Sorry forgot photos but my experience was excellent. Had two classes so experiences two instructors... Lori and Lauren. Both were kind, dynamic, managed multiple skill levels at the same time. I really like the studio on Ashby... Seemed clean, light filled. They had loaner grip socks, which was nice and also an espresso machine for a free latte. There is some local parking for two hours.about $42 per class.
I can't say enough great things about this studio. I've been coming in for classes for some time and while I have my favorite instructors, I can wholeheartedly say that they are all fantastic. The studio is beautiful with great little amenities like hair ties in case you forget yours, feminine products, makeup wipes, dry shampoo and even mini tooth brushes. The front desk staff is lovely and Sofia, the studio manager is always so attentive and great. I'm so excited this studio opened up so close to me. Check it out if you haven't done so already!
I have had physical challenges for about 15 years post-accident, and have been in the process of a very long and slow recovery to get back my strength and capabilities. I decided to try Pilates, since I heard so much about the positive benefits and focus on core-building. I had a series of 8 private classes with Stephanie L. at Mighty Pilates in Berkeley (Elmwood location). My experience was really positive, and I highly recommend the practice of pilates in general for recovery and strengthening. More specifically, I highly recommend Stephanie L. if you're looking for a trainer! She is an awesome coach and is so aware and attentive of her client's physical needs, limitations, possibilities, etc. She knows when and how much to push, and also when to pull back with the intensity of the work out. She made me feel like anything was possible! My body got so much stronger, and I would look forward to my weekly pilates sessions that left me feeling literally euphoric (no kidding). The Berkeley location is also really great--plenty of parking in a lovely, tree lined neighborhood, cute shops, clean facilities, really nice people. A valuable investment in one's health. I give Stephanie L. and Mighty Pilates Berkeley 5 stars!
