Pilates in Washington

“The instructors are excellent, there is a large selection of classes, and the multiple locations are convenient. Customer service is also very prompt and helpful. For an organization to care about its clients and have a personal touch is a rarity these days, but RTR has it.“

“Welcoming environment. Teachers are tuned in to individual needs and challenges and make it fun.“

“I stopped in to buy some cbd at the other business in the room. Prior to that I took a mean fall and hurt myself bad. The ladies working hooked up ice and took care of me and I appreciated it.“

“I worked with Annie almost every week for four months and pretty intensively over the course of six months. Her physical therapy and needling were a miracle. When we began working together I could hardly walk or exercise due to a back issue. I'm completely back to a full exercise routine now and stronger than I was to begin with. This journey was not a straight line of improvement as I had significant setbacks along the way. I will definitely consult with Annie moving forward as I keep exercising because she is so knowledgeable and helpful.

Here is what Annie did that helped so much:
1. Annie really listens. She incorporated the details of what I was doing, what was working or not, and she heard the heart of what I was saying whenever I became frustrated.
2. Annie really watched how I did the exercises and felt the muscles (and whatever else is there) in my back.
3. Because I had a long while when I was improving slowly or having setbacks, it was very important to have someone who observed and understood my situation. Annie did that. I felt that she was totally with me. We did not only talk about exercising, but about how I was moving during the day, how I was sitting when I went out, etc.
4. Annie was concerned to tailor my program to me and what would feel good and motivate me. She made a video of me doing every new exercise with an explanation. She was mindful of keeping me interested and motivated so that I would do my exercises.
5. Even though the needling really worked - a game changer for me - Annie was mindful of not doing it too much and making sure that I could deal with discomfort and temporary glitches when they arose.

I wholeheartedly recommend Annie. I could not have had better care.“

“Can not recommend more highly. Thanks to Ryan I went from a knee replacement diagnosis to playing tennis, pickleball and golf weekly. No surgery, just Pilates and a great trainer. This studio is a jewel. All the instructors are first rate.“

“About eight years ago, I came to Pure Joe's after enjoying Pilates at another well-respected studio in town. The other studio warned me that I'd find Pure Joe too tough - too focused on footwork and form, too demanding. Well, if you're not doing Pilates right, you're not doing Pilates. And Pure Joe's instructors make sure you learn Pilates the right way. They are meticulous, while being supportive and encouraging. They may seem demanding, but that's because form is so critical to achieving the results Pilates has the potential to deliver. The instructors see the routines and habits on which your body relies to remain weak and help you fix those bad habits. I beg for that correction - the value added is in those corrections by the instructor. I can do Pilates on my own, but it's the expertise and experience of the instructors that makes Pilates really work for your body. And there's no better place than Pure Joe. I've tried other studios, other instructors, in DC and elsewhere. But Pure Joe's instructors are unparalleled in the quality of their instruction. My body has been transformed, my core completely strengthened. I even Outdid Pilates through two pregnancies, and the instructors modified the moves to make sure I remained fit and challenged but not cause any problem. Pure Joe is simply the best. Go!“

“I’ve been going to SC for 2 years and I love it! The coaches and the community are wonderful. It’s a challenging and rewarding workout!“

“I have been practicing yoga for over 30 years at many different studios. Past Tense is as good as they get. Excellent teachers, strong sense of community, and two really nice studio spaces in Mt Pleasant. Very grateful to have in our neighborhood.“

“I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to keep up, and being new to the studio, I wasn't too sure of what was needed coming in. Kendra was at the front desk and accessible to instruct me on what to bring into the space. Her instruction during the class was great. There were options for modification, but her energy in the room made me want to push through when it became challenging. The room was filled with what seemed like regulars (of all shapes and sizes) who were committed and ready, and that added to the experience.

The studio was equipped and clean. I was able to shower after my second class and felt comfortable doing so. I highly recommend Kendra, her class, and studio.“

“This is a very professional and caring studio. If you want to learn the correct snd no nonsense pilates, this is your place.“

“I attended Elite Physical Therapy in 2024 before and after a labrum tear hip orthoscopy surgery. The staff were always kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. I was always impressed how it seemed like each member of the staff knew each patients name. The PT was instrumental in my recovery. They paced the increased difficult in therapy exercises perfectly. Often I would be unsure I could perform a certain action and a week or two later would be doing it with ease. You're in great hands here.“

“A cute Pilates studio right in the heart of Petworth. Classes are offered morning and night every day of the week for people of all abilities. The studio is clean and well maintained. Class prices are very reasonable. The space is perfect for a good work out session with just the right ambiance and music. The instructors are amazing. They are great with cuing and assisting you in learning the proper form. So no matter your abilities are you will love this studio. Don’t forget to check out some of their cool tie dyed merchandise with the district Pilates logo.“

“Love SolidCore! The AdMo crew is friendly and encouraging. I’ve been doing this workout for a year now and it’s still just as challenging as the first day I joined. Don’t be intimidated give it a try!“

“As someone who has been doing solidcore for 5 years in different cities - this is one of the best locations by far. Coach Alethea is one of the nicest & most thoughtful coaches/humans. She will get to know you, cheer you on throughout the entire class, and let you know that if you don’t want to get on your toes today that’s okay! She is all about listening to your body and being positive - and her classes are top notch. I leave feeling so good and not having to workout again for a couple days to rest my body! Thank you Alethea and all the solidcore coaches I’ve gotten to know!“

“Just did my first class at solidcore with Christina K (who subbed another instructor) and I love it. I’ve been doing reformer Pilates for more than 16 years so this was an interesting modification of what I’m used to. The pace was slightly different and their unique reformer “sweatlana” was so diverse . Can’t wait to go back.“

“Took a 1.5 Flow with Claudia O through ClassPass and I loved it! Claudia was a great instructor. I would book a class taught by her again!“
