very poor. A mere 4 months ago I stumbled upon The Pilates Center of Pittsburgh. While I continued to be fit through running and outdoor activities, my herniated disc was limiting my enjoyment and frequency. My Neurosurgeon said that I had to develop my core while not straining my back. He suggested that I try Pilates. Not knowing anything about Pilates, I made an appointment with at the Center and met Lesley. I have to admit that at first, it was a little intimidating and a bit complicated and I felt a bit awkward in the movements. Sometimes I thought that I was never going to 'get it'. During those first few weeks I never ONCE felt embarrassed or uncomfortable. With kind and generous trainers I became hooked! I have never had a weight problem .... but as I reached my 40's I was definitely becoming 'soft' all over. Four months later I feel strong and according to my friends, co-workers and husband, look better than ever!!! In addition to all of that good stuff my back feels so much better and my running has greatly improved. Pre-Pilates I would run 3 miles and walk like an old lady for the remainder of the afternoon or be stiff and sore the next morning. Three months into Pilates I decided to take a short run. Low and behold, my Nike Fuel band was telling me that I ran a 5K. I felt awesome ... so awesome that I ran an additional 5K!! If you are looking to zone out on the treadmill .... Pilates is not for you. If you are not serious about changing your body posture and composition...... Pilates is not for you. If you do not enjoy understanding your body and how it really moves ..... Pilates is not for you. If any of the aforementioned sounds intriguing, then give Pilates a try. I highly recommend The Pilates Center of Pittsburgh. Lesley and her wonderful trainers (Allie, Erin, Michelle, Cecile) are bright, focused, kind and skilled. Each has their own unique style but the consistency of the technique is quite impressive. Good luck!!

When I began taking lessons at the Pilates Center of Pittsburgh, my exposure to Pilates had been…read moreminimal, just some workout dvds. This was my first lesson in a formal setting with an expert and it made a huge difference in what I was able to get out of the workout. I studied mostly with Leslie, who is a true expert at precision. Leslie is great at communicating Pilates concepts in several different ways, so that you can connect with an explanation that resonates with you. That said, the other instructors are great too. Leslie is very selective about who she hires, you won't find instructors here that don't know what they are doing. I took a couple of classes with Sally and would highly recommend her as an instructor. She is extremely kind and bubbly, but don't let her fool you - she will work you! At the Pilates Center, it is required for you to go through a series of intro sessions before joining a class. Having done it, I think that this is so smart. The intro sessions are well-priced, they give you one-on-one time with the instructors to focus on your specific needs and really ensure that you are joining a class when you are ready (a great way to prevent injuries). The environment is very casual, calm and relaxed. This isn't one of those snobby or pretentious places...which is a major selling point for me. Don't think you have to be a fit and tiny ballerina to fit in here, there are students of all ages and skill levels. Most of all, I love how Pilates makes me feel strong, open and energized. It's a great way to start your day if you can swing a morning session.

Having dealt with obesity my entire life, I made some major changes last year, including having gastric sleeve surgery, but the strength training has truly helped me become a lot stronger! My mobility has increased tremendously, by making simple tasks like tying my shoes, so much easier! I have much more flexibility and range of motion from working out there several times a week! Even though lower body days can be tough (I love upper body days!) I am thankful for the trainers at Inner Strength who offer encouragement and support, and are constantly on the mission to ensure the exercises are being done properly so that I can reap the most benefit from them. Yes, there are days when I wake up sore from using muscle groups that hadn't been worked in a while, or my legs and quads are sore from too many squats, but it is a good and gratifying kind of sore, letting me know that I got a good work out and reminding me that I'm only getting stronger!! Thanks Inner Strength!! I look forward to working with you for years to come!!

I AM SO HAPPY I DID. I discussed with Gina my goals of where I wanted to be. I was finally ready to take the jump for myself to get fit. She was respectful and realistic. I have hip and knee problems and she was able to customize a workout that listened to my body while making me feel like I was getting stronger. Thanks to her guidance I am now experiencing less knee and hip pain. Every week I get stronger and the pain is less. I even ran my first 5k which I never thought possible. I have continuously felt my progress. Week by week I am able to do more exercises, increased weight, or able to go from an assisted version to doing it myself. My mind and body feels wonderful. I am being pushed hard, but not too hard that I can't function in normal life and encouraged at the right moments. She asks for feedback on how my body feels. If and where I am sore. Shes an amazing trainer who really listens to you and your bodies needs. In three months I dropped two inches around my entire body. I am starting to see muscle definition. I have new motivation because my sister is getting married in a year, which means I want to be toned and feel confident as the maid of honor. Matt the owner is a great guy, with the addition of Gina, it is a great team. Gina and Matt are great individually and in small groups. I highly recommend this gym and the trainers that work there. This gym changed my life, I hadn't had the same results elsewhere.
