South Beach Pilates — Attraction in Miami Beach

When I moved from New York to Miami Beach, I was determined to continue my Pilates practice. Believe it or not: it is not easy to find a Pilates studio in Miami Beach that teaches classical Pilates -- no gimmicks, no "fusion" -- just classical Pilates. I am so glad I found SoBe Pilates. It is a friendly oasis of health and exercise, completely devoid of pretension. From day 1, Susie K. and Tina B., the co-owners, have welcomed me every day as though I were family. I feel as though they genuinely care about my personal development as a practitioner of Pilates. Lauren W., my senior personal instructor, is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and expert teacher. She is upbeat, and fun and wonderful to talk to while at the same time paying close attention to my form. She takes out the intimidation factor and makes me feel like I can do any Pilates sequence, no matter how daunting it may seem. I'm at the studio 3 times a week, and walking in every morning feels like walking in to family living room. To top it all off, Jelena, who is both a Pilates instructor and the front desk manager, is one of the most customer-oriented individuals I have ever encountered.

But my experience at Sobe has been so much better than that. Susie and Tina are genuinely warm and friendly. The studio relfects that enormously. They started with a detailed consultation and crafted a program that focussed on my real needs and goals. I have been to Studios in many cities and countries and I have never had someone as expert and thorough as they were. I also love the combination of Pilates and Assisted Stretching. The stretching improves my performance during my one-on-one class and helps me recover more quickly afterwards. I cannot recommend the...

I have been attending sessions at Sobe Pilates since late June 2016. This was after no years of any form of consistent exercise. I found the Pilates approach to be challenging, easy on my joints while also keeping my interest so that I do not abandon my exercise program due to boredom. The sessions are never boring!! The atmosphere is welcoming no matter your age or fitness level or gender. Whether you want private sessions, duet or group..the instructors insure each person is doing the exercise correctly to get the maximum return. Nice bright clean studio, run professionally. ...
