Pilates Powerhouse Studio

I have been doing Pilates since 2001 to recover from back surgery and have been to numerous Pilates studios and instructors both in DC area and NYC. Trust me when I tell you-​Denise is the best there is. I have been going to her since 2006, after trying several places in the DC area and not finding a quality instructor. One session with her and I knew I had found it. She is tough, she is patient and she cares about her clients. I have never had another instructor motivate me like she does. You will see a difference in your posture almost immediately and your core soon thereafter. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Powerhouse Pilates is an awesome studio with authentic equipment! Deniz is a great Pilates instructor trained by Romana herself. For all of you Pilates aficionados, Deniz is the real deal. She will get you into shape and having you standing with a perfect posture with dedication and hard work. It has been three years and I would not try another exercise régime.

The workout of Hollywood is right in your backyard.
If you want to get in shape, this lady blasts inches off your body within a few months of diligent sessions. Trust me! Denise is tough love — she works you like she’s a drill sergeant, but loves you like she’s your family. She really cares about her clients and you will be hooked like the rest of us after session 1!
The «pilates» classes at your regular gym are most likely not authentically trained, seeing as the real process take about a year or two of dedicated training. Going to an unofficial pilates (those not from the school of Joseph Pilates) class can cause back problems and injuries. Pilates Powerhouse is authentic and well worth the money! Think of it as paying for a personal trainer at your regular gym — -except this is all about «strengthening and lengthening,» so you’ll look lean and trim.
Give it a try!

Best Pilates studio in the area!
First – chances are, if you think you do Pilates, you don’t. The term can legally be used and applied to any floor mat or exercise ball being sold these days, so it is difficult to identify what is truly «authentic Pilates.»
Truth is, Pilates is a fitness program developed by some dude named Joe Pilates who decided ladies didn’t like big arms – they were all about the core. Or something like that.
Anyway, Denise at Pilates Powerhouse trained under Joe Pilates’ protégé and teaches the authentic method of Pilates. I was initially skeptical, seeing as it all seems much different than the «weight-​lifting» everyone seems to associate with being healthy, but I’ll be darned if it’s not effective. My posture is already improving as well. I’m beginning to understand why Pilates is growing in popularity and other more superficial systems of exercise are seeming more antiquated.
If you’re interested in a truly healthy exercise program, definitely give Pilates Powerhouse a call and schedule an appointment. Then you too can laugh at people who say «I bought a Pilates mat…»!
