Hess Pilates

Today marked my 25th class at Hess Pilates and I want to share my experience! The manager, instructors, and studio itself are wonderful. The studio is very chic and modern and gives a great feeling as soon as you step in! Always smells nice, fresh, and all interactions have been very pleasant and welcoming. Instructors are very professional and teach with care. If you live in downtown I highly recommend this studio.

Stunning environment and even better class! I loved my session with Yu because her cues were incredible and it was the perfect balance between challenging/restorative. Shower rooms are also gorgeous & super clean. So so glad I found this studio, will definitely be back to Hess!

The most beautiful Pilates studio! I had a great class with Joy. She was so sweet and helpful given that I’m pregnant. I feel toned and tightened and grateful.

Hey there! I’m totally obsessed with Hess Pilates now. After a little break from Pilates, I’ve rediscovered my passion for it all thanks to the incredible instructors at Hess Pilates. In my last review, I raved about the stunning studio, and this time, I’m excited to share my top three favorite teachers with you, in no particular order. 1. Beatriz: Beatriz is an absolute gem for beginners and intermediate students. Every class with her is a thrilling adventure! My favorite class is cardio Pilates - it’s like floating in the air, like a ballerina. Beatriz is fantastic at modifying workouts based on your personal strength. She’s hands-on, has an amazing playlist, and always keeps the class super fun and I get a great workout every time. 2. Marilyn: Marilyn’s class is a real challenge for intermediate and advanced students. She’s the most intense for me because her class focuses on core strengthening while still getting a full-body workout. If you’re looking for a sweat-inducing challenge or if you’re not feeling your core, I highly recommend Marilyn’s class. She’s got great instructions on form and offers hands-on assistance to make sure you’re maximizing the workout. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my abs, and each class I attend, I can tell my form and technique are getting better. 3. Alexandra: Alexandra’s classes are a must-try for intermediate and advanced students. She’s definitely one of the more challenging teachers, and I always get a full-body workout with her. She introduces techniques I’ve never done before, and her dancer background really shines through in her workouts. I feel the burn in my legs and glutes the most! Her class is always fun, challenging, and she uses all the machines I love. All three of these teachers are truly amazing instructors. They’re all super friendly, educate you on proper form and breathing, and leave you feeling like you’ve worked out hard. I always leave their classes feeling refreshed and energized!

This studio is absolutely stunning! I took a class with Helayna, who was so kind and helpful throughout. The workout was challenging yet gentle, which is exactly what I love about pilates. Olivia Dean played the whole time and gave the class such a soothing vibe that made the experience even better.
