Pilates Collective

I love Pilates anyway… this studio has helped me to get back into Pilates again. Springboard classes are awesome and all the teachers are patient. I am gaining core strength again and feeling fabulous. I look forward to the classes and hope to engage in more class styles soon. I can’t say enough… Pilates is very amazing and I just feel so much more balanced and strong. My pains are going away and I am more aware of my posture again.

It’s pretty amazing how much Pilates can help with the various aches and pains one acquires from bad body-​positioning habits, and Pilates Collective is a wonderfully supportive and relaxing place to practice and learn it safely. My husband and I both have lots of shoulder and/​or neck pain, and a litany of other minor physical gripes that occasionally turn into acute problems. His pains are rooted in lots of physical work and old injuries resulting in his neck and shoulders being the first thing to tense up and activate when he does basically anything with his other muscles. Mine stem from opposite causes — I sit at a computer all day or stoop over the kids, am flexible and have experience with yoga, but lack strength since I don’t exercise much. We did a private («duo») introductory session with Kristin, the owner, to get established there so she could tune in to our physical situations and recommend what classes would be good for us. The intro was simple exercises to introduce us to the muscles in our core we’d need to locate and start using for the classes to come, getting us familiar with the correct positioning, etc. My husband is an athletic person, but could barely locate the muscles she was talking about because he was so used to having his neck and shoulders jump in on everything. Luckily he saw it as a challenge and also quickly saw that developing those muscles would be the only way out of his chronic neck pain, and he’s been doing weekly trio sessions there ever since. Once you can support your torso with these core muscles, it lets your other muscles relax, is my understanding. We can already both feel a difference, even just being aware of what is happening with our bodies has been so helpful. Kristin is a super attentive teacher, kind, supportive, and friendly, really a joy to be around. The studio space is soothing and the nice warm color of the walls really reflects the friendly atmosphere.

Great local Pilates studio, good for beginners or seasoned exercise buffs for good core work. I enjoyed the Zumba class as well. Nice staff, reasonable rates

I had the privilege of training on the trapeze table with Chantill Lopez and a small group of Pilates teachers this past November at Pilates Collective.
It was one of the top training experiences I’ve had so far.
Made to feel comfortable immediately, I really enjoyed the kindness and sincerity that was authentically extended.
The learning environment was both challenging and inspiring. Some highlights included visualization exercises and mediation «time outs «. During an intense training weekend, these moments created balance, ease and clarity. I highly recommend this studio for other teachers who looking for Balanced Body University training. It is worth the trip.
My Pilates Collective experience made this city slicker want to pack her bags and move up North!

I’ve been going to Pilates Collective for about 6 months and have had nothing but great instruction from their obviously skilled staff. I didn’t think Pilates would be the right fit for me, but I noticed right away that it made not only a difference in my posture and the way I felt when I left, but it stayed with me throughout the week.
My golf game has improved, and the teachers have done an amazing job with a reoccurring knee injury I’ve had undiagnosed for the past year or so. I am stronger, more flexible, and I pay attention to my posture much more, which helps keep me out of my bad habits and out of discomfort.
I’ve taken classes with many of the teachers and done some private sessions — I really can’t say enough for the studio and the staff. They have a great selection of classes, including equipment classes and mat classes, and you can build up to what they call self-​directed workouts. With self-​directed you can come into the studio on your own and practice — kind of like a gym membership.
I was actually surprised at how detailed and intelligent Pilates is as an exercise system. The teachers blend an incredible knowledge of anatomy and functionality with so much clarity. They seem inspired and motivated by what they do and it genuinely makes me want to keep doing Pilates.
I’ve already referred friends and family to Pilates Collective. It’s definitely the place I want to spend my time and money when it comes to taking better care of myself.
