Studio Be Pilates has been a savior to me on several different occasions and has made me fall in love with pilates! I first gave it a try when I was in severe pain and almost couldn't walk. Carla had me work with Diane and she helped pop my pelvic bone back into place. I continued with private lessons and was amazed at how quickly my entire body strengthened, and more importantly how much better I felt performing everyday tasks with my brand new pilates body. Every instructor I've worked with at Studio Be is super knowledgable and focuses on what you (their client) needs. Classes are small enough that you get the proper attention from your trainer, which helps get great results. My posture has been amazing and the pain in my back is much less. Unlike a big corporate gym, this studio has a great atmosphere, it's clean, the ladies are fun, and it's a place you'll love to get your workout on at! read more

I love Studio Be. I love being greeted by a smile when I walk in for my class. I love that there are multiple seating areas, a spacious bathroom and plenty of cubies to go around. I love their staff and how hard they push their students to grow and dig a little deeper while still focusing on proper form. I love the wide variety of classes they offer and the fact that they have the occasional special and even offer some free classes on the plaza. I love that they hold community events and seem to genuinely care about their students. To be honest, I haven't ever found such a feeling of community at any of the other Pilates or Yoga studios I have been to. Fairfax is very lucky to have such a wonderful studio and I am very glad I stuck it out through that first barre class. Since then, I have had so much fun going through the intro equipment classes, getting to know different teachers, fine tuning movements, and getting pointers on how to take my practice to the next level. I have also thoroughly enjoyed taking advantage of the Dog Days of Summer package they offered in August and taking unlimited barre classes. A+ read more

StudioBe is everything I've ever wanted in an exercise studio: supportive and knowledgeable trainers; friendly and fun staff and fellow students. The virtual sessions have been a lifesaver during the pandemic, and it's great to continue to have them as an option now that the studio is reopening. My backaches are all gone, and the trainers know just how to ease other pains as they arise in my 70-something-year-old body! read more

My mom is a regular at this place, and since the end of the summer, so am I. For two weeks, I took the barre class with Robyn and loved it. The class doesn't seem like it, but it's actually really intense, and you will wake up the next day feeling some soreness around your thighs and arms - which is great. Lately, I've been taking one-on-one pilates classes with Vicky and Julia (and I took it once with Nancy as well). They are all very lovely and I have a blast every time I go there. I have scoliosis and have also a horrible posture, but since I started going there, I feel myself standing a little bit taller and more aware of my posture. It has honestly been great, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to become more aware of their body, have a good workout and feel better. read more

Studio Be Pilates has a great intro special of $30 for 3 classes for barre. I had been wanting to try barre for a while but I always felt like classes were too expensive or they weren't at times that worked with my work and grad school schedule. Studio Be was recommended to me, and I'm so glad I tried it! Parking was convenient at the times I took classes however I'm sure it could be challenging when fairfax corner is crowded. The receptionist was friendly and greeted my roommates and myself. The first class I tried was Barre Basic with Neuhy. I really enjoyed it. Neuhy was great, and while at times I or my roommates struggled in the class, we were never singled out or felt awkward for needing a break. The second class I took was the Saturday morning barre blast class. I personally preferred this class because it was more fast paced, and just More my style. It was quite a bit more crowded than barre basic (6 people vs 12 People), but it was still great. All in all I enjoy studio be and would go back. My only wish is that they would offer more specials for Barre for non-new clients. read more

I have taught exercise and was ACE certified. I have taken several classes at BE because it is close to my home. I have had two classes where they were sloppy with start times -- including the owner wasting about 7 minutes of our time fiddling with the lights. She should have had that taken care of BEFORE my class. Instructors spend too much time talking in between exercises and I find the cueing to be way too wordy. Master instructors usually say far less and their cues are specific and evocative. Just ok. read more

Just a warning. Make sure you will use an entire package when you sign up for it, because there is no way to use it for products or otherwise if you change your mind. In all fairness, Studio B Pilates does make it clear that the package I purchased is non-refundable. However, I soon found another exercise system that I like much better, and was hoping that I could use my remaining $200 dollars for something else (clothing, etc.). Can not do, so I've lost $200 dollars. Live and learn. read more

Started off with a Living social offer in March and I haven't stopped since. I come out a few times a week all way from Ashburn, but it's well worth it to me. I love the studio, it's well designed and has top of the line equipment. Some of my favorite teachers are Susan, Nancy C., and Mary. I love the equipment classes, and the personal attention and interest the staff show. I highly recommend Studio Be; classes are so fun that you forget you're getting a good workout in. read more

