Center Street Studios Pilates & Yoga

I have been a Pilates Reformer student at Center Street Studios since May 2019. I love my practice at the studio and love my instructors. I am never bored because Lesley (owner and instructor) and the other instructors (Amanda, Dani and Christina) change up the routines to keep them interesting. I had a hip replacement in August 2021. When my doctor said it was okay to return to practice, Lesley made sure to tailor some of the exercises to meet my needs which she does with every student, whether it's a shoulder issue, back issue or any issue that needs to be addressed. Also, the instructors ensure that exercises are performed properly but with a consistent positive approach. I will be 77 in November. I think Pilates at Center Street Studios has had a positive effect on me both physically and mentally. I recommend highly!

I started at Center Street Studio over six years ago because I had broken my elbow and needed to build strength in a low impact program. Leslie and the team at Center Street Studio worked with me utilizing Pilates reformer classes and the improvements to my arm strength and general mobility was immediate. Six years later not only do I have the strength in my arm, but it has dramatically improved my overall balance, built my core and back strength and I'm stronger now and feel better than I did in my 30's. I plan to continue my Pilates practice and remain active well into my 60's and 70's!

I’ve been coming to the mat Pilates class with Amanda and it has been amazing! Having a small class is helpful to not overwhelm new comers and it creates a more comfortable environment, and she makes the class fun but still challenging - you never get bored as there’s always new moves to learn combined with ones you’ve mastered. Highly recommend especially for people who are looking to start getting into Pilates.

I walked into center street studio 7 years ago took my first mat class, and haven't left. I fell in love with the movement. Lesley and her staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable about what was right for MY body. My pilates practice has help heal me physically and emotional. Highly recommend.

I’ve been coming to CSS since the start of 2019. This studio is outstanding. Lesley and her team provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment to learn Pilates and yoga. I started taking Pilates classes to improve my overall health and mobility. An old running injury combined with years sitting at a desk for work took a toll on my body. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my mobility and flexibility since joining CSS. My chronic back pain has also improved dramatically. Classes are fun and dynamic. The routine changes all the time so it never gets boring. The staff makes accommodations for new students and people experiencing injuries, so it’s easy to join classes even if you are brand new to Pilates or coming back after a long break. If you are looking to learn Pilates and yoga from some of the best instructors in the DMV, this is the studio for you!
