Last night was my first time at firefly yoga. A friend and I did the gentle flow yoga with Theresa…read more The class was small and welcoming. Theresa geared each move to everyone's ability offering props and support for different moves. Theresa showed patience with us beginners while still maintaining a beneficial class for the more advanced students. The facility was clean and very pleasant. They have everything you could need. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. I highly recommend this studio. I will be going back.

Patti is an instructor extraordinaire! Several friends recommended her, and I have not been…read moredisappointed. I have been a client for 4 years. Patti's workouts/routines are customized for each client. She accurately assess needs and builds unique routines to meet those needs. She tracks progress and builds on that progress, so that not only are my routines unique to me - no two sessions of mine have ever been the same. When the pandemic hit, she seamlessly transitioned to online classes. She was able to replicate routines that had used machines with handheld equipment that I either had, purchased, or borrowed from Patti. (yes - she has loaned out her own equipment so that clients can continue to work out). I have no hesitation in recommending Patti - and can't wait to get back into the studio to work with her in person! Nancy - Needham, MA

LOVE this studio. I…read morewent to a Pilates Barre Fusion class this morning and couldn't be happier. Dynamic and challenging -- in all the best ways. I am just thrilled to have learned about this new studio in Westwood. I was having a hard time finding a Pilates/Barre class in the neighborhood. Also, the class was $15 -- very reasonable. And on-site parking -- definitely a plus.

I was lucky to have a private class with Ellen of Core Asset Fitness, and I highly recommend the…read moreexperience. Ellen has a wide range of knowledge about the human body, from her training not just as a yoga teacher, but also as Nurse. I always feel that the more Vinyasa Yoga classes I take, the more questions I have! Ellen helped me with the proper alignment for my body and range of flexibility. She also showed me some pointers to help with specific postures that made me feel I was really getting the pose for the first time. Great experience, great teacher.

My instructor, Sam, kicks my ass every class without me even knowing. I don't really sweat during class but then my whole body is sore the next day (sorcery!). I had a private session first and then signed up for a pack of 10 TWS classes. The only thing I wished they had was a better scheduling system where I can go in to see which classes I've attended/missed. They charge for missed TWS classes, which is fine and I understand why they do that. But it'll help hold both parties accountable (myself and Boston Pilates) if I can visually see which classes I've missed and need to make up. There's no formal checkin process so I'll have to rely on memory or their words that I attended (or missed) a class. This is in NO way saying that I don't trust them, just that I think the scheduling system can be improved. An option to reload a pack of TWS classes and pay online would be helpful too!