YAAAASSS! I'm am so happy my gf sent me a link to this site..we both signed up for the summer package which is 1 barre, mat, or yoga class per day until Sept 7 for $199..this might seem steep but 10 barre classes are around $185 and if you take advantage like we are by going 5 days a week you're really getting your money's worth. Money aside, this is the first fitness class I've done in about 2 years and I love it already..tonight is the 4th time with an instructor I haven't had yet and I'm equally excited to try. So far we've had Geri, Heather, and Molly- all have kicked our butts in their own way while being supportive, encouraging, and patient with each of our fitness levels (mine specifically bc I seriously lack in the "in-shape" department). I can't wait to see the progress after a few more classes and at the beginning of September. One of the best decisions I've made. read more

Love the barre classes here!!! So much fun and great workout. Haven't tried pilates classes yet, but I'm sure they're all great. It's also so conveniently located in Fairfax corner! Would recommend to anyone looking for a different fun type of exercise! read more

My wife and I have been coming to the studio for 6 years. It is tops. The vibe is friendly, the instructors are fantastic (go Deneen, Diane, and Melissa). A regular pilates exercise commitment makes a huge differnce in one's life. MM Fairfax, VA read more

went there to start building up on the muscle. It is a cool place with some very professional instructors. I had ben going to the Y at reston but it was becoming boring and crowded, so a girlfriend introduced this palce. Mat tower class was awesome. I think I will stick to this place. Parking is no issue. read more

I have been going to Studio BE on and off for about 3 years now. There are some classes and some instructors there I just love, and they're the reason I keep coming back (despite some of the strict policies and the high cost). I love, love, love Sara. She makes it so much fun and I always leave feeling worked and relaxed. She cares a lot about making the exercises work for me, especially taking care to help strengthen and align my really terrible, cartilage-less knees. Sara in particular is very interested in anatomy and physiology and really understands how all your parts fit together and how to best exercise them. If I could afford it, I'd take a private with Sara several times a week and I would probably be in amazing shape! She's awesome. I also have taken from Sherri, whom is also amazing, nice, fun, very knowledgeable and experienced. The barre classes are killer in a good way, and I always enjoy getting by butt kicked by Molly and Neuhy. Seriously can't ask for a better workout. And they always try to make sure you're doing the exercises correctly so that you get the most out of them without possibly hurting yourself. Neuhy is especially sweet and I wish I could make it to her classes more often. My favorite classes are always the equipment and barre classes, hands down. Equipment leaves me feeling like I had a work out (and most of the time sore the next day), but also super relaxed and aligned. I can feel a difference when I go consistently. My back feels better, my posture is better, my knees hurt less, etc. And barre is just an amazing work out. If you want to slim down for summer, that is your top choice! The *only* things I don't particularly like about the studio are the late cancel and pricing. It's expensive. Not that Pilates is the most affordable exercise ever, but it does tend to break the bank. And the packages don't offer much of a discount. It also burns me that the late cancel policy is so strict. I have a hectic job and often unexpectedly have to stay late, causing me to miss classes. And each time I have to cough up the full price for the class. It makes me less tempted to book classes. It would be one thing if you could just reschedule, but you can't. You're just out the money. They also sometimes cram in so any people into the small barre room that it becomes hard to move and extremely hot. It just makes it kind of miserable. And I don't think Carla is the nicest woman to ever walk the planet. I've been going to there for several years and I don't think I've ever even seen a smile on her face! But I will say that even though that last paragraph was negative, over all I love the studio. The ladies who work there are awesome and they are the reason I keep going back. Honestly, I'm hesitant to move away from where we live now just because I know I wouldn't see them as much! read more

I purchased a Living Social deal for mat/tower combo classes, and I absolutely loved them! The studio is bright and cheerful, the classes are small (no more than four people in a class for mat-tower combo), and I was even lucky enough to be the only person in a class one day. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and will help you with modifications if you have an injury. If you sign up online for a class, you'll get an e-mail reminder the day before, which is great because they have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If I lived closer, I'd be there all the time. read more

