I don't know why it took me so long to write a review but here we go. When I first came to Movement, I had been struggling with lower back pain for TWO YEARS. The back pain didn't just reside in my back- it also went down to my left thigh and foot too. I had tried everything from acupuncture, chiropractor, and home stretching but nothing worked and I thought I just had to live like this for the rest of my life. Then one day one of my friends who also struggled with back pain told me that she took one on one classes at Movement and it changed her life and she literally wrote an essay telling me why I need to do it too. I was happy for her but I honestly didn't have high hopes for me but at that point I was down to try anything. I went to my first class and they told me to tell them all the places I had pain and they did an overall assessment of my posture. That began my journey at Movement. I really don't remember at what point this happened but after taking like 20 classes, one day, I noticed that my back pain was gone :O It was literally a miracle. After two years of feeling hopeless over sciatica pain, Pilates cured me. I took one on one classes with lots of different instructors and they were all great but I want to give a special shoutout to my main instructor, Sungeun. She is soooooo passionate about making sure her students are actually benefiting from her classes so she makes sureeeeee that your form is perrrfect. She also stretched me out a lot but do not be fooled by the word, "stretch," and think stretching is no big deal. I would literally scream during class cause those stretches were so painful cause I have zero flexibility but no pain no gain I guess because I'm sooo certain that those stretches are one of the biggest reasons I can say I am pain free today. She is tough on you but in the best way possible! Sungeun 쌤 if you're reading this, you're the best If any of you are struggling with back pain I cannot recommend this place more. I have brought like five friends to this place because I wouldn't stop talking about this it and all my friends loved it too! Yes, the one on one classes are a bit pricey, however, I would rather pay to keep myself healthy now than pay tens of thousands of dollars for back surgery later in the future. If you are on the fence about going here and you're reading my review please do yourself a favor and sign up!!!
I suffered from poor posture my whole life. I have been doing Pilates for about a year and my posture has improved tremendously. My lower back used to ache because of lack of core strength but not anymore! The teachers are all very informative and they cater the exercises to your needs. I recommend anyone to start Pilates with Movement
