This is the place for classical Pilates. Erin and Julie know more than any other Pilates instructor Ive worked with. They know anatomy, physical therapy approaches, and consider all your individual needs. Ive had several horseback riding injuries and Im also a hairdresser so there are certain moves that just exacerbate my propensity to be in pain. Both Julie and Erin know how to work my body so that I dont re-injure those areas. They are the best!

Julie and Erin are the best! They are both very caring professionals with an extensive knowledge about Pilates and how to improve your overall core strength and fitness. I have been going to True Method for two years and they have really helped me with my neck, back and shoulder issues. They offer very personalized sessions and always make sure you are using proper Pilates technique. I have gotten so much stronger, much more flexible and my posture is so much better. If you sit at a desk all day like I do, you need to check out this studio!
