Deciding to try pilates again after driving by this studio several times feels like the best thing I've done for myself all year.I was a little nervous at first—though I'd done a few mat pilates classes over a decade ago, I'd done yoga for years and always found the atmosphere to be somewhat competitive and "showy." MoveME pilates is worlds away from all of that, and I felt at ease the moment I walked in. It's a beautiful, cozy studio. The atmosphere is relaxed, and everyone I encountered is super warm and friendly. I feel very fortunate to have such a great place practically right around the corner from where I live—I'll be spending a lot of time here!

The barre class is a wicked fun workout, even if you're a drop in! ?

I'm a PILATES GIRL now!! Absolutely obsessed after just 2 classes with Abbey. She makes me feel SO comfortable and capable. I am not a fitness person by any means so I have been intimidated by pilates for so long. I finally sucked it up and bought a pass. WOW I wish I started earlier I'm literally in love. Anyone can do it, you have to take 3 one-on-one classes first so you get direct attention to learn all the moves before going into regular classes. It's so much more fun than you think it is and your body will BURN good for days after. I can't wait to see how I look and feel after a couple months of this. Abbey is 10 stars.

I have been driving past the MoveME studio for years and decided THIS was the year I was going to try pilates. I LOVE IT! It's the perfect balance of movement and stretching, and Melissa (owner & instructor) keeps the routine fresh from week to week. I've noticed a big difference in my strength and endurance. If yoga is too slow for you but cardio is too much, then pilates is just right. I love working on the reformer and can do things now that I couldn't even 3 months ago. I have more flexiblity and less joint and muscle pain. I'm so glad I took a chance on trying something new. It's the first exercise regimen that's I've stuck too. The studio is bright and clean, plenty of parking and lots of class options to suit your schedule and fitness needs. And the instructors are wonderful - patient and encouraging. It's the best decision I've made in 2022!

MoveME is a wonderful studio. There is a range of classes offered each week -barre, pilates, and yoga- all taught by Melissa. No matter your experience level, you can take any of her classes and always get an excellent workout. Her high energy and the little community she has built at this location keeps you going to class.

Melissa teaches chair yoga at my pain management rehab at Mercy Hospital. She is fantastic! She is patient and understanding. I have wanted to do yoga for years but knew with my limitations I couldn’t just walk into any yoga class. Melissa has made yoga a possibility by helping me learn how to work within my limitations!
