What Clients Say

Pilates relieved all those pains

Deborah: Kinesis Pilates is by far the best pilates studio, and the teachers are extraordinary! I came in last year with ski injuries, years post surgery pain, plantar fasciitis, rib muscle strain and general aging stuff. In the past year, pilates has changed my body and awareness of my body and miraculously relieved all those pains. I am grateful for all of you.

Stronger than Ever

Becky: Stephanie is an amazing teacher. She gives incredibly helpful cues. With her guidance, I feel I am getting closer to properly using my core and my shoulders have more movement than ever before. Her humor and positive attitude motivate everyone in the class. I feel stronger than ever. Thank you for running an amazing studio!

My heart is filled with gratitude

Brenda: Pilates has made me a stronger person in mind, spirit, and body. I feel muscles I thought were just not there anymore. I believe in my body again; I am connected to it; Pilates has done that for me.  I have made considerable improvements in my balance when I walk, in my arm range, in my nerves returning & less numbness, I feel my hips working to support me, and in my back shoulder blades, I think of them & activate them to help me with movement.  I started hiking on the weekends because of the strength & confidence I gained in Pilates. Each time I walk into a class & leave, my heart is filled with gratitude and amazement that I did yet another type of body movement I never thought possible.

Exceeded my expectations

Paige: Working from home during the worst of the pandemic, and recovering from major surgery, I had reached the lowest freedom of movement level in my body ever. I had worked for a while in the Stanley Marketplace, and had seen Kinesis but thought that I wasn't confident enough to try Pilates there. After reading the testimonials on the website and learning a bit more about the studio, I decided to proceed with weekly private lessons. That is a decision I am really glad I made. Jennifer C has been my instructor for over a year, and she has never once pressured me, made me feel like I couldn't do something, or let me off easy when I needed a challenge.

I had been worried about a "one-size-fits-all" approach but these classes couldn't have been more personalized. I had also been worried about using the equipment but learned over time that it is brilliantly designed to make things easier on the body, especially helping the nervous system. My body is not only recovering and remembering strengths and flexibilities from my youth, but finding new ways to stretch and strengthen that feel great. The instructors have all received excellent training, and they collaborate with one another. There is a real culture of lifelong learning and knowledge sharing at this studio that I love.

I've been a Vedic devotional nun for over 20 years, and I am most grateful for the way my instructor has treated me as more than my body, but with so much helpful knowledge and kind assistance to find ease in my body for my spiritual practices. My experience with Kinesis Pilates has far exceeded my expectations and hopes.

Integral part of my wellness routine

Nancy: I started at Kinesis Pilates 1.5 years ago after a recommendation from a friend and have been coming weekly since then. The instructors and their personalized attention are outstanding. It has helped me overcome chronic ailments and made me stronger. It has been one of the few types of exercise I have wanted to stick with. I am so thankful I have found Kinesis Pilates. It is an integral part of my wellness regimen and I would feel a void now without it. I continue to refer friends in hopes it will improve their lives also.

I do Pilates so I can do other things pain and injury free

Dan: Before starting Pilates, I was an avid runner. And while I was never truly injured, in my 30’s I started to notice that I was having low back pain while running. This limited the distance and the speed that I could run. My wife was avidly practicing Pilates 2-3 days per week and convinced me that I should give it a try. After my first lesson, I was hooked. I was sore in places that I didn’t even know had muscles and before long I had built enough core strength that the pain with running started to ease. Eventually the pain disappeared and now I practice Pilates so that I can run, bike, hike, cross-country ski, down-hill ski, and mountain bike—all pain and injury free! I now know with every ache or pain that I develop, and for me it’s usually heel pain, the Joseph Pilates method will heal me through building strength, flexibility, and core control.

Wonderful instruction

Celeste: I love all the teachers.  Thanks to their wonderful instruction, I've made progress in the year I've been going to the studio.  I learn something new and am challenged anew every time I take a class.

No more pain

Rachele: For the past couple of years, I’ve experienced tingly, nervy sensations down my left leg into the foot. I thought it was sciatica and did PT for many months with minimal success. Later x-rays revealed lower back issues (spinal stenosis, a shifted L3 vertebra, and slight scoliosis). My doctor suggested core strengthening exercises, so I booked a New Client Starter package at Kinesis Pilates. The combination of classes with various teachers and individual private lessons with Sophia have resulted in significant changes for me. Sophia has given me new knowledge and awareness of my body that make my exercise more intentional and effective. Five months later, I can now sleep thru the night with no leg pain. I highly recommend Kinesis Pilates and the excellent teachers who can help you build strength and work your entire body. 

Pushing my strength and flexibility to new levels

Victor: When I started Pilates, I was just two months into healing some nerve damage throughout my right leg and foot. At the time, the numbness down the back of my leg and foot had dissipated, but I still had pain, stiffness, and weakness. Through my private sessions with Sophia and then Amy, I learned how to support my lower back - the source of my nerve damage - by creating new behaviors in how I use my body. More importantly, they showed me that as long as my movements were thoughtful, I did not need to fear using my lower back. I've since gone on to enjoy Jennifer's beginner mat/tower and intermediate mixed equipment classes, building on what I learned in my private sessions and pushing my strength and flexibility to new levels. I'm grateful to Kinesis Pilates for the movements I've learned, which I'll always use both in and out of the studio.

The right decision

Leslie:  I started Pilates six months ago due to lower back/sciatica problems. I’d been practicing yoga regularly for more than ten years and working with a personal trainer for the past five, but returning to my workout regimen after recovering from a total hip replacement wasn’t going well, so I decided to try Pilates. Choosing Kinesis Pilates was absolutely the right decision!  Combining classes and private sessions, I’ve learned so much about alignment and what to do to achieve it. Pain is gone, as long as I am mindful and bring what I’m learning into my everyday activities. Sophia and the team at Kinesis are extremely skilled and knowledgeable, and every interaction with them reconfirms my sense that they are tuned in to everyone who comes to the studio.

My body is greatly enhanced by Pilates

Stephanie:  I've been doing Pilates on and off for several years...Kinesis is a wonderful place for a starting point, or if you've practiced in the past. My body, my posture and just overall well being continues to be GREATLY enhanced by doing Pilates. If you are even just thinking about trying Pilates or getting more serious about your practice, this is the place to be.

Amazing teachers

Angi:  I love how I feel after taking a class. I have a new awareness of my posture and what muscles I employ for movement, and I'm able to move in a healthier and more efficient way. The studio is gorgeous, and very clean with high quality equipment. If you love classical Pilates, top-of-the-line equipment, and amazing teachers, this is the studio for you!
