EveryBody Movement and Wellness

EveryBody Movement and Wellness is an amazing studio! I’ve taken the Pilates spring classes and yoga classes. The instructors are attentive and communicative and the exercise feels great. I mainly do private classes with Julia. She knows body mechanics better than any PT or exercise person I’ve worked with. She is exceptionally skilled at tailoring strength building exercises to your needs. Her classes are rigorous and feel so good! She has saved my back over the years and has kept me in the game by keeping my mobility, flexibility and strength up. I could not recommended Everybody more!

My experience at EveryBody Movement and Wellness has been fantastic. I have been taking pilates classes at the studio for three years and over this time my body has gotten so much stronger, I have fewer aches and pains and even my confidence has improved. Julia is incredibly skilled and has a master level understanding of body mechanics. In my sessions, she is able to tailor the exercises to any needs I have while at the same time challenging me and providing a rigorous workout. She is also always coming up with new exercises so it’s never boring! On top of this, the studio is extremely welcoming and feels like a safe space for anyone interested in moving their body.

I highly recommend this wonderful, beautiful studio and the smart and talented people who work here. I will be 80 years old in a couple of years, and I have had my share of aches and injuries during my life. I have had excellent physical therapy and fitness coaches in the past, but I rate my pilates work with Julia at EveryBody Movement and Wellness over the past three years as tops for my current needs. Julia is a great teacher and listener, and she has helped me understand the way that our muscles support our bones. At every session, we explore what is going on with my body, and she tailors the session to address these issues. I always feel stronger after each class, and I have made great progress in the wake of some difficult pain and injuries. Of course I have had doctors and medical treatment, but my work with Julia has made a huge difference. Pilates is not about stretching, but about building a strong foundation to hold up our bodies so they can move without pain.

Attending weekly springboard classes at EveryBody is not only a joyful part of my routine, but a vital component in my wellness! Both Kalila and Megan are encouraging and supportive instructors who have taken the time to understand my individual movement goals even in group classes. Over the last year(+) I have seen a noticeable improvement in my strength, posture, and general energy level.

Highly recommend EveryBody Movement and Wellness - the space is warm and welcoming and the instructors are wonderful. I started going about 3 months ago and have been taking the springboard pilates class regularly which I not only enjoy, but have been a great source of stress relief and core strengthening. I moved into the neighborhood 2 years ago and had really missed group workout classes after leaving Fishtown since there seem to be more limited options readily available in West Philly. EveryBody has really filled that space in my schedule and given me a great outlet and little community. If you're on the fence about trying out EveryBody, I would encourage you to do it!
