I have studied Pilates at Sanchez Studios for over a decade. Carol LeMaitre, the head-trainer and owner, has assembled a group of truly excellent teachers who are able to meet students where they are, whether beginners or advanced. In the past year or so I have been working with Carol in her excellent online classes and with Karin and Jackson in the studio springboard classes. After having a hiatus because of foot surgery, I can see the difference regular classes make in my flexibiliy and relief from arthritis pain. As an older person, staying erect without stooping is critical. The Pilates work strengthens muscles and reinforces body memory. Of the half dozen Pilates studios and teachers I have worked with over the past 20 + years, Sanchez offers the best teachers and schedule.

I can't tell you enough how amazing Danielle and the team are at Sanchez Street Studios! As a plus size woman I'm always nervous about exercising in a public setting but I'm so comfortable here and there is so much support and celebration of each gain. Thank you for everything you all do to help me in my Pilates practice journey!

I’ve been taking group classes here for 3 months postpartum, and I love it! As a total Pilates beginner, I’ve learned so much thanks to the amazing instructors – they’re attentive, knowledgeable, and make every class fun. I appreciate that I can make each exercise easier or more challenging, so every class feels just right. I already feel stronger and can’t wait to keep going!

I’ve been going to Sanchez St Studios since February 2019. I liked the vibe of the studio from the first time I walked in. Carol is very welcoming and a really great teacher for everyone, from beginners to experts. And private lessons with Jackson have made such a difference for me. But I have really come to love the Studio during this pandemic. Classes went virtual and I now get to take virtual classes with all the teachers. I now wake up especially for early mornings with the amazing Andrea. I learned a ton from Nadia and Quilet who really go deep on their practice. And Aaron always makes me feel like a dancer. A wonderful part of my life! I am stronger and better aligned and better prepared for other exercising. Thanks.

Ryan is an excellent instructor. Having never experienced Pilates before, he made it accessible and enjoyable. Everyone I encountered at the studio was helpful and friendly.I plan to return to Sanchez Street Studios very soon.
