This review is specifically for the instructor, Nancy Bright, and not a reflection of the different…read moreinstructors or this studio as a whole, as the studio owner, Alia, followed up with me on this. My friend and I recently attended a Reformer 1/2 class with Nancy Bright and left feeling humiliated and embarrassed. She was aggressive and dismissive, especially toward students unfamiliar with classical pilates, but familiar with contemporary pilates, which she deems as "not real pilates." Instructions were not explained, and solely used terminology. When we didn't immediately understand, she scolded us, showed frustration, and PHYSICALLY FORCED our bodies into the positions she wanted. These positions were often uncomfortable and borderline painful, with no attempts or offers of modifications. She even made a remark that she knew she was "manhandling" us. Egregiously, when she was unhappy with my plank and was frustrated, I did not understand how she wanted me to fix it, she SLAPPED MY BUTT REPEATEDLY and repeated what she wanted me to do as if that would suddenly make me understand. She even admitted to slapping previous students' butts to "get their attention." As someone new to Pilates, I felt unsafe, embarrassed, and extremely humiliated. I had high expectations based on positive reviews, but this experience has left me so unsettled that I will not be returning.

All the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful throughout each series of movements. The space is clean, beautiful, and easy to access. I appreciate the small, intimate class sizes, as they allow for more personal attention and guidance. In my opinion, the best part about this studio is the variety of classes available, catering to different levels and experiences. My first class was a prenatal series, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and it made me feel welcomed into the studio community. The best part is the owner she is extremely knowledgeable and personable but most of all informative, always attuned to the individual needs of each class, and is just a wealth of knowledge of her pilates expertise. From Profesional ballet dancers to new moms this class. I've seen an older community of women who were so strong and ushered me in to challenging movements alongside given such encouragement. The only draw back I wish there were more class times for mommas I just can't get enough..

My girlfriend and I signed up for a Six-Week Pilates Reformer Duet Session with Eurona via…read moreLivingsocial deal and were pleased with the results. I have prior Pilates experience (barre/reformer/chair/mat) and girlfriend had none, but picked things up quickly. I think Eurona did a really good job of keeping me challenged as well as focused on technique, while giving my gf the cuing she needed to understand the movements. The studio itself is tucked away in an office park off of rt 29. Actually, if you take the hot lanes on 495 (like I did) to get there the rt 29 exit drops you off almost exactly where you need to be. Epiphany Pilates offers a variety of classes; mat (levels 1-3), reformer (privates and duets), yoga and bootybarre. So there is something for everyone. They have a large open studio space for the group classes and then two smaller rooms for privates. I like the studio set up; this way, you don't feel like you are interrupting anyone's session. I enjoyed my time at Epiphany Pilates, I would recommend the private sessions to anyone wanting to learn more about form and technique. I am also interested in going back for some bootybarre. Eurona clearly has a passion for what she does, and her studio is reflection of that.

I have been training with Lilia for over one year. Her studio is very charming, minimal, and…read morequiet. This allows for no distractions during my pilates sessions. I have trained with a few other studios in the metro area. This studio is by far my favorite. I will not go anywhere else for my private sessions.

Carla had me work with Diane and she helped pop my pelvic bone back into place. I continued with private lessons and was amazed at how quickly my entire body strengthened, and more importantly how much better I felt performing everyday tasks with my brand new pilates body. Every instructor I've worked with at Studio Be is super knowledgable and focuses on what you (their client) needs. Classes are small enough that you get the proper attention from your trainer, which helps get great results. My posture has been amazing and the pain in my back is much less. Unlike a big corporate gym, this studio has a great atmosphere, it's clean, the ladies are fun, and it's a place you'll love to get your workout on at!

I love Studio Be. I love being greeted by a smile when I…read morewalk in for my class. I love that there are multiple seating areas, a spacious bathroom and plenty of cubies to go around. I love their staff and how hard they push their students to grow and dig a little deeper while still focusing on proper form. I love the wide variety of classes they offer and the fact that they have the occasional special and even offer some free classes on the plaza. I love that they hold community events and seem to genuinely care about their students. To be honest, I haven't ever found such a feeling of community at any of the other Pilates or Yoga studios I have been to. Fairfax is very lucky to have such a wonderful studio and I am very glad I stuck it out through that first barre class. Since then, I have had so much fun going through the intro equipment classes, getting to know different teachers, fine tuning movements, and getting pointers on how to take my practice to the next level. I have also thoroughly enjoyed taking advantage of the Dog Days of Summer package they offered in August and taking unlimited barre classes. A+

The vibe is super welcoming, not cliquey at all, and you'll see all ages, sizes, and body types in class. It's the first workout I've ever stuck with for more than six months, and the classes + music keep me motivated. Pro tip: early mornings usually have plenty of room, and try each format a few times--you'll get more out of it once you learn the movements. Pure Barre is such a great workout for strength, stability, and overall fitness. For me, I don't count this as my cardio. My heart rate gets up, but not consistently in the cardio range so this is a supplement to my cardio.

The group classes at the Pilates Room are small enough to give me the personal attention I need. The instructors have SUCH great attitudes!! I've had unfortunate lessons elsewhere where I felt I was being talked down to (it's tough for a novice), while here I feel like family. The massages are great too! I'm used to asking for more pressure just about everywhere I go, but when I asked this of my favorite masseuse here, Daniella, I had to tell her to back off! Seriously the first time I've said this during a massage! Can't recommend this place enough. The owner, Janine, has seriously put together the most talented, attentive staff I've come across. Keeping things small has given her the ability to exercise complete quality control. Go check it out, I promise you won't be disappointed, and you'll feel great after whatever session you attend.
