Pilates in Tucson

“I just had my first visit with Michaela and I am in far less pain than I was walking in the door. She's intelligent and compassionate and intuitive and really knows what she's doing. My doctor recommended her and I'm so grateful.“

“Wonderful! What an amazing introductory class. Everyone was so friendly, and the studio was super clean. The equipment is new and well maintained. I would definitely highly recommend Club Pilates to anyone interested in a great workout. THANK YOU! :)“

“I’ve been taking classes here for about two years and have had a great experience. The instructors are professional, well trained, and the Fletcher Pilates style is exactly what works for my body—I always feel safe while still getting a really effective workout.

As a working professional with a full daytime schedule, I’d love to see a few more higher-level class options outside of daytime hours, as I’d definitely come more often. Overall, I’m very happy with this studio and the quality of instruction, and I look forward to continuing my practice here for a long time to come.“

“Alongside stands out to me because of the expert instructors and relaxing atmosphere. The reformer classes leave me feeling strong and aligned.“

“I am hypermobile with EDS. I have found that pilates and movement are essential for my overall health and care. However with EDS, it is difficult to find someone who is knowledgable and experienced in working with hypermobility. It takes a capacity to deeply understand how fascia truly works, how the body moves through space with ease for that particular body (not just based on an external understanding of balanced alignment), and openness on how to properly stabilize and support a body while in dynamic movement. Arlene can do all these things and more! Her capacity to truly comprehend what is happening in the body, offer the right structural support in the right ways in order to stabilize and strengthen the parts that are underused, and her hands-on deep tissue work is a gift and a blessing. Working with Arlene is like working with an artist deep in her creative process. I highly recommend her.“

“This studio is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Classes are small, instruction is personalized, instructors know their stuff, and it's a true community environment. I love their mat classes and private reformer lessons. I've been a client for 3 years now, and I can honestly say this place has changed my life for the better.“

“The studio has a warm and friendly vibe. As a snowbird I was welcomed into this community for as long as I would stay. The instructors are all highly experienced and trained by the best. I especially admire my Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis trainer, Teri, for her patience and affirming style as she insists on proper form and movement. The owner of the studio, Mirela, is fun loving and flexible! She continues to upgrade the already great space to accommodate her clients.“

“Laura Matthews here! I absolutely love this studio. All of the staff is friendly, welcoming, and warm hearted. The two instructors that I work with most are Patti and Terri. I cannot imagine any instructors more experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled as these two women. The consummate professionals in spandex! Laura 11/22/2024“

“So far, my experiences with this center have been great. I appreciate the center’s location as well as their friendly staff. The instructors are passionate about what they do and are informative as well!“

“I’m a 67‑year‑old woman who used to hike 4–5 times a week, including multiple rim‑to‑rim hikes in the Grand Canyon and several backpacking trips. Two years ago, I developed low back pain with numbness down my right leg. I was eventually diagnosed with lumbar spine issues and spinal stenosis. I tried physical therapy, fascia therapy, and injections, but nothing helped.

A minimally invasive spine surgeon in Phoenix recommended that I strengthen my core with Pilates before considering surgery. After a few discouraging experiences with other instructors, I was close to giving up—until I found Lorraine.

After just five sessions with her, I can now walk a mile around our block twice a day with far less pain than before. Lorraine is organized, efficient, and incredibly attentive. She notices every detail of my movement and gently corrects improper patterns—something I never experienced with other instructors. She even taught me how to walk with proper alignment, which has made a huge difference.

For the first time in years, I’m confident that I’ll be able to return to the long hikes I love. I feel excited about life again. Without Lorraine, I’m certain I’d still be stuck on the couch instead of reclaiming my strength and independence.“
