Get Started By:

Constant Engagement:
The Pilates Apparatus provide resistance throughout the entire range of motion. This constant engagement ensures that muscles are actively working not only when pushing or pulling against the resistance but also during the return phase. This contributes to a more comprehensive and effective workout. 

Balance and Coordination:

The Reformer's sliding carriage and the Chair's split peddle add instability, demanding full engagement and control. This challenges balance and coordination, especially in moving platform exercises, offering an excellent way to enhance these skills in a dynamic workout.


Mind-Body Bliss:

Beyond physical gains, Apparatus workouts cultivate well-being benefits, including reduced stress and increased cognitive function, for  an all-encompassing feel-good experience.



Decreased Injury Risk:

The springs mimic the resistance of traditional weights but also provide additional support. The spring resistance enhances stability while targeting specific muscle groups, reducing the risk of injury during the workout.


Apparatus Classes: A Workout Like None Other.

The resistance from the apparatus springs works to strengthen your entire body, targeting not just the larger muscle groups but also activating the smaller stabilizing muscles. It's a smart way to address any imbalances and focus on strengthening specific areas individually.

Smiles & Success: Client Reviews That Say It All:

I am new to pilates and have recently begun taking small group reformer classes after my 3 helpful introductory classes with Nate. I can't believe I waited so long! I love the studio, and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Cathy and Kristy have both helped me feel comfortable as a new student and I honestly feel better in my body already! Happy new customer!

Robin D.

I have done many different types of exercise over the years, but always felt as though something was missing from my practice.  Finding pilates and The Pilates Studio in Hadley changed that in many ways. I have become obsessed with pilates and am proof that it can get you stronger, leaner, and more balanced.
All of the instructors here are knowledgeable and make you feel welcome and comfortable.  This is a wonderful place to start if you've never tried pilates before, or the best studio to try if you've done pilates in the past.  You'll be happy you did!

Susan H.

I am an older client who comes to the Pilates Studio in Hadley to work with an individual trainer twice a week.  Generally I do not really feel like going to exercise what with past injuries and arthritis.  However, after the first step inside this uniquely friendly Pilates studio I find the warmth and and good cheer of all the trainers, along with the upbeat laughter throughout the studio, begins to make me feel better immediately. By the end of each session I am always so glad I made myself come because I my body feels more capable and I feel thoroughly cheered up.  The program my trainer guides me through is tailored to my individual needs and the philosophy of the whole studio is to meet the clients where they are and build from there, no matter what their capabilities.  And that includes challenging the already super fit as well as the disabled. I have made more gains in my personal fitness and general feeling of well-being following the Pilates program than any other fitness program I have enrolled in.  I enthusiastically encourage anyone to come and learn on their own how the Pilates Studio of Hadley program can enhance their life.
