Ashley is a master instructor. This is one of the few places where instructors go to get their bodies trained. She is knowledgeable, professional, sincere, and kind. Her private sessions, classes and her workshops are all fantastic. You will feel safe and cared for in her beautiful studio. The fact that you can be seen by multiple experts for more complete care, in one location, is a huge bonus. I whole heartedly recommend Taylor Pilates and Fitness.

Ashley has helped me through a rough recovery and has helped keep my body aligned since then. Without her vast knowledge and attention to detail I have no doubt I would still be living with my painful injury.

I just started Pilates at the suggestion of my fabulous massage therapist. Somehow, not knowing one thing about it, I thought it was going to be easy. It is not, but my body tells me it is so worth my effort. Ashley Taylor is incredibly perceptive, notices everything and is a very good listener. This is a whole new world for me, and I am loving the exploration. It's the New Year - why not give yourself the gift of a trip to Planet Pilates!
