Starting Point Pilates Studio

I started training at Starting Point approx 3 months with core strength and flexibility goals. My body was rigid at best and i knew it would be an uphill battle. I had tried pilates previously for a few sessions at another studio and thought i knew the drill but boy was I wrong. Pilates it turns out is ALL about the instructor and Lily is as good as it gets. Intuitive and patient, Lily has twisted and contorted me into a far more flexible and slightly stronger version of my former self! Thanks Lily!

I have been going to Starting Point for a little over a year now. I had been searching for an instructor and studio that made me feel at home and with Lily and her spotless studio I finally found what I was looking for. I am so happy to have Starting Point in my routine and miss it whenever I am out of town. Lily is an excellent instructor, with an ability to challenge you with your strengths and weaknesses in mind. She also makes it fun. The hour session always passes quickly and leaves you feeling great.

Went to my first class here last night. You know a good pilates class when all the little In-​Between muscles are all abuzz the next day, and you feel really refreshed and able to hold proper posture with ease and pleasure. This is so me today!
Lily is a very good instructor, and the class I took was pretty classical, if you are familiar with pilates styles. I loved it and will be returning for more. Class was invigorating, soothing, and also challenging– the true nature of Pilates. Lily offered the most amazing and gentile adjustments, and she was very in tune with each of the 5 clients. She offered a range of class styles, and private lessons.
The studio is very clean and it smelled great. I also liked the soft music– it helps me keep centered. Parking was great, underground garage that felt safe. It’s in my neighborhood, so I’m looking forward to returning for more classes!

Did a group class of 5 people, it was awesome. I’m new to Pilates, but have practiced numerous styles of yoga for over a decade, so I can recognize a good teacher when I see one. Lily is supportive and attentive, but best of all she is hands on, which I really appreciate. Sometimes you need that extra tactile guidance to get your body into the proper alignment or to realize one more inch to the right will really make a difference in what you get out of your posture.
Studio is super clean, ample parking on the streets. Highly recommend!

Went for my first group class and thoroughly enjoyed it. A nice studio, very clean and a great workout.
Lily, our instructor was highly trained and incredibly supportive and friendly. Even in a class with 5 people she paid attention to every person’s body position on every exercise and helped understand the correct way to hold your body so you don’t hurt yourself but do get the most out of every rep. I have been quite stressed and sitting at an office job, I have tight muscles, it was nice to feel great after the class.
Highly recommended. Conveniently located with free parking.

I have tried many different Pilates studios over the years and have finally found the perfect place for me at Starting Point. I have been working with Lily one on one for some time, and I enjoy it very much.
Lily is very intuitive and imagines a combination of exercises that, within the hour session, work all the different muscle groups in my body. We have been focusing on my upper back by working on muscles that will improve my posture. Lily corrects every movement so that it is done correctly and this allows me to get the best results for an hour of hard, focused work. I have had many instructors but Lily is the only one who is able to help me visualize the muscles, using imagery that makes sense to me.
The studio is clean and bright with natural lighting that comes from a long floor to
ceiling panel of glass that faces north so there is no direct sunlight but enough daylight to workout without turning on the lights during the day which is very nice. I have been coming here for almost a year now and have recently started coming 4 times a week. That’s pretty frequent, but every session feels unique and different.

A great studio and a great instructor! A friend and his wife invited me to join them for a private class and the instructor, Lily, was awesome! She was so patient and clear about her instructions, kept the pace going from movement to movement. And afterwards I felt exhausted but invigorated.
Now just waiting for my schedule to clear up to go back again. Great stuff!

I start my Pilates 4 month ago, sometime I take class twice a week or once week, depends on my schedule.
I always wanted to try Pilates but I didn’t no where to go, when I found this place I was so excited to try her.
I love lover her class it’s very effective, I could see my body changing more fit and feel stronger. She’s great teacher!
I will totally recommend her, if you want to see your body changing come and see her.

I love this place. I started coming because it’s so close to where I live, unfortunately I’m moving soon but it would be worth the drive. Lily is awesome and has made this place small and intimate and pays attention to form more than any instructor I’ve been to. Long story short, you won’t regret coming. This is a business that will do well simply because she’s great and cares about her clients.

