Rachel R Pilates Reformer with AmyAmy’s Pilates reformer class is such a good workout! It’s just the right amount of challenge to get your muscle activated while also being gentle enough to leave you feeling like you just meditated. If you’ve been wanting to experiment with reformer, this is your sign to do it. You won’t regret it.

Jody F Pilates Reformer with AmyI was super new to reformer and Amy was just amazing. Not only does she know her stuff and how to get your body burning, she is also just a beautiful human being. With her calming music, clear instructions and attention to breath work, Amy’s classes provide a nice break from the fast pace of life. I somehow always leave the studio feeling like I’ve had the best workout yet so relaxed also.
