Pilates Back Bay

I bought the Gilt City coupon for PBB and I love it. I’ve been taking semi-​private lessons with kachina and she is really amazing. I’ve never been on reformers before and was a little intimidated on my first day. However, there are only 4 reformers so I had no reason to feel intimidated. Kachina really makes you feel at ease and walks you through all the equipment and the transitions.

If you’re looking for a top notch pilates studio this is the place for you. There are no frills, no fluff just an elegant, spotless, friendly studio with supportive, highly skilled instructors dedicated to helping you strengthen, lengthen and tone. Classes are small and focused, the teachers have a strong foundation in classical pilates and also integrate more contemporary techniques. They will push you past your limits, but unlike some of the other so-​called «pilates» studios in the neighborhood, they know what they’re doing and don’t push so hard that you can injure yourself. I have been coming here two to three times a week for several months and have made huge gains in strength and tone. They offer both private and group lessons, equipment and matt.

I’ve been taking private lessons from this studio’s owner, Kachina Fredricks, for many years, and I can’t say enough positive things about her and about this studio. The studio’s location is in the heart of Back Bay and it’s bright with brand new equipment. Kachina is a terrific instructor — she pays a lot of attention to details and form which is key to the best pilates workout. I’d recommend Kachina and her studio to anyone! It’s the perfect place for a great pilates workout whether you’re an expert or totally new to the practice.
