A 25 year commitment is a long time for any relationship.
Mine with Monarch Pilates & Physical Therapy been one of the best, most appreciated connections I’ve experienced. Pilates has cultivated an appreciation for my physical body and its capabilities. But my mind goes through its paces as well. This studio is a place of growth, strength and confidence building. From the talented, well educated team to the friendly fellow clientele, it’s welcoming, special place. ♥

For anyone with injuries or surgeries or challenges with mobility - GO TO MONARCH PILATES! They are so much more than an exercise studio. They are experts in body mechanics and in teaching how to correct and improve body mechanics. Every time I go there I walk away with a new chapter in my personal encyclopedia of how to move better. They have helped me recover from multiple injuries and surgeries and my range of motion is now better than ever.
Seriously. Go there.

After doing various forms of exercise over the last 30+ years, I started Pilates at Monarch and immediately saw a difference in my posture and strength. The focus of understanding how the exercises work the different muscles improved the workout immensely and the small class size means you receive personal corrections and feedback to be safe. I can now lift my granddaughter with proper form and enjoy playing at the playground without restriction or pain. Monarch Pilates has helped me to keep living my life as I always have and to continue to build strength as I age instead of losing it
