I mostly attend the Mat classes and each class is different. Not only because there is around half a dozen instructor who teach Pilates on mat on a regular basis, but even the same teacher will regularly mix it up a little; hand weights, fitness balls, the Oov (I hope I'm spelling the name of that thing right, ;-), resistance bands, small squishy balls, the "magic circle"  etc.  Not a one class is the same, which I love! And every single of their teachers are not only certified in Pilates and very knowledgeable in anatomy & general fitness, they're also friendly and funny.  I never had a bad class at this Pilates studio in my 8+ years of patronizing it, and I always feel batter afterwards!  

I tried the Pilates Studio as an experiment, I’m sticking around because of the good vibes.  The instructors are all very knowledgeable, as well as being cheerful, positive, encouraging and nurturing in their roles.  If you have pain issues, asymmetries, and other bodily weirdness, they’re all great at accommodating your limitations and helping you find movements you can do instead of forcing yourself into poses that hurt.  The cost is higher than a standard gym membership, but I’m getting such good instruction and encouragement that it’s worth it.

All of them are in my box of chocolates! Each person gives their all at every session and encounter, from a warm welcome, to cheering us on, modifying exercises while still empowering, and a hearty goodbye! They all hold a special place in my heart.
