Pilates near Des Moines

“The studio is adorable and inviting. The teacher and other participants were lovely and welcoming. The class I took was great, gentle, but still had tons of options to make it as challenging as an individual would like it. The equipment was well organized, clean and available for all. I'm looking forward to trying out all of the different classes offered. I also loved the shorter session at noon, as a work from home person this made it very convenient!“

“Great intro class, low impact but I was happily surprised to feel a little soreness in my core. Friendly staff and lots of variety of socks (I didn’t have any). Plenty of parking.“

“Pilates with Olivia Williams is an elixir for aging gracefully (at any age)! I started working with Olivia shortly after back surgery, worried I might not be able to hike, cross-country ski, or enjoy many of the activities I love. With her thoughtful guidance, she helped me rebuild my strength and confidence and return to those activities I love again. Olivia teaches with intention, helping you connect each movement to its source in your body. She meets you where you are and tailors each lesson to your individual needs. I am deeply grateful for her and cannot recommend Olivia Williams Pilates highly enough.“

“Crishna is extremely knowledgeable at what she does. I have chronic pain and she’s sensitive to my needs. Shes able to think of creative Pilate exercises if I’m having a tougher day and is supportive while nudging me along. She has a great sense of humor which I love! I highly recommend her!!“

“I've been a member of New Life Pilates for nearly two years, and I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I've made for my health and well-being. A close friend recommended it to me, and from day one, I understood why.

The classes are intentionally small, which means every session feels personal and focused. Jennifer, the owner and instructor, is incredibly skilled not only in technique but in creating a supportive, motivating environment. She has a remarkable ability to tailor movements to each individual's needs, ensuring that everyone gets the most out of their workout, whether you're a beginner or more advanced.

The studio itself is clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to foster both comfort and concentration. It's clear that every detail from the equipment to the class structure has been curated with care.

If you're looking for a Pilates studio that combines expert instruction with a warm, community feel, New Life Pilates with Jennifer at the helm is the place. I can't recommend it highly enough.“

“I have been taking Pilates classes with Cynthia for the past two years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Her keen focus on body mechanics, form, and alignment has truly transformed the way I move and feel. Every session is thoughtfully designed, and she takes the time to ensure that each movement is performed with precision, helping me build strength while avoiding injury.
Her attention to detail and personalized approach make all the difference, and she has a gift for tailoring exercises to meet individual needs.

And of course, I have to mention her two adorable golden retrievers, Josh and Sam, who are always around to brighten my day with their cuteness. They make the studio feel even more welcoming and are such a delightful part of the experience.“
