Best Certified Pilates Courses Washington Near Me

Joanne Conroy: i first met Ryan in 2008 when I joined a local Pilates studio after relocating from NJ. I have been training in Pilates since 1998 and Ryan is one of the top instructors i have worked with. He is really knowledgeable about the kinetics of our musculature and the impact on posture and function. His workouts are always a challenging mixture of strengthening, stretching and balance. I left DC in 2014 but try to train with him whenever I am in DC!

William Trapmann: Since I began practicing Pilates at Excel Pilates DC, I’ve improved my core strength and flexibility overall. Feeling stronger and more capable provides a degree of personal confidence that I find quite gratifying. The instructors at the Excel studio are knowledgeable, as well as helpful and encouraging. Their interest in my performance inspires me to try harder. It also helps that they all seem to have the patience of Job. I’m a senior citizen and I’ve had my share of sports- and exercise-related injuries over the years. I appreciate the expert guidance and oversight provided by the instructors at the Excel studio. Their expertise imbues in me a confidence to attempt challenging exercises that I probably shouldn’t even consider, much less attempt, on my own. Thanks to the instructors, I have surprised myself more than once with what I am able to do. After a workout at Excel I feel invigorated. My energy levels are higher and I feel satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. Good health and fitness are not things that simply occur—I must work for them. I believe that if you want to be active, you must stay active. I recommend Pilates at Excel Pilates as a good way to be active for almost anyone.

Caroline Cunningham: Just returned to Fuse Pilates after a three year break and several injuries. Working out with Tori and Liz made me feel strong and resilient. I literally cried after class today knowing that my entire back was moving again and in a careful and meaningful way. I forgot how good Fuse teachers are they really help you build your strength while listening to your needs. ONWARD!!!

Meghana Vijaysimha: Saw a Groupon and decided to give it a try. Small classes up to five people, instructors are great. Excellent experience.

Paul Baldwin: I’m new to the neighborhood, but feel right at home at Toolbox. I started coming once or twice a week to take morning reformer classes in March, but in the past four months I have slowly filled most every day of the week with all that Toolbox has to offer. Each instructor has their own style and the studio offers reformer, chair and corealign.

Nichelle Nassif: Francesca is amazing. When I began with Francesca, I had two young kids, and had only a very basic knowledge of Pilates and certainly never reformer, nor worked out for the last 4 years. She listened to my needs and expectations and developed a program that worked for me. She is excellent at targeting exact areas of the body you’d like to tone and creating an exercise program unique to you. I’ve also had knees surgeries and she is great on modifying exercises. I feel back to my pre pregnancy body and am so happy I found her! Highly recommend!

Carolyn Mcgavock: The variety of instructors lets clients find people that work for them. All are supportive, encouraging, and very knowledgeable but as a client there are some I just connect with more. And the other class participants are generally fun and supportive as well. Because of the supportive environment I have been able to stick with RTR classes and my mental and physical health has improved.

Donna Psaltis: The Pilates Center of Rockville has been life changing for me! I am a stronger more confident version of myself. I have mainly worked with Karyn who has challenged me and has really taught me not to place limits on what my body can do. She is really amazing! The owner of the studio is a very dynamic, knowledgeable teacher as well. I would feel comfortable working with any of the instructors that are at this studio. I have so much gratitude that I have been able to experience Pilates at The Pilates Center of Rockville! Thank You!

David Gershman: Today I signed up and had a great experience. Mike, in membership, not only showed me around- they answered every question with full clarity, gave me far more insight than I expected, and was simply very nice and sweet. I knew I was going to get a membership going in, but it’s nice to get warmth and comfort instantly upon arrival. Felt like I was one of the regular folks
