With an injury I started taking private lessons, already after 2 lessons I felt the impact on my shoulders (suffered from a frozen shoulder), and added group lessons after a couple of months to my schedule. Now I am addicted to Pilates and Bodyvita with an average of going 3 times a week, it completely changed my life style and it makes me feel great! Just try it out by taking an introduction package. Highly recommended.

One of the best pilates studios that I've been to (compared to NYC and LA). They have group mat and…read morespringboard classes and a series of equipment classes. From what I've seen the mat classes can get crowded but never seems to be more than 15 in the class. The springboard classes are a bit smaller. And the equipment series is limited to 6. And of course they offer private lessons. The teachers are terrific, attentive and really know their stuff. The studio gets lots of light and the equipment is all new with an excellent variety: springboard, cadillac, reformers, chairs, barrels, etc. Highly recommend it. Here's a tip: Sign up with one of the newly trained teachers for a private lessons and they may be available for free or a discounted cost. Definitely worth the ask!

Since I do Pilates 3-4 times a week, I did not want to skip a workout due to my holiday. I found…read morethis studio online and was so glad I did. After some correspondence, Jelena referred me to one of her instructors for 2 private lessons. The studio is very easy to locate and well worth your time to visit. This studio contains all the equipment you could possibly need for your workout, and the staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and so very personable. There was a group class going on as well as two trainers doing private lessons when I was there. However, there was no crowding or additional noise. My outstanding instructor was Jeffrey Ross who gave me an excellent work out, as we worked on my posture, body positioning, breathing and technique. Please, do not miss a work out because you are traveling, contact Jelena and she will help you coordinate you with a class or trainer.

This studio experience turned into a complete nightmare for me. The facility is filthy, smells like…read morecheap incense, and clearly doesn't meet basic health or safety standards. Every corner is covered in dirt and dust, and it feels completely neglected. The mold stench is in all of the bathroom facilities and locker rooms. The worst part was the low frequency atmosphere and lack of staff. The "instructor" Esther was aggressively rude and disrespectful. She locked us in the studio and refused to wait one minute for me to grab my bag after using the restroom. While I was washing my hands, she told me I should've just used the open showers--where several naked men were already showering or just standing around in their underwear on their cell phones. Absolutely NO privacy, NO boundaries, and NO policy to prevent public exposure or protect people's comfort. During class, a predator (male) was in nothing but see through underwear, and the instructor didn't even tell him how inappropriate this is for a public yoga class. This is simply not okay, considering this is expected to be a health and wellness experience. Nonetheless, this rotten place appears to be associated with Bikram Yoga, and if you haven't heard of the disturbing allegations behind it, I strongly encourage you to look it up. The culture at Movements reflects all the worst parts of that legacy. They merely disguise the names with "Hot C" and "Movements". Sincerely creepy, gross, and beyond frightening the demonic behavior Esther exhibited! I left feeling disrespected, unsafe, and honestly violated. Beware, consider your privacy and safety before stepping foot in this place.

For me in Amsterdam, this was the heated YogaFit 60 class at Movements with Lize, and it was incredible. Great, fun playlist: Sia and Spice Girls! YogaFit60 is like a Yoga Sculpt class (CorePower chain in US) for those unfamiliar. It combines yoga with light (or heavy) weights. Quite a few hardbodied gents in the class, which is always a welcome motivation boost. I found the class testing my limits, which was also welcome. The studio is gorgeous and has a tea nook. The actual practice rooms are located in an annex outside. The yoga room was spacious with mat and towels provided. Don't forget your complimentary coconut water with Yelp check-in!

I think it's more for people who can walk here. Downsides: Geen (no) towel service. - Locker room is stuff, no air and damp...greatly lacking in amenities. One little, nasty sink where people fill their water. The place needs some air! - Minimal bike parking. - the lockers have locks, but you need a 2-euro coin to get this bulky, non sanitary key chain to hang around your wrist? Really? Upsides; Facility is big. Has a sauna, steam room (co-ed) and the staff is nice. Nice eGym (extra cost) Music is not too loud. A great gym...wish it was a little cheaper and they had a better locker room.

Jeffrey Ross is an exceptional instructor. If you have the…read morechance to request him for private sessions, it is worth your time and euros. He is outstanding! Not only does he want to know what your injuries are and what health/movement goals you wish to achieve, but he listens to your body as well and understands your limitations. In other words, he understands that you may say one thing, but your body may say something else to him. The knowledge, expertise, training and personal experience he brings to each student is priceless. He has a gentle approach and truly wants to help you live pain free. And what a great workout! I was only in Amsterdam for a week and am so lucky I got to utilize 2 sessions with him. Do not hesitate to contact him. You will be so glad you did.