I love this place and more so because it is in my neighborhood. My instructor Lily is great! I am new to Pilates — I am glad they recommend three private lessons before doing group classes as I think you will get to benefit from group classes once you know the different type Pilate workouts. Lily is very patient and takes the time to explain different workouts so you work the right muscles. I do other cardio workouts so this compliments my other efforts. If you are in the area and have been wanting to do Pilates; I strongly recommend Starting Point.

I’m starting my third month at Starting Point and I would go to class every day if I could. The space is lovely, the classes vary each time, and Lily is very attentive to form. I took pilates at another studio before, but my breathing technique and form has greatly improved here. Because my job requires so much sitting in front of a computer, I come to class tense and feeling like a hunchback. But after class, I leave thankful for a rigorous workout that makes me feel I am toning muscles at the same time I am doing rehabilitative stretching. I would definitely recommend this studio!

I’ve actually been doing pilates for about 3 months at Starting Point and so far, I love it. Lily, the instructor, is attentive and makes sure you can reach your fullest potential in each exercise. She encourages and also pushes you. You also work up a sweat so I always bring a towel with me. The facility is very clean and air conditioned which is a plus. Over the 3 months, I can feel and see my body change and helped alot with my posture. Overall, its a friendly environment with a great instructor!

I came in for my first ever Pilates class around 3 weeks ago with a friend and completely fell in love! I came in for a one day class and left with a Pilates membership. There’s tons of parking for the location, which makes it very convenient. The space itself is located on the 2^nd floor. It’s very clean and spacious. Clean hardwood floors, new/​clean equipment, strong AC and ventilation (GOOD — cause you’ll definitely work up a sweat).
The instructor, Lily, uses very visual language which really helped me get in the right positions or breathe correctly through the exercises. I come here after work with a group of friends and it’s extremely relaxing. Lily knew exactly where we were in terms of fitness, and she would throw in a few curve-​balls during each class to challenge us all individually. This class stretches out all my aching muscles after work and leaves me refreshed and new for the night!

Upon a referral from a friend, I stopped by the studio to check it out. I live in the neighborhood and I could literally walk there which is the perfect incentive for me to get started. I was greeted by a lady with a nice smile whom I later found to be the owner. Very pleasant person. She invited me to try some exercises on the reformer and she looked at my body and posture and pointed out what she’d like to work on with me and where I would need to build strength. I really appreciated that personal approach — she seems to set a goal for clients without the clients even asking her.
Not only that, the studio is nice and clean, offers different price options and class schedule times. Glad to have a studio in the neighborhood.

I went to their grand opening event and signed up for the 3 intro privates. Went in for my first class this week. Great space– nice, airy, relaxing. The instructor Lily was really attentive. She’s very spot-​on with her corrections and made sure I worked out every muscle I had and muscles that I never knew I even had. I’ve been to other studios where instructors seem to just dial it in, but I liked how she pointed what muscles should be working. This way I was able to tune into my body more. Privates don’t come cheap, but are definitely worth every penny.
They have a half-​sauna there that’s complimentary for their clients. How cool is that. I’ve never seen a half-​sauna before but it’s pretty nifty. You just sit inside and there’s a bookstand so you can read a book or magazine while you just relax for 15 – 20 minutes.
And they’re supposed to get TRX soon. Can’t wait for that!
Definitely a 5 star place

I’ve heard of Pilates and have been wanting to try it out. I drove by this
studio a few times wondering when it would open. I drove by earlier this
week and noticed that it was finally open. I went in and spoke with the
owner who is also the instructor there — Lily. Very friendly, sweet, and
knowledgeable. I signed up for their 3 private intro special and had my
very first Pilates session the other day. I’m used to fast-​paced,
let’s-burn-our-calories– type of workout, but Pilates was much slower paced
and a lot of focus on precision. My abs were burning and I’m still feeling
it today. The session was hard but really stretchy which I enjoyed a lot.
Lily had me stretching on a foam roller afterwards which was the best part!
