I absolutely LOVE Pilates Sol! I've taken private classes with both Kim and Amy, and they're both outstanding! It's a sweet little downtown studio that provides a great and refreshing escape from the craziness of the work day. Give it a try... you'll be glad you did!

Best workout I've had in a long time! I have had four sessions now, and I know I'm going to be a lifelong devotee. If you want to really learn Pilates, this is a tremendous studio in which to do it. You will learn the exercises, the machines, and the proper technique. You can also learn the reasons why each exercise works so well, which muscle groups are being worked, and how it is benefiting you, if you ask Marcie to explain. Whether you're into a deeper understanding of Pilates or not, it doesn't take long for this studio to change your body. You will look leaner and

I am so happy with the Pilates Sol Studio! They have top of the line equipment, very clean studio, and a very comfortable setting. I started Pilates to help with my back and flexibility. (I have not been able to touch my toes for about 20 years.) After about a month working with Marcie I was able to touch my toes! Being 6'0 this was a major accomplishment for me. I could feel my posture improving, and see that my muscles were becoming more tone. In the beginning the instructors really worked with me to find my strengths and weaknesses. Once they learned my limits the sessions really picked

This is a private pilates studio in the downtown area in the CBD. They promptly returned my email to schedule an appointment. Initially, I told the instructor I had done pilates 3 times this week and was expecting a good workout. They had the traditional pilates equipment and it was very clean and well kept. The private session in my opinion was unremarkable. I don't think the instructor had experience dealing with clients one on one. Usually the first session is the clincher and I really don't feel like I was challenged or worked out. Take note, they only accept cash and checks.
