Pilates near West Hartford

“My posture has improved 10 fold, my husband commented this past week that it is consistently better now. Over the last 6 months I’ve consistently come to this studio and look forward as my favourite hour of the week. The instructors knowledge is superb and you won’t have a bad experience.“

“Excellent exercise. Classes are always different so it’s not boring. Teachers are very knowledgeable are able to adjust to your person ability. I joined at age 63 after never liking any kind of exercise and I still like going after 1 1/2 years and 249 classes. I am much stronger and flexible. Highly recommend.“

“I am very intentional about who I trust with my health and overall well-being, and working with Dr. Tim at The Posture Bar Pilates & Chiropractic Studio has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I see him on a monthly basis, and the level of expertise, precision, and thoughtfulness he brings to every session is truly exceptional. His approach is intentional, restorative, and focused on long-term alignment and posture. I am sincerely grateful for his dedication and the impact his work has had on my overall well-being.

I drive nearly 50 minutes for my appointments, and I do so willingly because the quality of my experience is absolutely worth it. When you find someone who is this skilled and genuinely invested in your progress, distance becomes irrelevant.

What I value most is that I always leave learning something new. Dr. Tim takes the time to educate you about your body, posture, and alignment in a way that is empowering and lasting. I leave every visit not only feeling physically better, but also more aware, informed, and equipped to support my long-term health.

I also want to recognize Mary, who was my very first point of contact and has been wonderful throughout my entire experience. Her warmth, responsiveness, and professionalism immediately made me feel comfortable and confident moving forward. She is always thoughtful with communication, appointment reminders, and follow-up, and her attentiveness and kindness truly elevate the entire experience. ?

Finding Dr. Tim and Mary has truly been a gift, and I feel blessed to be under their guidance.

I would highly recommend The Posture Bar Pilates & Chiropractic Studio to anyone seeking a high-quality, intentional, and truly exceptional experience. ?✨“

“I really enjoyed my class with Kris!! It was a unique blend of circuit training and Pilates reformer workout! As an experienced Pilates practitioner I found the class challenging yet safe and effective. It was also very cool to learn about Kris’s custom made reformers! Amazing experience. I’ll definitely come back every time I visit CT!“

“I've been attending mat and reformer Pilates classes at Fuller Yoga for about a year, and am very glad to have found this studio! The owner, Lauren, and all the other instructors take the time to make sure each student develops an understanding of the practice and how to work within their own limitations. In addition to building strength and improving my posture, I'm learning about proper body mechanics and alignment. As a result, much of the joint pain I've experienced for years is gone. And, when it does flare up, I'm often able to relieve it with some of the exercises I've learned in class. I can honestly say Pilates at Fuller has changed my life for the better.“

“Excellent therapist. I’m a trail runner and need deep tissue to help with it bands, siatica and general issues. Donna took the (extra) time to assess my needs and delivered the right amount of pressure /relaxation during the massage. She is knowledgeable in pressure points ( great tips on what stretches/ foam roller to do!) and delivered an excellent massage that eased my pains and calmed my mind; Thank you!“

“I love this studio! I am new to Pilates and have found everyone to be warm, inviting and very knowledgeable. The small class sizes and personal attention ensure that you are doing each exercise correctly and safely. In just three months I have noticed a big difference in how my body looks and feels.“

“This is a terrific studio for anyone doing Pilates to promote functional mobility. I have practiced Pilates at many studios for 15 years, and CBP is unique among them and perfect for my current goals. Fran has designed the studio to complement her physical therapy practice (Durant) and I have come to admire many of her decisions. Since many CBP clients come from Durant PT, all new clients go through a Principles foundation course to teach the logic behind the different core moves of Pilates. Each month features a different focus on a different movement or part of body to review body awareness for that topic. This is not a studio that will run through the classical Joe Pilates routines on autopilot; the curriculum focuses entirely on the Pilates movements that are most relevant to everyday life and functional movement. I am especially grateful for Fran’s commitment to prenatal/postnatal clients. Prenatal/postnatal classes and Fran’s pelvic floor PT sessions are baby-friendly, and my baby absolutely loved being entertained by Sophie and Fran while I was doing my exercises. This was the only way it was possible for me to recover so well from childbirth without childcare, and will be some of my fondest memories from maternity leave. While I'm sure it would have been more profitable to cancel prenatal/postnatal class the few times when I was the only student, they never cancelled to make sure that this was an option for anyone in need of child-friendly physical wellness. (As for all other classes, get on the schedule early, as they are often full with waitlists!) I have had positive experiences with every instructor I have had at CBP — Sophie, Fran, Karin, and Heather — and have recommended CBP without hesitation to family members with chronic pain.“
