⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Dream Team at Dr. Pilates!

From the moment I walked into Dr. Pilates, I knew I was in good hands largely thanks to the incredible duo of Andrew and Shaakira.

Andrew, the instructor, is truly world-class. His energy is contagious, his cues are spot-on, and his attention to form and detail is unmatched. He somehow makes every class feel personalized, challenging, and empowering all at once. Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or a seasoned pro, Andrew knows exactly how to push you while making you feel supported the entire time. Every session with him feels like a masterclass in movement.

And then there’s Shaakira, the heartbeat of the front desk. Warm, welcoming, and incredibly organized, she sets the tone for the entire studio the moment you walk in. Her friendly smile, calm professionalism, and genuine care for each client create an environment that feels more like a wellness sanctuary than a fitness studio. She remembers names, preferences, and always goes the extra mile to make your experience smooth and enjoyable.

Together, Andrew and Shaakira are an unbeatable team that elevates the Dr. Pilates experience to a whole new level. Can’t recommend them...

I'm a regular attendee of DR Pilates, and after having tried Beyond, West Coast and Club Pilates, this trendy boutique studio is my fave. I initially started over a year ago, following my favorite pilates instructor Brenda. I've gotten to know almost every instructor, including Doug, and I absolutely love the youthful and vibrant vibe they continue to bring to every session! My classmates are a diverse pool of friendly people, no one has an attitude and there's truly something for everyone. I've watched my body transform, all while working through a chronic shoulder injury. On Valentine's Day they left roses on every reformer, it's the details for me. They also have an amazing Black Friday sale! I've brought several of my girlfriends here and they all loved the experience. Cece and Andrew are two of my other favorite instructors, challenging and always willing to provide modifications. The fact that they work hard to make you feel comfortable makes this such a warm and welcoming space....

Took a class for beginners. If it’s your first time and/or you just starting reformer pilates please please please DO NOT COME TO THIS STUDIO!!! It’s really easy to get an injury or hurt yourself when you just starting so you need an experienced and attentive instructor. Ours was nothing like this! She didn’t show AT ALL how to do exercises, didn’t give clear directions, didn’t check on anyone’s form. It was 5 of us in the class and we just looked at each other being completely confused of what’s going on and what should we do. The instructor didn’t even check if we doing exercises correctly, she was just standing at the same spot all class long looking at the blank wall. Like for real?? Get on the reformer, lady, and show us what to do! The only reason I didn’t fall asleep in this class was because of my high frustration. To sum up, guys, do yourself a favor and go to another studio unless you’re very experienced and want your instructor to be...
