It's was my first time on a reformer and the instruction was outstanding! Jennifer workout left my body feeling completely balanced with a little soreness around my lower abs due to my abs being in vacation mode. Michelle class was different but similar with my inner thighs getting stronger after JENNIFER told us to try and pop the ball in between our knees. Lovely place with lovely instructors who understand mobility and encourage you to push yourself a little further. Stop in and enjoy!

I've been taking pilates classes at Synergy for years - Sandra and her staff are knowledgable, friendly and welcoming. The studio is small which is one of the reasons I love it; you get personal attention in every class
