I’m so excited to have another Pilates studio in the Arts District! Lex’s classes are truly next-level - challenging, dynamic, and thoughtfully programmed. The intensity is perfectly balanced: tough in all the right ways without ever feeling repetitive. I’ve been coming almost every day for the past few weeks and still look forward to each class! I love the variety she offers, from Mat Pilates (which seriously kicks my ass every time) to jump board classes that keep things fun and engaging while still delivering a killer workout. Every session feels fresh and purposeful. I’m also really excited to try her stretch classes — especially since I’m terrible about stretching on my own. This studio has quickly become a go-to for me, and I can’t recommend it enough. I purchased the unlimited membership and love that you can take multiple classes a day with it! Also bonus points for just the most aesthetic studio ever! So clean with a shower too if you need it :)

First off, what a cool space! I felt like I was in a hip, artists studio! Every square inch is decorated amazingly and is such a vibe! Once class started though I forgot how cute it was and all my focus was on how hard my muscles were working. And lots of little muscles I didn’t even know I had! Lex, the instructor and owner put me through one heck of a workout! It was incredible!!! She worked so many of my small accessory muscles that I never manage to normally work, in addition to all the big muscles too of course. By the end of class my legs were shaking (although she offered modifications so I could have gone easier on myself). Such a great fully body workout! She targets all the areas I (and many women I think) like to strengthen. I came out of class feeling sore but invigorated. I will definitely be back!!!

In a time where there is no shortage of group reformer class options, Bodyshop is such a breath of fresh air. Lex is my definition of a perfect blend of classical and contemporary. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about the body, the movement, providing hands on adjustments throughout class for every student; most importantly she is so kind to everyone walking through the studio doors. Nothing flashy or pretentious here, just a solid Pilates class with a tasteful modern twist on foundational movements. Can’t wait to keep coming back!

This Pilates studio is next level and unlike any other I’ve been to. The space is full of color and energy, not the sterile vibe you find at most studios. The music is amazing and actually makes you excited to move! it definitely sets the tone for the entire class. Lex is an incredible instructor: super knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely hands on in the best way. She pays close attention to form, gives personalized adjustments, and makes sure you’re getting the most out of every movement. You feel challenged, supported, and energized all at once. This studio feels fun, intentional, and welcoming :) I can’t recommend it enough!

Wow!! I’m a Pilates snob and I took Rachel’s class and was seriously blown away. She was attentive and challenging in the best way. The studio is really clean and inviting and Rachel played GOOD MUSIC. Exactly what I needed for this Sunday. ⭐️☀️Love the vibe so much. Will be back nonstop
