"My first experience at The Studio was for the “Get Golf Ready” class. The instructors were knowledgeable, fun and helpful. The class reminded me that although I can exercise on my own, having guidance and new ideas is important. I do love to workout in a place that is warm and inviting and The Studio is perfect!! Thank you for a great class. See you soon!"

"I have been coming to the studio for just over a year now and I cannot say enough good things about Nicole and Steve! I couldn’t be happier with the level of support, encouragement, and expertise I receive with my Pilates reformer sessions. They are both so skilled at what they do and will make sure you are working at a pace that is comfortable and safe for you. I’m thrilled with the progress I have made." 😊

Katie - Client

"I just had an absolutely phenomenal pilates reformer session here. You can feel comfortable coming here no matter your experience with pilates. Steve was patient, and made it so fun to workout! Imagine that, a fun workout!! We will be back!! Can't wait to try the mat!"

Karen - Client

"What a great experience! We are really enjoying, benefitting, and already (after just two times) feeling a positive difference from Pilates lessons. She is an excellent trainer; very friendly and extremely professional. We highly recommend and we look to forward to our sessions each week!"

Donna - Client

"I've been coming to this studio for about 1.5 years and I absolutely love it! I've never found a studio like this located in the surrounding area before they opened. This studio offers an array of classes - yoga, Pilates mat/reformer and dance - in group or private settings. I really appreciate that they offer early morning and evening classes because I wouldn't be able to join otherwise. Owners Nicole and Steve are approachable and extremely accommodating to each persons specific needs and abilities. I highly recommend!"

Angie - Client

"I attended my first Mat Pilates class with Lulu and she made me work! The staff are welcoming and friendly and it's a relaxed environment. I'm looking forward to going back for more classes."

Linda - Client

"I recently had my hip replaced, and the Pilates prep-work I did with Steve made a HUGE difference in terms of preparation and being able to move correctly, isolate muscles, and develop my triceps.  It made all the difference in my recovery."
