StraightUp Pilates is a fantastic addition to Springdale. For those who are not familiar with Pilates, it is a low-impact exercise that helps with strength, flexibility, and alignment, and even the smallest Pilates movements can have a BIG impact! Jeri Ann, the owner, is a very knowledgeable teacher with a fun and caring personality. She provides individual attention to each student, even in a group class. I leave class feeling like I just had a great workout even we do very small movements. Jeri Ann really understands how to communicate with her students.
The studio is small and has a great energy. It's clean and comforting and very PURPLE, which I love. Mats and props are provided, so you don't have to worry about lugging around equipment. All of the equipment is cleaned at the end of class.
Jeri Ann offers group classes and one-on-one sessions. I've only taken her group classes, but I know people who take private classes think she's wonderful. StraightUp has a really cool reformer apparatus for private sessions so you can get an even deeper workout that's even more gentle on the body.
I'm excited about taking more classes at StraightUp and encourage everyone to take advantage of the first class for $10 special! read more
