What Our Students Say

“When I first started Pilates several years ago, I was afraid that I was not going to be able to get through an entire workout because I was really out of shape. But what I learned is that at Studio Evolve, ANYTHING can be adjusted to meet my current level of fitness and so my fear of not being able to complete a workout went away after coming to just one class."

“After breaking my femur and having a complicated knee replacement, I couldn’t even stand to cook a meal. Pilates helped me recover and rebuild stability—I can trust my knee again, and I can even do squats now!”

"Between Pilates and PT, my plantar fasciitis has gotten so much better—it's night and day from what it used to be. Also, I don’t worry about what I look like, what I wear, or if my hair is done. I always feel free to adjust my workout, and it doesn’t feel like a competition."
—Lucy

"I found that the personal attention at Studio Evolve has made an enormous difference. The atmosphere is welcoming and open - it embraces you with calmness, serenity, and even a sense of humor. I was grateful to see people my age when I joined, and it's where I met Frieda. That was the start of a cherished friendship that has supported us both in staying consistent and having fun with our Pilates practice."

“Before Pilates, my hip pain kept flaring up, but now it’s so much more manageable—and my instructor tailors sessions so I can always move safely. The best surprise? I’ve actually grown taller! I’ve always been five three and change… now I’m five four and a quarter!”
— Alisa

“Before Pilates, even riding the bus gave me painful back spasms. Now, with a stronger core, I don’t worry about my back. The teachers worked with me to avoid pain and build confidence—it’s not just for 20-year-olds with perfect bodies, it’s for anyone who wants to feel strong and keep doing what they love.”
— Geoff
-
![A woman with wavy brown hair, smiling outdoors with water and a distant shoreline in the background.]()
“When I started Pilates, my doctor said no yoga, no biking—and later told me my herniated disk had been so bad I was a candidate for back surgery. After consistent Pilates, the disk completely retracted, and surgery was no longer necessary.”
— Inga
FAQs: New Student questions
-
We are 99 percent sure the answer is yes - and we can give a personalized recommendation as well. Our Essentials classes are specifically for new clients, so that can be a great first step to giving classes a try.
We keep our group classes small (no more than 5 people) and our instructors are aces at tailoring the class routine to the bodies in the room. Plus your private session instructor can coach you on strategies for moving well throughout an open-level class.
-
No need for fancy fitness clothes! Our inclusive wellness practices emphasize comfort. Just wear clothes you can move in—like a t-shirt and sweatpants. Studio Evolve is a welcoming, shame-free fitness space where your movement and comfort come first.
-
For most people, we recommend 2-3 sessions per week - privates, classes or a combo - in order to really reap the benefits of Pilates and/or Gyrotonic sessions. We are excited to offer our Accelerator Program for just that reason. Read more about it on our Accelerator Page.
Some clients choose to start with just once a week and still feel and see the benefits of the work. A lot depends on your current level of activity.
-
If you’re human, you’ll fit right in at Studio Evolve. Whatever your age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity or perspective, all are welcome here.
Our diverse clientele ranges in age from teenager to 90 years old and in fitness level from self-described “couch potato” to triathlete.
Our restrooms and private changing area are gender-inclusive. We respect neurological diversity by tailoring sessions to each person’s thinking and learning style. That is the benefit of a custom session!
-
Yes, provided your doctor or physical therapist says it’s OK. Many of our clients have “graduated” from physical therapy, have been cleared to exercise and want a movement practice that keeps them healthy. Some clients start Private sessions while they are still completing their course of Physical Therapy. Our instructors are happy to consult with your physical therapist to create a safe and effective full-body movement program.
-
Yes. And in some super interesting ways. Might you indulge us while we geek out about them?
…OK we’re going to take that as a YES!
Do you know about your vagus nerve? It’s a long, shaggy, meandering nerve (vagus means “wandering” in Latin) that connects your brain, heart and gut together. It’s basically the queen of your parasympathetic nervous system - aka the chill out/rest-and-digest one. You want your vagus nerve to be healthy and strong - aka “high vagal tone.”
Deep breathing, like the kind you do in Pilates and Gyrotonic sessions, turns the vagus nerve on enough that it acts as a brake on your stress response. Plus, both methods helps you develop interoception - the capacity to sense yourself within your body. Learning to recognize and respect your body’s interoceptive signals tends to your vagal tone.
