This book completely changed the way I look at training. Before reading it, I realized I had been…read moreapproaching my workouts all wrong--focusing on the wrong lifts and not really understanding how they translated to performance on the field. This book broke everything down clearly and showed me how to train the right way for baseball, not just to "get stronger" in the gym. Another huge takeaway was nutrition. I thought I had a decent idea of how to eat, but I wasn't fueling myself properly for peak performance. The strategies in this book made it simple to understand what to eat, when to eat, and how to recover the right way. The section on mental training was also eye-opening. I had been neglecting the mental side of the game, and this book gave me the tools to approach practice, competition, and even setbacks with the right mindset. There's a ton of practical information in here--specific training programs and step-by-step guidance--that makes it easy to put into action and see results quickly. My only regret is not finding this book sooner. Thank you so much for putting together such a valuable resource for baseball players.

Scott has been training people for quite a long time and his experience shows. He is a traditional trainer who uses tried and true methods; no "flavor of the month" here. He emphasizes proper form and lifting safely. He keeps the workouts fresh by switching things up every time. For example, maybe you know a couple of ways to work biceps? Scott can show you many more than that. Most importantly Scott is easy going and doesn't bring his own ego or attitude to his training sessions. Highly recommended! Note that he is now located at Martin Luther KIng Blvd and Union, still in Madrona.

It's not cheap, but it's life-changing…read more I'll be honest, Pilates lessons are my biggest expense after rent and my student loans. But the amount my body has changed since I began lessons here a year and a half ago has convinced me that classical Pilates is entirely worthwhile. My athletic background is mostly running and gym workouts, but I'm on my feet all day, and so I was interested in improving my posture to avoid back problems down the road. My back was extremely arched, and I was starting to have problems after I walked for long distances. I work mostly with Adrianna, but I've worked with pretty much everyone in the studio. The newer instructors are sometimes a gamble, but it really depends on what you're looking for in a workout. Don't write the studio off just because you don't get good vibes from your first instructor. I prefer Adrianna because she's committed to Joseph Pilates' vision in its purest form, without all the frills and fancy stuff. I also enjoy working with Regina, Clare, Sara(h?), and Chris. I need to point out that I was anxious to start Pilates because I was worried the studio would be populated with stick-thin, beautiful, pretentious, rich former dancers and trophy wives. There are a few, but most people are down-to-earth and average. Because you work with mostly the same people each week, getting to know the folks I work out with has been one of my favorite parts of Pilates. After you start with a few private sessions, you can move on to semi-privates and mat classes. I stayed with privates for quite a while, and I'm glad I did because I feel like I have a much better grasp on the reasons behind why the exercises are performed the way they are. I also feel much more independent in my semi-privates and mat classes, which gives me more bang for my buck and makes up for the initial money-sink. The front desk staff is generally friendly, and their bookkeeping/scheduling is always spot on. On a practical note, their facilities are clean and the showers are helpful for when I'm done with my morning or pre-dinner classes! I've also done Pilates at various studios in Michigan and Hawaii, and I would strongly recommend that even if you don't come to Metropolitan Pilates, you look into a classical Pilates studio. Enjoy, and don't be afraid to get started!

I like working out. I like sweating, I like my heart beating fast, and I like being able to eat…read morejust a little bit extra. I am always up for trying a new way to exercise. I know Pilates is popular but I was never one that wanted to do DVDs. If I was going to try this I want to use those reformer machines that sort of look like torture devices. My chance came when my mom and I were at a silent auction. Nothing offered sparked either of our interest then I saw a three private lessons package and begged my mom to bid on it. To my delight she won. Soon I was on my way to strengthening and lengthening my body. I had to leave a message to make an appointment but was immediately called back. I didn't have an instructor preference since I had never been there before and with the time and date that worked for me Kelsi ended up being the instructor I was paired with. Metropolitan Pilates is located in University Village next to the Gene Juarez salon. It is open and airy, clean, and bright. The front desk woman was very nice and pointed me in the direction of the locker room. Towels and a hair dryer are provided in the locker room and locks are there for your convenience. After I dropped off my things I made my way to the waiting area. Kelsi, with a genuine smile and a hand extended, met me. We immediately got on the machines. Kelsi was patient with me as I typically run, lift weights, and do boot camp classes which is the complete opposite of this regime and I found it hard, at first, to utilize different parts of my body to do moves I had one before. Lots of extensions and leg lifts and bending and rolling and slowly engaging muscles. All fun and harder than they looked but the challenge was worth it. Every time I left my session with Kelsi I stood a little taller and my muscles were stretched and longer. Although I wasn't sweating buckets or panting uncontrollably I felt that I got a great work out just a different type which I later realized, my body desperately needed. I recommend Metropolitan Pilates to anyone. The studio is lovely the staff is friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I had a great experience and I hope to come back soon!
