EveryBody Movement and Wellness — Local services in Philadelphia

EveryBody Movement and Wellness is a fantastic studio. I have been taking pilates classes here for several months and have been delighted with my experience. I had no prior experience with pilates but it quickly became a significant part of my life.

I have taken pilates classes with Gabi, Kalila, and Megan. They are all wonderful and bring their own unique vibes to their classes. They are knowledgeable about body mechanics and modifications for different injuries or body types, and provide tips on how to adjust the challenge level of an exercise. From what I have observed they are also truly welcoming to different body types, genders, etc. and the studio is a nonjudgmental space where it's easy to focus on doing the work. Class sizes are also small (especially equipment classes) so you can get personal attention if needed.

If you want a gentler, chiller workout (especially if you, like me, had bad gym class experiences, or if you have injuries or other restrictions to work around) that is still challenging and gets results I highly recommend taking classes here. My body looks better, but more importantly, I feel like I can move and function in ways previously unknown to me. I also have a lot more awareness of my body and how it's feeling. Pilates has been a very positive addition to my life and I am thankful to Julia and the instructors at EveryBody. If you're on the fence about trying it,...

I've been taking private pilates classes with Julia at EveryBody Movement and Wellness since 2021. After years of struggling with back pain and joint issues related to hyper-mobility I have almost no pain, and I'm much stronger and able to resolve flare ups with exercises I've learned in pilates. Julia is very skilled at working with people who struggle with injuries and pain, and she tailors each session to meet my needs in the moment. If I arrive at class with any joint pain I leave having addressed the issues, and usually feel so much better. Julia provides a mix of workouts using the reformer, springboard, and other props and equipment. She's taught me many exercises that I can practice at home in between sessions. I really enjoy working with Julia, and appreciate the individualized approach to pilates. She's a fantastic teacher, & connects well with her clients. It's a pleasure to work with a teacher who loves her work, and cares so much about her clients and community. The other teachers are friendly, and the studio environment is very welcoming. The studio is beautiful, clean, and a lot of high...

I highly recommend this wonderful, beautiful studio and the smart and talented people who work here. I will be 80 years old in a couple of years, and I have had my share of aches and injuries during my life. I have had excellent physical therapy and fitness coaches in the past, but I rate my pilates work with Julia at EveryBody Movement and Wellness over the past three years as tops for my current needs. Julia is a great teacher and listener, and she has helped me understand the way that our muscles support our bones. At every session, we explore what is going on with my body, and she tailors the session to address these issues. I always feel stronger after each class, and I have made great progress in the wake of some difficult pain and injuries. Of course I have had doctors and medical treatment, but my work with Julia has made a huge difference. Pilates is not about stretching, but about building a strong foundation to hold up our bodies so they can move...
