My physical therapist referred me to Olena who I saw while going through a period in my life with…read moreparticularly difficult medical needs. She was able to adjust to my hurting body and offered practical solutions to maintaining as much strength as possible while I was under physical restrictions. She helped me develop home protocols and had suggestions that will help me for my lifetime rather than just while I'm with her. Her suggestions made me more independent in my pilates practice which is an exceptional gift coming from someone whose income is based per session. She thought carefully about my needs and developed an approach to improve my health and wellbeing. I recommend her. I have since moved, but would consult with her for future recommendations to improve my pilates practice.

I am so lucky to have found Ashburn Core Pilates. The instructors are phenomenal, the space is…read moreinviting and warm, and there is a special sense of community here that makes me look forward to coming every week. Each instructor is knowledgeable and makes sure to check in with their students for any injuries or anything of note and will make adjustments throughout the class. The classes are small and people from different age groups and body types are welcomed, treated fairly, and cared for by amazing staff. Karen is great about being calming while encouraging you to challenge your limits. James is funny and introduces new advancing techniques every class. Danielle recently renovated the space and it turned out great. Really recommend this studio to anyone in the Ashburn area.

I came across this place when I searched for hot yoga…read more I tried Inferno Strength with Juju and Inferno Hot Pilates /Pilates Sculpt. I wasn't really sure what to expect for either class. Inferno Strength: This was my first heated lifting class. Luckily we weren't using heavy weights, not sure I'd want to sweat when lifting heavy!!! The max weight was maybe 20lbs? 25 lbs? I definitely enjoyed the class. There were a lot of bilateral and unilateral moves using weights. In the last part of the class, we were able to do sets of our favorite exercise. Inferno Hot Pilates /Pilates Sculpt: The class started off on the floor, then standing up, so being in the back and the music loud, it was a little hard to follow along, but I improvised. Everyone was going at their own pace, so that made it a little harder to see/follow the instructor. There were a lot of bilateral and unilateral moves using light weights and the block. This class left me sore for the rest of the week, so definitely worth it! The signs are little confusing as some say they do not provide mats, but it looks like there were some available (packaged and not). Also, they say late comers won't be admitted, but a couple people showed up late for one of the classes. There is a separate weight lifting area, for separate lifting classes, which I would love to try. It looks like there are about 5 different classes offered and only one of each class each day. They provide toiletries in the bathroom and have combination lockers. There is parallel parking in front and a full parking lot in the back. Would I return? for sure!

I loved all three classes I tried while visiting my sister. I tried burnout, pop Pilates and hot…read morePilates sculpt. All were challenging but the instructors were wonderful. I didn't think I'd last through the heat but somehow the instructors and my water bottle helped me push through the pain. Autumn was very funny with the yelling through the pain during the 5:30 am class (I was screaming inside during all the pulsing). I loved her energy. Shelly helped correct my form during Pilates and was so great with instructors and Sara was super encouraging and helped recommend the right weights for each exercise. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first time exercising in a million degrees. Overall, great gym with wonderful people and amazing instructors. My favorite part is the lavender towel in the end. I hope to take more classes when I'm in the area!

I've done rowing and cycling before, but never in an infared sauna!…read more They offer one free class to try, so I tried the Hot Buns class. I was given the mat and towel, but not the foam roll and band(s), so I had to improvise. They have a month-to-month package ("paid in full" not commitment/enrollment fee) and a 6-month package with an enrollment fee. The packages include all the classes; however, the isometric classes require a mat and towel purchase ($100) or daily rental ($5/use). I didn't want to commit to 6 months, so I chose the PIF for one month and only did the HIIT classes. There is also a special membership that allows access to other locations. Their website (hotworx.net/workouts) has previews of each workout, which is helpful when booking the classes. I love the app as members can book their own sessions and as many sessions as desired. There aren't any booking, cancellation or late fees. I was able to book 3-6 HIIT classes back to back, and change them at the last minute. The rooms are meant to fit 3 people, except for Hot Blast, which only has 2 rowing machines. Luckily, most people just book their own rooms and don't double book in a room that's already occupied. The HIIT classes are each 15 minutes long and the isometric classes are 30-45(ish) minutes long. There also a separate workout section in the back with free weights, TRX, etc. The vending machine includes snacks, hydrating beverages and miscellaneous items including blue tooth earbuds, towel, etc. They are open 24/7, but staffed during the daytime. Members can enter any time with a code that is provided upon signing up. There is also an app that grants access. Would I return? absolutely!

When I was 20, I knocked my pelvic bones a little out of alignment playing racquetball. My…read moretraditional doc took an x-ray, pronounced me "fine," and I continued on my way with a little pain. As I got older, related problems developed, and at 50, I discovered chiropractic medicine where I was able to have my bones knocked back into place. But it never held because the muscles had adjusted to the bad alignment, so I spent 7 years getting weekly readjustment with no permanent fix. By 58, my hip had become chronically painful and I developed a limp that became more and more pronounced. I tried stretching and yoga along with chiropractic, but nothing helped. Then I found Restore PT & Wellness and Viraj. She immediately started me in physical therapy and Pilates, adding a new chiropractor for deep muscle manipulation. My posture improved, but the damage was done to the hip joint, and full hip replacement was my only option. Reluctantly, I had the surgery on July 5th, and 4 days later began PT again with Viraj. She soon added Pilates and medical massage with Pierre, also at Restore PT & Wellness; and four months later, I am walking almost completely normally and completely pain free. Viraj is extremely knowledgeable, customizes her approach to whatever you need, and is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. The entire Restore PT & Wellness practice is an amazing group of people, and Viraj is a shining star. I can't imagine going to any other Pilates instructor or any other physical therapist; her ability to incorporate the two disciplines is incredibly helpful. I did use my health plan's physical therapists for a short time after surgery because it was so inexpensive, but you truly get what you pay for. The difference with Viraj is the total attention to my individual needs, and her willingness to do whatever it takes to get me fully functional again. She is wonderful!!
