Pilates near Duluth

“My sibling who lives in another state recommended Vitality Method Studio because their instructor recommended Joel Crosby as a Pilates instructor. I've had a few private sessions with Joel, and wow, this guy is incredible. Lucky for me, he just opened this new studio in Snellville.

For those who aren't too familiar with Pilates, it was invented by Joseph Pilates (From Germany), who was sick as a child and created his own physical training system to improve his strength. He later became a professional boxer and self-defense trainer and eventually moved to the USA and opened his own gym in NYC.

Now, to my point--there are different styles of Pilates today, but the original form is called Classical Pilates. This is the one you want to do, and Vitality Method Studio focuses solely on the Classical Pilates Method based on Joseph Pilates' techniques and scientific-based exercises (Physical Therapists use these exercises as well).

Coming here, I didn't know much about Pilates and wasn't sure how intense the workout would be. You really work your entire body with these exercises, with the main focus on building core strength, correcting posture, and aligning the body. If you're a guy like me, you might think this stuff is easy, but these exercises are exactly what your body needs.

Joel is very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and also teaches other instructors. He knows his craft, having taught Pilates for 25 years and worked as a fitness trainer for 31 years. He's an awesome guy, and I would highly recommend this place for anyone--moms, dads, professional athletes, everyone.

What I like is that the sessions you do with him are based on where you are currently, so everything is custom to you. As you continue to work with him, your exercises progress into something more challenging.“

“Easy scheduling, very nice and educated trainers, amazing small environment which is amazing because the trainer can really focus on form. Worth every penny!“

“Marines is a consistent professional! She starts class on time and also keeps the class moving at a great pace.“

“I learned new moves and improved. the instructer has a soothing voice. the building gives a cozy cabin theme.“

“I’ve been a member for several years and love it. I’ve seen a noticeable change in my physical and mental condition. The trainers work with you depending on your ability level or any physical limitations you may have.
I also like that the class package you purchase doesn’t expire for a year. The classes are small and I have never had a problem getting into classes at the last minute which is good for me. Hmmm maybe I shouldn’t be telling everyone this well kept secret:)“

“Jennifer is amazing! She is very detail oriented, which I found out is extremely important as a Pilates instructor. If your form is not right, you don't get the benefits, and she makes sure to correct my form so I do the exercises correctly. If you are a private client, she will tailor the session exactly to your needs so you can progress and improve. She is very calm and when I get frustrated she does not take it personally. She has the perfect personality, training, and experience to do this job. I believe she this is her "calling".“

“One on One PT is an excellent choice. I have had 3 surgeries, thus have been to many PT locations, but this place is far and away the best. The one on one (LITERALLY) attention that you receive from your therapist is exceptional!

I would like to give a special shout out to Jeff Savier at One on One PT. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and a fun therapist to work with.
Jeff has helped me successfully navigate through recovery from a TKR Revision Surgery.

Thanks Jeff!

PS: Erin at the front desk is very helpful and pleasant also:)

“Please do yourself a favor and book a session with Tara at Bodymax Pilates. I suffered from chronic back and neck issues for many years and I found no relief no matter what I tried (spinal injections, PT, acupuncture, massage – you name it). A friend told me I should try Pilates and recommended this studio. I had a false perception of Pilates, thinking it was only for those who fall into the ‘highly flexible’ category or those with a rock-hard core who can bend and pose in all directions. I am so thankful I put my apprehension aside and decided to attend a class because it has been life-altering for me! I feel amazing at the end of each session, my chronic aches and pains have subsided, my posture has greatly improved and I’m developing core muscles for the first time in my life. Tara has taught me to really pay attention to my body in how I walk, sit, and stand. I love that we work on different equipment each class to keep it fun and interesting. Contact Tara – she’s a gem. You will not regret it!“

“A warm, welcoming, small studio. A great place to learn and do Pilates. A fantastic workout catered to your needs.“

“Phenomenal Physical Therapy practice. Well trained therapists. Very knowledgeable staff. I went there after having injuries to both shoulders. Subsequently referred them to a patient recovering from a stroke and he’s done remarkably well with having physical therapy from Body N Balance. Best decision for stroke therapy!“

“Jolayne is absolutely wonderful! Just had my first gyrotonic session and am hooked. You can tell she truly cares about her clients, their experience, and helping them reach their goals. I was a little nervous trying something new but felt completely welcome and at ease right when I stepped through the door, and I am already seeing how I can feel better and improve. So thankful to have found this spot!“

“I’ve been doing christine’s hot hips yoga class consistently for 5 classes now and I feel more stronger after each class! I appreciate her taking the time to correct my positions and she also shows the moves for each move. Bring a water bottle and prepare to sweat!“

“From the moment you walk into the office and are greeted warmly by Sonya to your session with Maria-Elena, you feel like a member of their family. The lobby smells terrific, the equipment is clean and comfortable, and you leave better than when you arrived. Maria-Elena is so kind and skilled at her practice. She works with me on lymphatic drainage massage and has recently started using Cranial Sacral Therapy. I cannot believe how much better I feel since being a patient at Above Physical Therapy. Maria-Elena makes me feel so comfortable, and she is guiding me through my healing journey with great success. If I could go and visit them every day, I would.“

“Amazing experience and just well run from the top down . Whoever the owner is has it right?“
