This is a new studio in Orchard Park. They use Megaformers here. Think Pilates reformers on…read moresteroids. I think there are 8 Megaformers in the lovely studio space. Parking is in back and the entrance is right there too, super convenient. Going in there is a beautiful reception area with comfortable seating. Sign In is easy. You can come dressed in workout clothes or change in one of the three large restrooms. Two of them that I saw had nice large showers as well. I didn't see bath towels so assume you bring those. I'd suggest bath mats in those rooms though as the floors will be slippery when wet. The class itself is a timed 40 min. Each day the sequence is different, I'm not sure if this is a national program that all places follow (like orange theory) or if the owner is making them up daily. But they will be different. This is not a chain so I imagine she's making up the routines daily. She holds a stopwatch and each exercise is done at your own pace, not by rep numbers. The idea is sloooow movements. And she will encourage you to go slooooower. So it's all about that movement and not relaxing or resting for that movement period. It's a full body workout, all low impact, but depending on how hard you work it could result in a raised heart rate. If done right it will likely result in some sore muscles, many you may not have felt for a long time. The movements are designed to hit areas you won't get from running or weight lifting. I enjoyed it a lot. I felt the exercises during and after the session. You'll get results quickly if you come here regularly (2,3 times a week). This is a nice addition to the options in Orchard Park and the Buffalo area. 2020

I heard about this method of exercise and was looking for a different workout for core strength. I…read morehave a slight amount of arthritis in my knees, so I wanted something that wouldn't cause pain. This workout was absolutely perfect. The instructor assisted me with how to properly stand/pull/bend/push/contort so that the proper muscles were being utilized to their fullest potential. The class flew by - we were busy working every moment and didn't really have time to think about a drink of water (I did pause to wipe sweat out of my eyes). I took my first class last night, and this morning I went to my regular work out and I couldn't believe how many muscles in unusual areas (such as in my stomach) ached. I highly recommend this Megaformer class!!

And a smaller space downstairs for Pilates reformer. There is also a boutique with a beautiful selection of athletic wear and accessories.

The great Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones is quoted as saying, "it's not the years honey, it's the…read moremileage." Ain't that God's honest truth. After years of throwing around heavy equipment and being too much of a "dude" to ask for help, I was finally convinced to at least *start* taking care of my body. I met Kerri through my sister and she offered to help me begin to address problems I've had with my back and legs for years. To gain anything from this review you must know that I am very stubborn and a bit of a skeptic when it comes to what I consider "new age hokum." But I agreed to give it a shot because well, I need to. To begin with, Kerri is incredibly patient as she walks you through the various stretches and attempts at realignment. Always positive, always reassuring, and will explain and reexplain things until a monkey like me understands it. That's a huge plus to me, that someone isn't looking to just assembly line you through the session to get you in and out the door. She genuinely cares about your health and improvement. I have only been with her for three sessions and I am already starting to feel the results. My upper spine feels much better and I have a lot less pain in my lower spine. My Achilles tendons have also been a major source of pain for me and Kerri has helped me start to correct those problems along with pronation issues in my feet. All this in just three sessions! So if you have issues with your body and you are ready to address them, or if you need someone to help you get your mind right, I can think of no better person to begin the process with! You can thank me later...

Having tried other types of workout programs, this is by far the best thing I have ever done for my body and mind.
