West Seattle Pilates and Fitness — Local services in Seattle

This wonderful little studio has been life altering! All the little feel good signs on the walls truly represent the cozy atmosphere where everyone is welcome. The instructors are so very kind, open and inclusive. They each have different styles, background and expertise, which I love because the clients receive the benefit of a great variety of classes. Each time I go in, I feel like I do or learn something new (and I’ve been going for almost a year!)

My journey started after a year of physical therapy for my various aches and pains. My PT recommended I contact Jenny (studio owner extraordinaire) and work on building strength. Being overweight and not athletically inclined my entire life, I very reluctantly took this step in a desperate attempt to better my physical health. I did not really know or understand anything about Pilates and was rather intimidated and anxious. Little did I know that I would find my “home” here, in improving my physical health but also my mental and emotional health and bonus: build genuine friendships with like-minded people.

Jenny paired me with the absolute best 1:1 instructor for private lessons to start my intro to Pilates. Ellie listened to my needs and designed each session focused on my goals and made modifications as we realized my limitations. Even when I didn’t know what I wanted or needed, I relied on her expertise and she consistently knew exactly the right thing. I left every single session feeling encouraged and accomplished. Through her instruction and encouragement, my confidence grew and I began taking classes.

The classes are small (maximum of 5 students) and allow the instructors to work closely with each individual, helping with form and offering tips to get more out of each exercise, or modifying for individual needs. Classes range from beginner to intermediate and advanced, and include reformer as well as tower & mat. Even within each level, instructors often offer progressions and modifications so that each individual can choose to do what’s best for them and their body on any given day.

I just can not believe I have found this joyful, kind, inclusive and open to all abilities studio. In the course of the last year, I have gone from once a week to 2-3x a week and now attend 5-6x a week. I am far stronger and happier and have gained tremendous confidence.

I am certain my experience would not have been remotely the same at a different studio. There is a sense of belonging here. Doing Pilates at this studio has become a feel good obsession. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Jenny, Ellie, Susan, Melanie, Becca, Jordana and team have created a hidden gem of a Pilates studio here in...

I have not exercised regularly in perhaps 30 years. I’ve gone through periods of time of being an avid walker, and I did enjoy yoga for a while, but exercise is 100% not my thing, and I will go so far as to say, I’ve spent my entire adult life hating it.

Several close friends had recommended I give Pilates a try, and a friend in Colorado suggested Club Pilates. At the time, the closest one was about 8 miles away, and there was no way that was going to happen. Then, in January, Club Pilates opened in West Seattle, so I gave it a try. To say that I am obsessed would be a gross understatement. Since joining, I have been to Pilates many more days than I have not. And I have fallen in love. The owner, Tina, has created a beautiful and supportive environment. From the welcoming staff when you walk in the door to the incredibly talented and well trained instructors, this feels like a community where it is safe to learn and to grow. The other patrons have been equally lovely, supportive, and encouraging.

To say that I was anxious and nervous to begin this In no way can sum up the terror, fear, and body shame, that I have felt for most of my adult life. I was dreading it, but also recognize the importance of becoming more fit and healthy In my 50s, The fact that just over a month in, I am in love with this exercise, feel better about my body, and know that I am getting stronger every day, feels like a miracle. My joints feel better, and the discomfort that I had been experiencing in my body for the last 10 years has almost completely gone away. I, and everyone who knows me well, am shocked by my mental and emotional transformation around exercise. I feel incredibly grateful and excited about every workout every day. It’s been life-changing and I’m so very pleased that I gave it a shot. Everyone should. If a devoted, anti-exerciser, like me can fall in love with reformer Pilates at the West Seattle, Club Pilates, so can you. Join us!...
