I absolutely love this Pilates studio. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how clean and well-maintained everything is. The space is spotless, organized, and just feels fresh which makes such a difference when you’re working out. The atmosphere is incredibly calm and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can truly focus, breathe, and reset. Brenda, Lily, and Melody are my go to instructors. They each bring their own unique energy, but all three know exactly how to push you in the best way. If you’re looking for a solid pump, they will deliver every time. Their cueing is clear, they pay attention to form, and they make you feel supported while still challenging you. The vibe overall is motivating but never intimidating. Whether you’re new to Pilates or more advanced, you’ll feel comfortable and encouraged. I always leave feeling stronger, refreshed, and accomplished. Highly recommend this studio if you’re looking for a clean, calming environment with instructors who truly know what they’re doing.

I’ve always been a weight lifter/hybrid athlete and over the course of time and due to the nature of my work, I was feeling tight in my lower back and hip area. Overall, I felt unbalanced. I sought out Pilates in hopes of releasing the tension I had in my hips and lower back. I fell in love with Pilates and the benefits of the practice through Brenda. She was one of the first Pilates instructors I had so it was a no brainer when she opened her own studio that I would follow her! There is not one class I had ever regretted taking under her instruction. Consistent Pilates practice has overall made me feel stronger when I run (core) and more mindful of my body whenever I move it. If you are looking for a challenge or practice that enables positive changes in your body, look no further. Take one of Brenda’s classes, you will not regret it, I PROMISE! VIVA is a clean, modern studio that provides a calming space where you can relax!!! Take a load off and focus on your practice.

I had been wanting to try Pilates for a long time, but it seemed so intimidating with the machine/reformer that they use during these classes. I saw a new member deal at this place and I thought I would give it a try, and I am so glad that I did! My first class was with Brenda, who is the owner, she is a local mom who started her studio out of a passion for Pilates! My experience was so welcoming and the studio is so clean. Brenda did an amazing job teaching a newbie how to get familiar with the reformer and also with the Pilates lingo. If you're new to Pilates or even experienced, I would definitely recommend coming here at least once!
