I had just moved to Maui and my sister suggested that the two of us take a Pilates class together to see if we like it. We went to the 4 week introductory lessons and we both were hooked. Neither of us have ever been one's to exercise but Pilates seemed different. It feels like we're relaxing, while at the same time doing what is necessary to keep our bodies healthy, especially at 68 and 70 years old. Our instructor, Or, is fantastic. He is incredibly professional and patient. My sister and I both look forward each week to our Pilates lessons, and I know our bodies thank us everyday for taking the steps toward living a healthy lifestyle.
Also, in these time of Covid, I can tell you Maui Pilates feels like one of the safest environments I've experienced. Reformers are placed at least 8 feet apart. Upon entering you must hand sanitize, and the instructor takes your temperature. You are guided in how prepare your machine for your lesson and how to place full coverings over the entire area. After class, as a whole, you are instructed in the disinfecting of the reformer, so it is left completely sanitized and ready for the next group.

Read moreThis is hands down the BEST Pilates studio on Maui!! Yes, they have state-of-the-art equipment, ice-cold air conditioning, fashionable logo items for sale, and ocean and mountain views, but what really makes MPS stand out above the rest is the amazing PEOPLE there! Starting with the caring and conscientious fearless leader and instructor extraordinaire, Or, and his remarkable partner, Leon, to the wonderful and talented Kellie and Mailea, who put their hearts and souls into every single class they teach, and of course the friendly and supportive MPS ʻohana and visitors ... All of these magnificent human beings make Maui Pilates Studio "my happy place" -- and it can be yours too! I became a member three years ago and made a commitment to taking care of my physical, mental, and spiritual health with their help, and it was a decision I will never regret. Pilates is for anyone and everyone, no experience needed, only the willingness to be good to yourself. Start your journey today! Your future self will thank you for it, that...
Read moreThree weeks ago I asked a friend who she uses for Pilates. She told me about Or, who just opened a new studio, Maui Pilates Studio. I was invited to a Saturday afternoon intro to Pilates. The 3 classes, reformer, Matt, & spine corrector were introduced in short 20 minute classes. I loved it! I then decided to give it a try and purchased the intro package of 3 reformer classes. Well my body was liking the challenge! After that I was hooked. I then decided to join for 4 months twice per week. Today I decided to upgrade to the 12 months twice per week. I can see that this is a lifetime commitment. I love Or’s classes. Even in a group he gives each student individual attention. I’ve had herniated disc problems twice in my life and am very careful with my back. Or took this very serious. He has modified all my exercises to accommodate me. He has a way of instructing that makes it easy & fun! I feel taller every time I leave his class. That’s important...
