Pilates near Maplewood

“I am in love with this place !! It is so clean and cozy . The group classes are phenomenal and if you have time make sure to take a private Pilates lesson with Catriona ! She really went into depth about the core of Pilates and I have never been more acknowledged . Can’t wait to come back .“

“Dr. Vanessa is quite possibly *the best* doctor I've ever visited; and I've been to a few. I started with her acupuncture treatments during pregnancy and she has been critically vital in my postpartum journey with both naturopathic and acupuncture work. She has helped me diagnose through testing some underlying medical issues and puts together a comprehensive plan to solve those issues and I've already observed drastically positive changes. She truly cares about your health and takes the time to explain things that even my large team of doctors don't properly sit down to articulate. She's incredibly smart and educated and without her I would have never found the underlying issues. I highly recommend her and the wonderful team that supports her practice!“

“I have been coming to SLT Short Hills since maybe 2016/18 and I wanted to share why after all these years.

Pilates is having a huge moment right now. There are so many studios popping up everywhere. But my journey started over ten years ago, back when there were barely five studios in all of New Jersey. I still remember a person asking me one day where I lived, then wondering why I drive all this way. My answer was simple even though SLT is a 30 minute drive, I would never compromise the corrections, the energy, and the enthusiasm of the instructors here. They are highly qualified and know exactly how to make sure you are moving correctly.

That matters more than people realize. It is so easy today to be fooled by classes taught by instructors who are not practicing safe, corrective movement. As a business owner and a fitness enthusiast, I have only ever come to SLT for good reason.

The biggest reason I am writing this now is what these past few months have meant to me. After finishing the Boston Marathon and coming off a pretty troubling injury, I used April and May to focus on my fitness outside of running, and that included SLT. What most people do not realize is that during certain injuries, movement is incredibly beneficial. My attendance in class truthfully helped repair my injury and got me back on track toward my running goals and dare I say I am performing better?!

My appreciation for the women of this studio is second to none. They are impressive, vigilant, and completely aligned with my own mindset. I could not be more grateful for everything they have given me, especially these last two months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

So here is my PSA. Do your homework and know the kind of place you are walking into. For me, that means instructors who are vigilant, trained appropriately, and yes, who like to work hard and sweat for a minute or two haha“

“Clean, well organized fitness center with a friendly professional staff. My husband and I have been going there for over 2 years and work with John who has definitely helped us with our fitness goals and a healthy lifestyle. Highly recommend him and the fellow trainers.“

“I did a class here recently and honestly loved the vibe. The studio is super clean and homey, and everyone was really friendly from the second I walked in.

You can tell the manager and instructors actually care about what they’re doing. It doesn’t feel intimidating, and they seem really focused on good form and helping people move well. I didn't feel rushed through the workout at all.

It feels like the kind of place where you’d feel comfortable whether you’re brand new or have been doing Pilates for years. Definitely a great addition to Montclair!!“

“Great introduction to the studio! Ashley was amazing, she explained everything clearly and made me feel completely comfortable with the process. She was super helpful with form redirections, and the music kept the energy high. Highly recommend“

“After a spinal injury and sleeping in a chair for almost a year, I was ready to get back to living. I found Soo and have literally experienced a miraculous recovery with greatly reduced pain and increased mobility in a very short time. My wife and I are blessed to work with Soo and words alone cannot express the gratitude we feel. She is one of a kind!“

“Aubrey was amazing during the mommy and me class that I brought my 6 year old to. She engaged with my daughter while making sure she gave me a class that fit my challenge level. She had fun props that kept my daughter engaged throughout and made us both feel included throughout. She is wonderful and I’d come back for more classes with my kids! Thank you for making the session so special for my daughter and me, Aubrey! ❤“

“I have take 2 online classes with Tara Lyn and they were both amazing due to her excellent cuing and attention to detail. She has a fun and lively personality that comes through in her teaching and makes you feel comfortable.“

“I love Club Pilates Madison! Their instructors are high quality and they have a variety of styles so you can get good variety out of your membership and different levels of classes and difficulty. They have been very accommodating and responsive when I had to pause my membership for a brief period due to a health issue and when any other issues came up. The instructors are pretty good about giving alternatives if you are not able to do something and allowing the class to be personalized if you have any specific body issues where you can't do something. I personally recommend getting an unlimited membership because you get to sign up for classes earlier and the spots can fill up fast. When I had an 8x a month membership, it was harder to get a spot in the classes but the waitlists for classes do move.“

“I’ve had a fantastic experience at Pure Pilates. The space is clean, welcoming, and provides the perfect environment for a focused workout. Katie is an incredible instructor—she is highly knowledgeable, attentive to form, and consistently tailors the sessions to be both challenging and rewarding. Whether you are a beginner or looking to advance your practice, I highly recommend booking a session here!“

“When six different surgeons could not help with my chronic back pain, the only person who did manage to get some relief for me was Alex. I highly recommend them and will absolutely go back if need be. Very well run and professional atmosphere along with being incredibly personable.“

“Magdalena (aka Leny) is a true gift! Her healing hands are pure magic. between the skills she learned as a Physical Therapist and her abilities and knowledge of muscles from massage therapy, she has healed almost every muscle issue i have from head to toe. Using a mix of therapies, she's addressed my carpel tunnel, TMJ and sciatic nerve pain. I can't say enough about how unique this skill is to marry PT with massage, I walk out of every session feeling no pain. Walk, limp, skip or run and sign up for at least 4 sessions. You'll thank me.“

“I’ve had a few visits and genuinely wish I can give 10stars. You’re always met with a smile upon walking in and Dr. Hagman is a true professional. I would strongly recommend making an appointment with Springfield Chiropractic Center“

“Love this little Pilates studio, perfect way to get your workout in if you’re a Staten Island local. Everyone is so friendly and each instructor has their own style! Christine the owner is so lovely and always within reach, love that it’s a puppy and Pilates class, keeps the energy moving in the room!“

“They are so good. The ambiance is incredible, the music playlist is always on point, but the best part of this place is the instructors. They are truly exceptional.

They go above and beyond to make sure you’re getting the most out of every class, taking the time to correct your form on the machine and provide individual attention. That level of coaching makes all the difference and is what sets this studio apart. ✨?“

“Rafael - Amazing Pilates instructor! Clear cues, great energy, and always makes class challenging but fun. I leave every session feeling stronger and more confident.“

“Natalia is an excellent instructor. Caring from beginning to end of class. Makes it fun with her own spin of style to get a great workout.“

“Lauren usan excellent instructor and she ensured our alignment through each pose is safe to get ultimate results!“

“My best friend and I go to the Sunday 9am class with Grace every week and we love it. Grace is honestly such a great instructor. Her classes are super welcoming, encouraging, and still challenging in a good way.

I also really like how inclusive the environment feels. Sometimes there are professional yoga teachers taking class too, which is honestly really inspiring, but Grace still makes sure everyone feels comfortable no matter their experience level.

She walks around a lot during class giving individual compliments, adjustments, and suggestions, which makes the class feel really personal and supportive. I also appreciate that there’s zero pressure, if the room gets too hot, you’re allowed to lay down and listen to your body.

Also shoutout to the lady at the front desk (I forgot her name 😭) because she’s SO nice and welcoming. Such a social butterfly and always makes the studio feel friendly the second you walk in.

Bathrooms are always clean, the vibe is great, and everyone there is cool. Definitely recommend.“
