SLT Short Hills
“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”
