The Concrete Lotus

I started doing Pilates at the Concrete Lotus back in November and immediately knew I’d found an exercise routine I could live with. Natasha, the 6 am instructor is supportive, knowledgable and friendly, and because of the small class size and terrific feedback, I am getting stronger. I also appreciate the central location and the variety of classes offered. I tried the spin/​Pilates combination class and yoga in addition to my favorite 6am Pilates, and all classes were well-​taught and beneficial. The reformers and area are kept clean and the atmosphere is comfortable. Cost is very reasonable, too.

Great pilates reformer classes — small, great instructors, fun and kind. I’ve had 3 different instructors and enjoyed them all. Also did private yoga with Annie which was great — and very fair pricing. Highly recommend.

Wow! That is how I feel about this amazing fitness studio! They have some top of the line instructors that like to ensure your safety and what your body is capable of! some of my personal favorite classes are Gentle yoga to restore your body after some challenging Pilates reformer classes! Give this great place a try and you won’t regret it! I have arthritis and there classes have been improving my joint/​muscle health and I have been losing some pounds which is an extra plus to feeling lean & healthy which is more important of course! :)

Absolutely loved my yoga experience here. I went to a Thursday night class and it was delightful! The instructor was very inviting and kept the class light but very physically challenging. It was a perfect balance of mind and body. I will definitely go again.

This studio is where I had my first Pilates Reformer experience. I was a little self conscious about it, but everyone made me feel comfortable. The workouts are good and all of the different instructors are awesome! This was a great way for me to get in shape and meet some new friends. I’ve been going here for over a year and I’m so much stronger and if I went more I’d probably weigh a lot less… but that’s on me. I took a yoga class too which I really enjoyed and it was also my first experience. I need to go back for sure. I love that this is a small studio so you get good individual attention and get to know people quickly. I also took a spin + pilates which was a good workout, but afternoons are hard for me to make so I don’t get to do it very often. Overall, love this place! :)

After my post-​pregnancy belly wouldn’t budge I decided to check this place out. A year later, I’m hooked and can’t believe the results. I’m in better shape (and weigh a lot less) now then before I got pregnant. I like how small this studio is. With only 4 reformers I feel like I’m getting the benefits of a personal trainer every time I go with out having to pay the high price that comes with it.

This is a great fitness center, offering spin and pilates in the same class!
This was my first introduction to both spin and pilates, and I must admit, I did not feel embarrassed about my fitness level, or my being a complete novice to both. Abigail really made me work, and corrected any wacky technique I had.
I would highly recommend the Spin + Pilates to anyone. ALSO location location location!
Great job ladies, I will be back!

this SHOULD be your typical pilates studio. But it’s not. It’s a rare find, a diamond in the rough of fitness centers. There is ZERO pretentiousness, ZERO self consciousness, ZERO judgement and 100% butt-​arm-​abs-​legs workouts. Men, women, teens, they all come here, all different ages and sizes. The ladies at the lotus take your individual needs into consideration during each class, and have a healthy balance of catering to any physical ailments you may have and pushing you to feel the burn! They have challenges where classes are discounted, the teachers privately take your measurements before and after so you can track your own progress. There’s pilates reformer classes, spin classes, yoga, and mat pilates which is FREE on sundays. private sessions and community classes, and even a 7am spin class! The studio has a great feel to it, the choice of music that the ladies at the lotus use really gets you moving without turning you off. And all the ladies are very knowledgeable in anatomy, flexability, nutrition, and current events, so you get a great workout and hear a review of the latest box office smash, tv show, or news gossip!
I lost 20+ pounds, 2 dress sizes, 8.75 inches overall and my % of body fat dropped from 37.0 to 36.4 in the last 10 months I’ve been going there. Check out
, or just drop in, Annie and Erin are super friendly and they also sell cute little handmade purses and kids clothes too!

I’ve been training with Annie and Erin for about 3 years and they are awesome! If you think pilates is easy and isn’t much of a workout then you need to come here because these girls will kick your butts. They were pivotal in my losing 15 pounds before my wedding. They offer reformer, circuit and spinning classes which is a nice variety. Apart from the workout, the teachers and the students are lots of fun. I always leave with a smile and a little sweaty!
