★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Jonnie was super friendly and made me feel comfortable in this new space! It was my first week doing Pilates so I wasn’t use to moving certain ways. She was patient with me and made my session very enjoyable (even though the clamshell was a 🔥 burn)! I will be coming back to this studio soon!
July 31 · Bier NolanI’ve taken reformer Pilates classes for years at several studios in the area. I cannot rate Faith and her team higher!The teaching is very individualized and well adapted for my skill/needs. Every instructor gives a tip or trick to adjust something in my daily life that really carries forward the progress I make in lessons. Even my mogul skiing has gotten better from some of the jump board practice!Backcountry has been the perfect cure to my very sedentary desk job!
March 02 · Shelby McPhersonMy lesson with Crishna was wonderful as always- worked every art of my body and I feel really good afterwards!
