I arrived a few minutes before class started and noticed how spacious, clean, and zen it was inside. I liked how I already felt relaxed before class even started. Our instructor was great! She was very relaxing and guided us through all the different poses. I didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable and the hour flew by rather quickly. My mind cleared up significantly after we were done. I'm so glad I stopped by. I would definitely recommend this studio for those who would like to take an hour out of their day to destress.

I just finished my three private Pilates lessons with Caroline and they were great! She's very knowledgeable and tries every way she can to explain every exercise, always with a great attitude.

I honestly wasn't sure how much I'd ever be able to move again with painkillers. Working with Gina, together with the support of my doctor, I was able to wean off the pills entirely. I'm now pain free and so much more mobile than I ever expected to be. Gina and her team got me back on my feet, and just as importantly, gave me the tools to keep my back healthy moving forward. I can't thank them enough. The community of members at Ascend is wonderful, too. They're warm, welcoming, and supportive, and I look forward to going to class not just for the workout but to connect with them. If you're on the fence, go. Ascend Pilates is the real deal.

I made a few calls to PT offices where no one picked up or they informed me the next appointment would be over a month from now. I needed a visit as soon as I could. I called Ascend PT and Gina immediately picked up, listened to my situation and quickly booked me in to be seen within a few days. Gina is very professional and personable. She made me feel very comfortable right away and gave top quality care. I felt immediate relief after she worked on my neck and gave me exercises to work on. At this point, I have seen so many physical therapists throughout my life and Gina is quite competent. Substantial progress was made each visit and I would leave visits feeling refreshed and pain free. Meanwhile, at other places, I would be in pain for several months before seeing any progress. After seeing Gina for a month and a half, I was 90% recovered and after three months, I feel so refreshed and able to do all my regular exercise routines and activities. I truly wish I had found Gina much earlier and will solely be seeking her guidance when I have future injuries~

Pink Salt Wellness has been a welcoming, inclusive, and empowering studio for me as a newcomer. The "wellness" component is not in name only, but has been a part of every class/practice I have completed so far there. I appreciate the emphasis on breath and intention in addition to poses. Teachers have been good at offering modifications in a way that doesn't single out individual students, and they emphasize that each individual's yoga practice is personal to their body. As a plus sized woman who is using yoga as a part of my journey to better health, I have felt included and encouraged to push myself in a safe and joyful manner. I feel very grounded and encouraged to improve my practice each day that I show up to the mat. I am still in my first month here, but I highly recommend Carmela's classes. She immediately learned my name and checked in with me about my skill and confidence level, and I feel like I come away a little stronger each class period. I also have enjoyed Femme Flow, which has helped a lot with my tight hip flexors and weak core. I haven't tried all of the classes/worked with all of the teachers yet, but am looking forward to deepening my practice in other modalities such as Yin yoga. So excited to be a part of this studio!
