Twist Pilates and Fitness — Local services in Washington

I have been meaning to write this review for a few weeks. I took my first class at Twist in January after having a truly terrible day at work and I knew I needed a lift. Google maps brought me to the wrong location and 5 minutes before the class started I still wasn’t there and was panicking. Would I make it in time? What if they don’t let me in? I called their number and a man picked up (I assume this was the owner.) and he politely listened to my predicament, guided me to their correct location and said he would call the teacher of the class as he was not on site at the time. He made no promises that I could be let in and take the class because of timing (which is very understandable) but made every effort to try to get me there and was very kind in a stressful moment for me. I made it to the doors of the studio and my instructor Kendall greeted me and assured me everything would be okay. Her kindness and warmth put me at ease and I was able to get a great workout and class that really lifted my spirits on a tough day. The other attendees of the class and people in the lobby were also very kind and friendly which I think also speaks to the environment and community that Twist is building. I don’t often write reviews but I wanted to make sure to highlight the efforts of the staff at this studio as they were exemplary in their professionalism and care in a challenging moment for me. The owner of this studio should be very proud of the environment he is creating for people to engage in Pilates and I have been talking up their studio and Kendall’s class for weeks because of my experience! Thank you again. Wishing you all the best with your business and I...

Twist Pilates is the real deal. I found Twist on Google maps when looking for a reformer pilates studio; not the "pilates inspired" strength training type reformer classes that are popular now, but real, Joseph Pilates type pilates on a reformer. I fell in love during the two week trial. The classes are small--5 people max, which means personalized attention. The space is sunny and serene. Sometimes there is music playing softly, sometimes not. Knowledgeable, friendly, and well-trained instructors. A surprisingly good workout that left me feeling happy and energized. Overall this studio is a welcome respite from the stresses of the city. I would go everyday if I could and only wish I could afford the monthly membership options!! Will look into purchasing packages so that I can keep Twist in my life. :) Overall I...

After moving to DC and feeling disappointed with the impersonal experience at Club Pilates, I was searching for that authentic boutique studio feel I was missing. Twist is amazing- there's such a warm and inviting atmosphere in the studio. The teachers here are all exceptional. What really sets Twist apart is how incredibly thoughtful and well-flowing their classes are. You can tell each class is carefully planned and structured to build seamlessly from one movement to the next. I have to give special recognition to Kendall and Naomi - both are amazing instructors and bring such positive energy to their classes. After feeling like I'd lost my pilates groove, Twist has helped me get back into the swing of things!...
