My experience working with Dr. Cecily has been nothing short of wonderful. I've learned so much (in a short time!) about proper body mechanics, in addition to core strengthening and posture improvement exercises. I'd been living (painfully) with a weak pelvic floor, and carrying stress in my lower back for such a long time. I am overwhelmed by how much better I feel as a result of Dr. Cecily's expertise and care. I am so grateful to her! The studio has an inviting feel and the RF team welcomes patrons with a smile. The environment is friendly and unpretentious, and especially during the pandemic, I feel that my health and wellness is a priority to the team!

AWFUL EXPERIENCE! This studio is NOT warm and welcoming as they claim to be. As a person of color,…read moreI was treated so poorly and my concerns were dismissed. I am not new to Pilates and the owner was relentless in trying to gaslight me into buying a package for private sessions, which I cannot afford. The owner doesn't know to conduct herself ethically, and they repeatedly over charged my credit card to the point where I had to report them to my credit card company as fraud and had to cancel the card they had on file for me. The owner is a raving lunatic and so abusive. She yells at and demeans her staff in front of clients. It's no wonder there's such a high turn over with instructors, and anyone good instructor ends up quitting. The owner is socially inappropriate, she talks down to and is condescending to clients, she over shares intimate details of her dysfunctional personal life with clients, she has zero personal and professional boundaries, and clearly has a problem with alcohol. She's beyond inappropriate with clients, and has a history of engaging in sexual relationships with married male clients and when caught, then cries that she's a victim of sexual assault. She is mentally unstable! She has instructors who just became certified running her teacher training, which is beyond inappropriate. With so many Pilates studios in Metro Detroit, do yourself a favor and avoid this awful place like the plague. You'll thank me later!

My body has seen a hugeeeee difference since I have began. I noticed since Iv been coming to barre, I have been super toned and so defined, I love it! Super obsessed with the workouts, every class Barre has to offer is great! It's the small movements for me. You would have never thought using small movements would activate muscles you didn't even know existed!! Iv been doing Barre for about 8 months now, I started in February and I will not be leaving anytime soon! I go at least 3 times a week! All the instructors are amazing, MaryLiz is my favorite! And I have to say, I have knee and back pain but Barre workouts do NOT impact any of the problems Ive had, if anything it's helping my knees and back!! Winter is almost here and it's time to get in, I promise you 2026 is gonna be a hot girl summa!! If you join now!!!

Blink and you'll miss it - the sign is small and in the window front. It's not a huge place, and most of their space extends the long way back through the building, leaving the actual storefront you see on the street rather narrow and small. When you walk inside, you see the super cool, urban loft style to the studio - one large room with gleaming hardwood floor, exposed brick wall, and Detroit artwork hung about. They offer group classes and personal training sessions only, so this is not your standard "drop in and work out on your own" gym. The schedule has regular spin, zumba, pilates, and yoga classes, and personal training sessions can be scheduled by appointment. Classes are reasonably priced, you must schedule and reserve ahead (no drop ins) because the place is small and they don't want to overbook. But, the scheduling system is online, very simple, and allows you to add in or cancel nearly right up until the class start time. Every class I've gone to was a hit - energetic and helpful instructors and good music! The clientele tends to be lots of young professionals who live nearby in Corktown, Midtown, downtown, etc. and everyone is very friendly. All levels of fitness welcome. I only wish True Body would add a few more varieties of classes to their schedule (kickboxing, please!!!) and maybe some more Saturday day times, so I could go more often. Check the website for a $5 class deal for first timers, and also their month unlimited packages.

Located in a rather sparse looking part of town, there's ample street parking. They offer a TRUE AND FREE WEEK OF CLASSES. You know the drill with these gyms, they offer you a free week pass but you have to go in person, get the spiel from one of their sales reps, fill out tons of crap, and get hounded with ads and phone calls for the rest of your life until you join - not so here. Go online and sign up with their class scheduler, and if you've ever taken any class at one of these boutique gyms then you're already familiar with the Mind Body Connect platform. Add the "one week free" item to your cart and sign up for classes. DONE. I walked in that same day for a 90min spin class. No calls or questions when I stopped going. Some might prefer more attention, which I get, but I was thrilled with their hands off approach. Totally friendly, worth checking out. For you spinners out there, they have a series of classes that work towards riding a full century. I'm definitely going to check that out when it comes around again.

I researched where to begin my Pilates journey for quite awhile and am so glad I found Karen. I signed up for weekly private sessions (newbie!) on the reformer and looked forward to it each week. Even if I was tired before the class, Karen's instructing and positivity could turn that around. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and welcoming. She helped me gradually improve and learn more complicated sequences without it seeming too complex. I told her that my body, especially my back, always felt like a million bucks after our sessions and have referred many friends to see her. I recently moved away from the area and she was instrumental in helping me find a new Pilates home. She also helped me learn how to do stretches at home and recommended equipment. She even let me try out her roller at home for an extended time because I didn't want to buy a large roller right before moving out of state-who does that? My husband, who thought Pilates was only for girls, even started Pilates because I raved about her classes so much. She tailored our duet class so that we each had a great session! Karen is not only a wonderful teacher but also a genuinely caring person. I will definitely book a class when I am back in the area and wish I could still make it for my weekly sessions!
