Pilates Eagle Rock

I received a series of classes as a gift and have continued on my own dime, The sessions are challenging, but doable even for someone who is new to Pilates. The teacher really makes sure everyone is doing the movements correctly. The atmosphere is calm and friendly. Having The Taco Spot next door is a plus as well!

Came here for a private session w/​Teresa & she was absolutely lovely.
She hit all the right dings a pilates instructor is suppose to hit:
— informative
— constant adjustments
— personable
— encouraging
I am definitely coming back for privates/​semi-​privates.

Love mat class with Jen. She has the most soothing voice, I wish I could record her and listen to her when going to sleep. Ok that came out creepy, but its true, pilates ends up being somehow hard and relaxing with Jen, and I love going after work or Sat morning. There is a lot of attention to form, something which is missing at a lot of the more fast paced reformer or barre classes. Jen goes around and corrects everyone, and I always discover muscles I didn’t know I had. They have added a few parking spots in the back and there is always street parking in the neighborhoods.
They have packages, I think currently its 10 classes for $ 125 which expires in a year. Totally affordable!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE instructors at ER Pilates… They are professional and patient… They made me feel like no pose is impossible. Pilates has changes my life…

I went to my first workout class ever here! It was great and I felt the perfect amount of sore the next day– like I knew it was working me but not so hard that I was walking around miserable. Easy parking and nice staff! I can’t wait to try pilates!

This is my first pilates experience and from what people tell me, this is the best place on the Eastside. I’ve been doing privates with Jen and she thoroughly kicks my butt. Never in my life have I worked my muscles the way I do in pilates and it never even occurred to me to use my body in this way. It’s going to take a lot of re-​education but I feel the challenge is totally worth it. Just throwing yourself into a group pilates class at a local gym isn’t a good idea if you haven’t done it before. A firm foundation of body mechanics needs to be established and this is the place to do it.
Also the space has a great vibe and the staff is very friendly.

I’ve been coming to Pilates Eagle Rock for two years. I was a pilates novice and a yoga refugee. Having injured myself *badly* in Yoga I was looking for something with more form and structure. Pilates offers exactly that. Pilates Eagle Rock has an amazing consistency instructor to instructor. Every instructor has a dance background and many are currently working as dancers. They are all really excellent instructors — patient, focused, engaged and experienced. The owners hire for a sort of uniformity of teaching style and I have tried at least half a dozen instructors and each was excellent in her own way. There’s just something about this studio that feels really good — the vibe I guess you would say.
Place is clean, quiet, unpretentious, friendly and focused on giving you an informed and effective workout. Their prices are also very reasonable. I see a lot of regulars and a lot of people who are struggling to find their «center line». All levels are comfortable here.
In the time I’ve been going, I’ve learned to connect into my body from the inside and have just about fixed the problems with my posture that were causing me to repeatedly injure myself. I’ve also been building those long lean dancer lines that make you stand with more assurance (And yes, my @$$ looks pretty awesome). Most importantly, I got strong and confident enough to try another sport so I’ve taken up boxing. Turns out that Joseph Pilates, the inventor, was a boxer — all you pilates people should try it out — it makes everything you learn in Pilates come together at once.

I love this place! i have been going twice a week for the last 6 months and every session is amazing. All the instructors are super knowledgable and kind to boot. They are patient yet challenging and all around awesome. I would recommend this place to everyone!

So, in the past few years I’ve been on this kick where I want to try/​learn a new sport (or something physical) each year. So, this year it was pilates.
Now I’ve done pilates at 24hr fitness and hated it after 10 minutes, but I thought to myself «I really want to use those cool machines (aka reformers), and I’m stressed out, why not give this a try». So, I set off trying to find a good/​inexpensive pilates place.
Hence how I came across Eagle Rock pilates. My first session was a semi-​private with my friend. We had tons of fun, the instructor was great and I was SO surprised that with these little movements I was sweating!
My friend decided that she liked punching things more when she works out, so back to kick boxing she went. But I realized that I liked the calming effect that pilates had on me… and the fact that I could feel muscles I didn’t know really existed before.
I now go once a week (can’t afford to go more than that… even though I’d love to go 2 – 3 times a week). It is a nice little work out, has made me more aware of my posture, spine, hip alignment, and I always leave there feeling good and centered.
I highly recommend this place. ALL the instuctors have been great and they never make me feel bad when I’m shaking while working out my core. You should all definitely check out this place!

This place is great. I’ve taken the mat classes and privates and Jenn is the best. I had never done Pilates before trying this place out (I have tried other places since), and the owner Jennifer and her staff were super friendly and welcoming. The place is always clean and the staff is knowledgeable and easy going. If anyone is looking to try something new, or just need a GOOD pilates studio, you need to try this place. You’ll be very happy you did.

I have been going to Pilates Eagle Rock since September, 2007. At first I thought it would be just for a few months while my personal trainer was on vacation, but I never looked back. I had been doing weight training and cardio for many years, but when I discovered Pilates at this studio, I found what I had been looking for, the way to a strong yet supple physique.
The instructors are very knowledgeable, patient, and terrific at cueing you to achieve the correct position to get the most benefit from an exercise.
During the last two years I have learned how to experience and control my body, have developed awesome abdominal strength, and complete strength and flexibility. Ladies my age are often concerned with balance, and that has vastly improved as well. The benefits are strength, stability, flexibility, and the ability to feel and guide your body through the movements.
The classes have a great mix of people of all ages and we definitely get our money’s worth, judging by the chorus of moans and groans from people learning to challenge their bodies in a quiet yet difficult manner.
The mat classes are very reasonable, as are the private sessions, if you buy a package. I also discovered Gyrotonics here. Can’t say enough about how great it is to train here!

I’ve been meaning to try this studio out for several reasons:
#1 It is super close to my house #2 Every time I call to make inquires they are informative and somehow communicate a caring tone #3 Bike racks right in front #4 solid Unilocal views
Last night (Monday night) I took Jennifer’s Mat class and it was in my top 2 of best ever classes (I’ve taken many classes including a run @ Tracy Anderson’s Studio) Excellent instructor! There was 11 participants and she was great at making sure everyone was in good form, neutral position and had a great workout within 60 minutes.
Studio is larger than it appears, is clean and well organized.
Highly recommended to anyone interested in pilates.

I go here for mat pilates classes. The classes are great and I feel rejuvenated after every one. The cost if you buy 20 lots is reasonable. Jennifer and Chloe are exceptionally gifted instructors.
Highly recommended.

I live like around the corner and have never gone until today. I’ve done Pilates before but man the sat morning Pilates mat class kicked my butt. It was really hard. But still fun. The instructor worked with me a lot so I felt like I almost had my own private session. Nice clean atmosphere. The Pilate mat class is in the back of the building so it sort of feels like a cave. But other than that, it was great.

I like this place. The instructors and staff are very nice and friendly.
The classes are usually about 15 – 20 ppl on Satudays.
the instructors are detailed and helpful in the classes.
You might need to get in a couple of minutes early for find parking.

on time: yes
décor: clean & nice (you wipe down your own equipment when your done)
parking: on street & lot in back
satisfied with instruction: yes, very knowledgeable
price: pretty good intro private price.
will return? yes

I love this place! The trainers are all very knowledgeable and personable! They explain things in easy to understand ways and have taught me many things about my body. I have never stuck to any sort of exercise régime before, but this place has definitely taught me to love pilates! There are private and semiprivate lessons as well as mat classes available. Highly recommended!
