I walked into the studio not knowing what to expect, but I had heard that Pilates was great for building core strength and I had tried mat pilates at a club that used to be open nearby. Still, the reformer seemed like a whole other thing with springs and ropes and overhead bars with fuzzy padding. So when I got through the door of Dominic's Ultimate Pilates Studio - I was kinda wondering if it would be some medieval (aka: painful) workout. The greeting was immediately warm - both from the studio manager and the instructor. There were 2 other newbies and we were both placed at the front of the room so the instructor could keep an eye on us and our eyes on her. Throughout the session, at times easy at other times hard, the atmosphere was positive, professional, and easy to understand. The instructor did not seem to mind repeating instructions (you want us to put our leg where?) and noticed when the tension was too much and she helped with bumping down the resistance. The session was great. I am giving 4 stars because I had to go through the internet, multiple calls and messages, showing up at the studio to see if I could book a session. It has been over a week that I have been waiting to see if the studio still has a contract with the health company my employer contracts with. So they are not easy to reach or sign up with.

Read moreDominic's Ultimate Pilates Studio totally changed my body! I discovered Dominic's Studio about six months before my wedding, and I'm so glad I did - adding his classes to my regime of lifting weights allowed me to get a longer, leaner appearance and sculpt my body exactly how I hoped I'd look in my wedding dress! It's been more than two years since then, and I still love my two to three mornings a week at the studio. No matter your skill level, Dominic and his team will guide you through the exercises that are right for you and help you achieve your goals. There are clients in their teens and others in their 70s+, true athletes and others with significant mobility issues. Dominic and his team do a fantastic job of giving individual attention to every client, even when in a group setting. Even group classes feel more like a personal training session based on the attention you receive, and yet it's a fraction of the price of other studios or health clubs. (On top of my own testimonial - My mother in law swears that her sessions with Dominic have nearly cured her from her lower back pain, something that has plagued her for years and otherwise required all sorts of injections and medications.) Check out Dominic's Ultimate Pilates Studio and see for yourself - I promise you that you'll leave feeling so...
Read moreWorth every penny! As a yoga instructor of 5 years I know a brilliant teacher when I meet one, I have been wanting to transition to pilates for some time now, after some searching I can confidently say I FOUND THE STUDIO! Just one class with Dominic and I was blown away, he is so intelligent and gifted in his craft. The body awareness is amazing, somehow in a foundations class of about 7 I felt like I was getting a private the whole time. I also got to see a little bit of the group class and I am so eager to join, gluts, Arms, Abs, you can tell it was all getting worked! Looking forward to becoming part of this...
