I joined group classes as soon as the introductory series was complete and now I'm enjoying 3 classes a week and thinking about it everyday. All of the teachers I've taken classes from have been fantastic. They are sensitive to any physical limitations I may have, yet know how to safely push me to go beyond what I ever thought I could do. I love their "come as you are" philosophy and I've never felt intimidated or out of place. I so appreciate the increased strength and mobility I'm building because of these classes.

Harassing potential new customers to take a first class is NOT a good look and completely turned me off to the business.

She provides an amazing full body workout and helps you work with your body at your own pace. She first teaches you the basic fundamental exercises and how to use of the equipment but Laura's classic pilates instruction quickly develops a real awareness for your own body. You will learn to work with ALL the parts of your body (including the brain!) and even the transitions between exercises are important to keep the work one seamless continuous flow. And yes, you will sweat! It's quite obvious that Laura absolutely loves pilates and the great respect that she has for the classic pilates really shows. Also, the studio is clean, airy and has lots of natural light, and conveniently located in downtown Davis. 100% recommended!

Yesterday I had my first ever Pilates lesson and today I'm thinking what kind of timeline I need to…read moreput in place to become a Pilates instructor. This place is legit! I had a lesson with owner Laura Cotler, and it was one of the most eye-opening workouts. She spent a lot of time going over the fundamentals of breath work, alignment, and getting me comfortable with the equipment. It was a great mix of feeling like I could actually do some cool stuff already (shoulder bridges, anyone?) and realizing I was like jello in muscles I didn't even know I had. I really like Laura's teaching style, in fact she reminded me of my former ballet instructor. She was very confident and has an eye for detail that seemed intuitive. I can be kind of a sensitive flower when it comes to one-on-one training and she kept it relaxed and focused without pressure. She seems like a real person and not a crazed workout Barbie. She also addressed every one of my concerns I had that other yoga instructors, even physical therapists had blown off, like ankle pronation and hyperextension in my knees. I also love the free long sleeved stretchy black logo T-shirt I got with my first lesson! I wore it around town the rest of the day and felt super svelte. Some other cool things: 1. The studio is open and light with cork floors and feels and looks very clean. 2. Bathroom is clean and well-stocked. 3. Free 3 hour parking in the garage directly behind the studio. 4. Unlike yoga where everyone has to be silent squirrel, Pilates studios often have a couple private lessons and classes running at once without creating distraction. I don't like to do my workouts in silence. Makes me nervous. Unlike the gym though, everyone seems very focused on their own work. No "how you doin'?" 5. I bought a package deal for private lessons which saved me some dough. 6. Online booking for classes and private lessons. I scheduled another private lesson with Laura for next week and I'll be counting the days!

TLDR: Great studio for hot pilates and vinyasa. Affordable, well-run, and the instructors know what…read morethey're doing. Steve is a standout for hot pilates -- expect a solid workout. New to vinyasa but have enjoyed both teachers I've had; the flow and rhythm come naturally once you're in it. A few practical notes for newcomers: arrive 15 minutes early to claim your spot. Morning and early afternoon tend to be less crowded. Bring your own mat and two towels -- one for the mat, one to wipe down. Light clothing is a must, and pack a change of clothes if you run warm. Mats are available and towels are sold if needed. Cubbies for shoes and bags, plus a dressing room and bathroom on-site. Plans are affordable and worth it.

Sue helped me get to my goal and convinced me that working out could be fun. After NOT DOING Pilates for over 5 years, I'm back with Sue at her own studio. Unfortunately, I have put on weight and actually have quite a few aches and pains. Sue is helping me address these problems and is working with me to get stronger and become pain-free. After just 2+ months, I can see some physical changes already and I'm slowly becoming pain-free. She is good at assessing the problem and makes adjustments in order to minimize and eliminate pain. Some of my flexibility and strength are returning and this time, I'm committed to continuing Pilates with Sue.

Both Heather and Sandra are amazing, they pay personalized attention to each student in a class making sure we are all taken care of.
