Report
I have been coming to The Inner Space for 6 years, after a string of sports & overuse injuries knocked me out of most activity. This classical Pilates studio features highly personalized, small group classes (both in person and by video) which are all taught by incredibly knowledgeable and seasoned instructors who feel more like family. The studio has continued to challenge me while keeping me injury free & out of PT/chiropractor!
