I came to this practice a little later in life, after being introduced to Pilates by a seasoned practitioner of a slightly different style in San Francisco. When I showed her June Hines' website, she was immediately impressed and told me how lucky I was to have access to a studio of this caliber near me in the Philadelphia area. She was absolutely right. Five months in, I feel stronger, leaner, and more mentally centered. As someone with hypermobile joints and a lot of experience trying different studios over the years, I can say this is the first place where I've felt genuinely supported in my practice. There are no gimmicks--just thoughtful, skilled instruction, and a clear commitment to the integrity of the method. The studio has a welcoming, inclusive energy. It's body-positive without needing to announce it--everyone here just gets it. The community is grounded, kind, and focused on well-being through controlled movement. June Hines Pilates offers fully equipped studios, a variety of class types (from private sessions to small group mat classes), and instructors who are not only rigorously trained but also continuously learning. To put it plainly: there are plenty of studios out there where instructors hold questionable online certifications. This is the opposite. At June Hines, there's real expertise, and it makes a difference in the outcomes of your practice. Highly recommended. Signed, --extremely discerning lover of Pilates.

This is the real thing. Excellent Pilates instruction with top of the line equipment.read more

I have been working with Ashley for a month ... she is SUPER attentive and is very flexible with…read moreprogramming AND offers help with nutrition. Coach Ashley was the jumpstart I needed to get my life on track and back into a healthy lifestyle. Did I mention that she does ALL of this COMPLETELY REMOTE?!? You simply time-lapse your videos and she corrects form (when needed).... not to mention she's on speed-dial for questions that I always have ... and when she doesn't hear from me, SHE reaches out and checks in! Without you, Ashley, I would have stayed sedentary for the rest of my life. Because of Ashley, I feel stronger AND more confident, and can already SEE the difference in my workouts!!!! Thank you, Ashley!!

I am into my 3rd week with Coach Ash and I am HOOKED. I notice my motivation builds the further I…read moreget in any workout regimen, so getting encouragement from Ashley really puts Mutch Fitness over the edge! My prior exercise habits were pretty dismal- running schedule through an app, new "favorite" fitness channel on youtube, etc. and I stuck with none of them. It's only been two and half weeks with Mutch Fitness and I am all.in! The level of personalization, customization, and flexibility with this program makes all the difference. You can't reschedule last minute with a personal trainer but you can with Coach Ash! HOWEVER- it better fall within the week because missing a workout is out of the question (I love this level of accountability) :) Now the workouts themselves- they are challenging but not impossible, with a gradual build up (I'm in week 3, and after 7 workouts I'm feeling stronger but the workouts are still kicking my butt). Some have been REALLY challenging, but that is a nod to 1) not having been in any exercise habit before 2) how EFFECTIVE the routines are. Lastly, this is affordable, especially compared to personal training. This is beyond worth the investment and I'm excited to see more progress! Thanks, Coach Ash! Can't recommend Mutch Fitness enough!

I've been working out with Phyllis for almost a year and it's been awesome. I've lost about 20 lbs…read moreand am in the best shape of my life. She is incredibly inspiring and motivational. She just goes and goes, but what's best about Phyllis is that she is a real person--she's a mom, she cooks for her family every day, she has injuries just like the rest of us. She keeps it realistic but kicks your butt at the same time. Two things about her classes and sessions that keep me coming back are that she really focuses on form and that she is open to making accommodations for injuries with no judgment. Oh, and I can barely walk the next day!! If I'm going to get my butt kicked, I want it to be KICKED! And she does that, always with tons of energy and a smile. Honestly, can't say enough good things. She has helped me focus on staying fit and HEALTHY--a real lifestyle change. Before I started working out with her I was barely exercising and eating like crap. Now I'm exercising on my own almost every single day just because I want to. Phyllis rocks!!

I have been taking classes with Phyllis since January 2012. She has inspired and motivated me to…read morebe in the best shape I've been in since my early 20s. Her classes are HARD but they are WORTH IT in the end. If you have the desire and dedication you can make a change for the better and Phyllis will be your partner along the way. If you are looking to get in shape, please give Phyllis' class a chance. I never thought I would be able to physically do the things I am able to do now. It took me many months to get here but I honestly amaze myself when I do a set of pushups, or jump rope for 2 minutes without getting winded. My appearance, self confidence and overall health have improved with Phyllis' help. I have never felt this physically strong. Give Phyllis a try and I guarantee you won't regret it!!!!

The last 2 years, have been a real fitness journey. They leave no stones unturned when asked to help you with something general, or something specific about your training, your goals, your commitment.

It's a community that I cherish! Now... back to lifting!

My husband and I have been taking a private Pilates with Christina for the past 6 months. When we…read morestarted we were total beginners and Christina was very patient with us and very upbeat about our progress, even as newbies. Pilates was great for our bodies individually, and it was also a great activity for us to do as a couple. My husband is strong in a lot of ways, but it was really great to see how Pilates got to new places in his body and strengthened them. I definitely strengthened my core muscles in a way that I didn't know was possible, and it is now easier for me to sit up straight and have posture better. I was especially needing this inner core tightening after having two children, and think that all women who have had babies can really use Pilates after having things all stretched out in the mid section and the pelvic floor :) People have asked both my husband and I if we grew taller since we started our Pilates classes, and we no doubt feel taller because of our regular private Pilates classes. Being strong in our bodies through our Pilates classes has improved our lives all around. I think when you are strong in your body, you are stronger in your life as well. Thanks so much Christina for being an awesome teacher. I highly recommend Pilates for everyone.

When I am paying for a private session and can't get to the equipment & witnessing people with bad form because they won't limit class sizes to something one instructor can realistically oversee, its time to move on. If you like working out while dodging a herd of burpeeing CH moms and ownership unconcerned that longtime patrons are being rudely displaced, you've found your workout home. (Plus they've added a bunch of businesses within their space though original variance was for one business- altogether this means there is no parking for blocks for local residents and patrons).

I started out doing a plank on the wall and am now able to do a "normal" plank and hold it. The one on one training is great. Every workout is catered to my needs and abilities. Melissa is good at listening to me when I tell her that I can't do something because my knees won't cooperate. She knows my limits and knows when she can push me a little harder. I've seen great improvements in myself and very happy I found this gym. They have it set up so that you are in the gym alone with your trainer or with a very small amount of other people. it's never too crowded and they are great about cleaning all the equipment after someone has been using it.
