Pilates Plus A Restoration Studio, LLC

I am a beginner to pilates, and I have so far been to two introductory classes. I really appreciate the small class size, and the support that the Laurie gives as an instructor. I have so far been very happy with my training, and I leave class excited for the next!

I really was hoping to come here and write a review about how amazing my class was after seeing all the reviews about how welcoming and kind the instructors are. I unfortunately did not have this experience. I have done mat pilates many many times at different studios but this was my first time coming to Pilates Plus. Trying new things is hard! It can be awkward coming into a new studio when you’re unsure where to sit, where to put your stuff, etc. Every studio I have ever been to immediately welcomes me, introduces themselves, asks my name, tells me where to put my belongings, and shows me where to sit. I walked in and me and Laurie were the only two people in the room. She looked at me and looked away while we stood in silence for a good 3 minutes as I was wandering in circles wondering where to go and where to put my belongings. I was honestly confused about the studio because it was covered in reformers and I’ve only ever done mat pilates on the floor. When I inquired about where to go she looked at me like I was an idiot and told me to pick a spot. I literally did not know where to go because I thought it was on the floor. She continued to be short with me and look at me like I was dumb until I decided I was no longer wanting to feel uncomfortable and I left. All anyone wants is to feel welcomed and comfortable when they try something new, and that is definitely not how I felt today.

Laurie is the best! She makes pilates fun and approachable for all levels. She pushes you to be your best and encourages improvement at every class. Her classes WILL kick your butt! I have seen so much improvement in my flexibility, core strength and endurance. Thank you Laurie!

I had taken a pilates class over 20 years ago. I had been looking for a place off and on for many years. I wasn't ever able to find a place where I didn't have to go to these introductory courses and all the extra stuff before being able to start until about 3 weeks ago. I saw something on Instagram about a machine called the gyrotonic and I was intrigued. Googled it and came across this place. Low and behold, she teaches something similar, yet she also teaches; drum roll, pilates without all the extra stuff. I signed up, invited my girlfriend whose never done pilates before. We went to our semi-private session, enjoyed it and we both bought a package and we look forward to going every single session. I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to try something new,something different or even to reconnect to an activity that you once enjoyed or tried and liked. She offers a variety of classes: pilates (mat, props and reformer), yoga, gyrokinesis, barr and cardio/mat to name a few. In addition, she offers private, semi-private and small group sessions all at a very reasonable price.

Life changing. All instructors have many years of experience and teach techniques that become part of your daily practice. You will gain an awareness of your body that will improve your physical and mental being.
