Pilates near Amherst

“Emily was amazing! My wife and I have never done a Sauna & Ice Bath before, so we signed up for a class where Emily showed us how it’s done! This helped us relax and have a great time and we look forward to doing this again.“

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you to wonderful staff and my PT Brian for the great care I received following a horrible shoulder surgery. Without his help and positive motivation twice a week I would not be where I am today 3 months out ! The staff here is top notch and it is one on one attention. Don’t go anywhere else !!! I’ll miss my wonderfulConversations and excellent care ! A great group !!!! God bless !“

“Owner of this amazing female-owned Pilates studio, Hayley S. is - in a word - masterful. The depth and breadth of her knowledge, the execution of her expertise, and her attention to each client’s individual needs is unmatched. I specifically sought her out knowing she would be the one to address my core instability after three children while also implementing a plan to relieve my low back pain; the result of many years of scoliosis. Thanks to Hayley, I am gaining the body I want, while maintaining the body I’ve been given. She has grown this small business and created a culture of instructors who embody the ethos that is I•D Pilates.“

“As a newb to Pilates I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Brookelyn is so knowledgeable and amazing to work with. The studio space is incredible. I can’t say enough about the session.“

“I have been taking pilates classes for about 7 years now and have gone to various places and seen many different talented teachers. I was looking for a studio near me in the Tonawanda area that had one on one sessions for reformer work. I was so excited to find El Sol only a few minutes away from me. I began with Anne in January of 2020 and from the very start she was so professional. She really knows how to make use of every minute of the time you have with her and her experience and knowledge of the body really translates to amazing results Currently we are in the midst of stay home orders from Covid-19 and Anne has found a way to continue to help with zoom sessions. These sessions have not only changed my body while in quarantine, but have also helped me stay sharp and in good spirits physically and mentally. Im so happy I found this studio!! Thank you Anne!“

“Nancy is a fantastic instructor with great attention to detail! Her experience and passion shines in all that she does! If you are looking for a place to learn, feel more in touch with your body and build strength for the demands of life this is the place for you.“

“After a surgical consult for a spinal fusion and in intense pain, my surgeon requested I see Rick first prior to surgery. Rolling my eyes and to assure I tried EVERYTHING I reluctantly went. Rick was incredible. He studied my MRI, completed a thorough assessment and after his first treatment, convinced me that perhaps I could wait on the surgery. I didn't want anyone manipulating me in any fashion-let alone be placed into his pilates spring loaded contraption. After the first treatment, I could walk and bend a little better....after months of treatment I was exercising and maintaining my pain levels. I still needed the surgery but he PROVED to me that there is more that can be done. I am a medical professional myself and a firm believer in Rick. If you are on the fence, RUN.....don't walk to explore the possibilities!“

“Kimmi understands the body on a deep level & her vast education and knowledge is apparent. I have been taking the Group Reformer Classes 1-2x a week, I have NEVER felt better! That says a lot after recovering from major pain from c3, c4 bulged discs. She is the absolute best. Update: after having my two year anniversary in March, I can say my two most important appointments of my week are with Kimmi! Thank you!!!! You are the best.“

“Northstar Pilates helped me get back to my physically demanding job. My back was injured and I went through physical Therapy, back shots from a pain management doctor and nothing helped. This was my last try at getting back to work. In approximately 5 months of working one on one with Shane I felt better than any other treatments and I was ready to go back to my job. When this was recommended to me I thought I pictured Being on a mat doing leg raises. No, this is on specialized machines doing a program that is geared towards your specific injury. Thank You Northstar for getting me back to work!“

“Wow, where do I begin. Ryan is a wonderful instructor, a miracle worker!! I never knew someone who has the compassion to teach like Ryan does. I’ve been going to Ryan for a very long time and every time is a new and wonderful experience! I have rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative disc disease in my lower back, a very painful combination. There are many times I can barely get out of my truck let alone walk, but when my session with Ryan ends I’m walking and in and out of my truck with no pain at all. My back issues will never go away but with Ryan by my side I know I can live a pain free life. Ryan is very knowledged with Pilates and strives to learn new routines that she shares with all us. I have the pleasure of having Ryan as my teacher but most of all as my friend. A very caring, compassionate person that I will always be grateful for having in my life!“

“We couldn't be happier at this studio! The teacher are so dedicated and wonderful with our daughters!“

“Went for my second class on Monday and I am so glad I found this studio! It’s super comfortable here and relaxed! Each person I’ve met so far is warm and welcoming and always checking on your needs during class! Classes are smaller which is great for a newbie like me! So happy to have found an amazing place to go to!“

“This studio offers a wide range of classes! It's a relaxing, fun and challenging atmosphere. They have a great restore stretching class to start out! If you think yoga is easy and just stretching think again and try sculpt and flow! You will get a great workout! All of the staff are friendly and helpful. If you are looking to try yoga as new experience or are a seasoned yogi I'm sure you will find this a great studio for your practice!“

“Love love LOVE this place. Came for my first Pilates class with Deborah and she was amazing. She made me feel right at home. I definitely recommend.

I will try my best to come often :)“
