So many Pilates studios, how do I choose?

Short answer: You have to do the research!.

With so many Pilates studios out there, it can be overwhelming to know which one is the right fit. A good place to start is by looking at the instructors’ credentials. Make sure they’re certified through a reputable program that includes comprehensive training; are able to offer modifications for different bodies and abilities. Experienced instructors will know how to adjust exercises to suit your needs, whether you're dealing with an injury, are brand new to Pilates, or are looking to deepen your practice. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about their training—any quality studio will be happy to share.

Safety should always be a top priority. Look for a studio that keeps class sizes small enough for instructors to give personal attention and correct your form. The space should feel welcoming, clean, and organized, with equipment that’s well-maintained. A great studio will also take the time to get to know your goals and what areas need attention or you are feeling pain. Whether you're looking for a challenging workout or something gentle and rehabilitative, choosing a studio with knowledgeable professionals will help you move better, feel stronger, and stay safe while doing it.
