Velliðan | The Pilates Room

I really appreciate this studio, especially since they increased the number of mat, reformer, and other equipment Pilates classes. I am a regular Pilates practitioner and it is difficult to find well-trained instructors and a flexible variety of evening classes in the Ithaca area. Many thanks to Vellidan for supplying this!

Incredibly grateful to have found this space! I have felt comfortable trying new things & asking for help in both 1:1 & group classes. I also feel a renewed//more informed sense of body awareness, thanks to the instruction I have received here. Thank you, Velloðan! ☺️

Joining Vellidan (formerly The Pilates Room) was the best New Year's Resolution I made for this year. This space is warm and welcoming and all the instructors have been wonderful while also being completely unique in their focus and delivery. I started January with the unlimited membership (which I highly recommend) so I've taken Facial Refresh, Core XIIT, Pilates (mat) and TRX classes. Each class and each instructor has something different to offer, and with the small class sizes you feel like a part of the community immediately. From week to week the instructors remember specific injuries (to recommend modifications), goals and other pieces that are so important to substantial growth in strength and stamina. The online system is very easy to use to sign up for classes and the cancellation policy is extremely fair. Being right in the heart of Fall Creek with ample parking, the commute there is never a problem. In addition, the class times are perfect for my schedule and they have so many various classes to offer, it's so much more than just Pilates! Finally, they even have online classes if you can't make it in-person on a specific day, which I have also used and found to be extremely beneficial. I really can't recommend Vellidan enough. As a mom of two young children, this was the reminder I needed that feeling strong doesn't need to mean high intensity workouts with guaranteed injuries. Pilates is highly focused core work that is low intensity with a laser focus on correct form rather than overexertion. In just one month I already feel stronger and can feel my balance and core strength improving significantly. Thanks to Tori and the wonderful and knowledgeable instructors at Vellidan for providing such an important service to the downtown area!

After suffering from chronic back pain and being in and out of physical therapy as well as chiropractic care for over 20 years I have finally progressed. In the past I would finish physical therapy and try to start a regular exercise routine only to discover that my back pain would return and then back to physical therapy and chiropractic care I would go again. Thanks to Vellidan now I am pain free while I exercise and also as I move through out the day! I can’t express enough gratitude for this community.❤️

My favorite group fitness membership I’ve ever had and every instructor is the best! Highly recommend
