★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1MBS is amazing! Every instructor here is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly warm and supportive, which makes each class feel approachable no matter your experience level. I always leave class feeling stronger, more centered, and excited to come back. This is hands down the best place to experience Pilates!!
August 23 · Ellen DaceI started going to MBS about a year ago (reluctantly), when my sis-in-law gifted my wife and I a series of private instruction with Heather. My wife and I are in our 50's, so this was definitely something new for us. I have to say that I have really surprised myself to say that I've been a devotee ever since.First off, the workouts are legit. You are pushed in every class, in the best possible way. And there are plenty of options as you progress and get stronger, to increase the intensity of the reformer, mat, body sculpt, and "bootcamp" classes, which are my favorite.Secondly, Heather and her team of instructors are awesome. Super encouraging and welcoming, especially making a guy like me feel very comfortable, even when I didn't know what I was doing. They are very hands on to ensure everyone is using the proper technique and breathing at all times. And everyone taking classes at MBS are just as encouraging and fun. My wife and I have met a lot of great people! We couldn't be happier with how it's made us look and most importantly, feel.I highly recommend checking MBS out if you haven't already, especially guys. MBS Pilates can give you as much of a workout that you can handle at any fitness level. It's definitely changed our fitness routines, energy and overall well being for the better!
June 14 · Jeff SevcikThe instructors here are truly outstanding. Each one brings their own unique energy, expertise, and encouragement to every session. They’re incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy and movement, and they always take the time to ensure that each exercise is performed with proper form and alignment.The classes themselves are thoughtfully structured, well-paced, and varied.If you’re looking for a place to improve your strength, flexibility, posture, and overall body awareness in a positive, empowering environment—this is it. This studio has completely transformed the way I feel in my body. Highly, highly recommended!
April 13 · Ivana TošićSo glad I found MBS Pilates! Heather and her team are amazing. The classes are great and the variety keeps things challenging and fun. Most importantly, the instructors know their stuff! I continued to take classes up until 39 weeks pregnant. I'm now ~6mos pp and have never felt stronger. Highly recommend MBS!
February 01 · Rhiannon DeeI’m Edie and love every one of the classes I’ve taken. The instructors are amazing - all (actually there’s one instructor I haven’t tried due to scheduling but I hear she’s great). What MBS has done for my strength, flexibility and posture is unbelievable. The instructors somehow can support 10 people at once so I feel almost like it was a private lesson - except the group vibe and support is wonderful. Extremely reasonable in cost given the level of expertise of the teachers and quality of the equipment. A truly special place.