The classes and teachers are fine. My issue is with management. I bought a package which doesn't expire. Not long after doing this, yoga classes were taken off of the schedule as well as others, different levels of Pilates, etc. I took a break from classes for a medical reason and when I inquired about using the rest of my package funds towards massage or other non-class things (seminars, etc.) was told 1) they no longer had that service and 2) even if they did it wouldn't be covered under the package. I waited a while thinking I'd feel comfortable going back to mat classes, but decided to inquire about a refund. After no response to my email for a month, I called and was told it had been archived. I spoke to someone and was told that even with a doctor's note, no refund was possible. I emailed with a follow-up question to the conversation and it's been 2 months with no reply. I would not recommend. read more

I did the a barre class (sat morning ) it was just one intro class i had a promo card , thought i try it out so i did the class wasn't to hard but just challenging enough . In the beginning of class the instructor didn't introduce herself or ask my name or said hi your first time in ? So i felt a little awkward because i expected her to lead me and let me know the rundown how class was going to be ext .. She did help me out through out some of the moves though . Also u have to clean your mat at the end of class which i thought was weird ,there only four of us ? Every gym i have ever been to the trainers did this but i guess its what they do there ? Also i called before to sign up for the class no one picked up i even left a message and still no call back , i say all this to say because when i got there there were ladies everywhere !?! So when i signed up in person before class she told me your in luck the class isn't full but i also emailed and then I got a response a few days later so that confused me a bit . read more

Started in March. I love it!!!! I was looking for a workout that would make me feel better and this is it and this is the place. Staff are very professional and very friendly. I don't feel out of place as a fifty something but there are all age ranges. You can't go wrong if you are looking for a great workout that leaves you feeling better. read more

I have really tried to like this place, but they're just too snotty. I am willing to pay the price for a great place to work out and actually two personal trainers right now. I've never done Pilates but was really excited to try Studio Be Pilates! It's super close to my house so I was planning on coming in a lot! The first time I went in the women there acted like I was some kind of joke! Keep in mind I'm 5'9" and 120 lbs and in great shape. I left feeling embarrassed that I wanted to try something new. The second time I went in I took the barre class. It was really fun but the teacher was really snotty.. I thought oh well ya can't win them all and ill keep coming and eventually she'll warm up. Then I tried to do a walk in because I was running late. The girls again where super snotty and turned me away. I finally called ahead before I came in and the girl on the phone was so rude and told me I couldn't take the all levels equipment class because I would get hurt, therefore, I should buy privates with a trainer. I'd already tried buying privates but the instructor didn't want anything to do with me. That was my last attempt. I will continue to work out my two trainers and throw the towel in on the Pilates idea. I hope you have better luck with these ladies than I have! read more

I have been practicing pilates for four years, and have taken classes at most of the studios in Northern VA (Inner Core Wellness, Better Body, Studio Prawda, Pengu, Church Street Pilates, as well as Falls Church Pilates, which has now closed). I live in Fairfax, and was excited to find a studio close to home. I decided to check this place out with a Living Social deal. I was so disappointed with the mat classes that I didn't even finish the series. Pilates, when practiced on a mat, is taught in a specific sequence. Strengthening exercises are mixed with stretching No matter where you go, the sequence should be similar. You probably can't fit *all* the exercises in an hour, but there are a number of exercises that all mat classes should have. Joseph Pilates designed pilates this way for a reason. The Studio Be instructors don't teach traditional pilates. I only recognized a few of the exercises. They focused almost exclusively on abs, and did a lot of non-pilates stretching exercises using therabands (not a traditional pilates prop). Usually, I leave a pilates class feeling all my major muscle groups - particularly the core - have been worked. I didn't feel that way after taking mat classes here. If you have never practiced pilates before, and don't know any better, you might like this place, but if you are an experienced pilates student, you will probably be disappointed. read more

I have been looking for some new fitness ideas outside of the regular gym, and when a living social deal for this nearby Pilates studio came across I grabbed it. I have been to two classes, and enjoyed both of them. The studio is located in Fairfax Corner, so it's easy to get to and there is plenty of parking. The studio keeps class sizes small, so the instructors can walk around and really help make sure you are in the right positions and doing the movements correctly. I have had two different instructors in the two classes I've taken so far, but both have seemed very knowledgeable, and have been friendly. Taking classes with different instructors also allows for a change up in the class, because the exercises they do are not identical. A special shout out to Sara, who taught my first class, and was willing to help me get signed up for the rest of my sessions, in order to get them all in before an upcoming surgery. I'd definitely like to keep taking classes once I am healed, it's a great switch from a monotonous gym routine. read more
