Fitlab Pilates

Fantastic experience: Love the staff & studio! Classes are always fun and new and just the right amount of challenging. Kate and Cilla have so much knowledge and passion for anatomy and it shows in their classes!

Fantastic experience: Always such a clean and welcoming space with amazing, well educated instructors. The best!

Fantastic experience: I came to Fitlab after several years of mat Pilates in groups, and the instructors have taken things to a whole other level. Privates have kept me strong and flexible through injuries and crazy times at work, and I can’t say enough about the knowledge base, creativity, and friendliness of the instructors. This place is the best!

Fantastic experience: FitLAB Pilates is wonderful! Through Covid and many injuries in my part they have treated me like an individual deserving of attention and safety. I have worked with mostly Kate for a couple of years and she is such a huge help for my aging and badly injured body. Either zooming, in pre made videos or in person, fitlab has navigated the last few difficult years with the clients physical and mental health in mind. I am so grateful and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Kate is THE best. As an out of shape guy who never made time for exercise, she took a look at my fitness goals and tailored a routine that was challenging yet manageable so that I could make it just that, a routine. She never failed to follow-up, check-in, answer questions or provide support when I struggled. As a beginner, I could not have found a better person to put me on the right path.

Fantastic experience: Kate is such an incredible instructor! The whole team is phenomenal, definitely go check them out!!!

Fantastic experience: I have only positive things to say about this studio. My whole life, I have never been able to keep to a regular workout routine - until now! I come to fitlabs 3x / week and the prices are extremely reasonable. I finally look forward to exercising. You can't go wrong with any of the instructors. Cilla, Erin, and Kate are all knowledgeable, inclusive of all skill levels, and really seem to love what they do. Diane, the owner, is responsive and communicative. The studio itself has managed covid restrictions extremely well. The studio and equipment are clean and well-maintained. And the clientele is respectful of mask usage, hand washing, and equipment wipe down. I whole-heartedly recommend you give Fitlabs a try. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The instructors are all amazing and so is Diane, the owner. Fitlab is a welcoming and healthy environment to get stronger, healthier and happier!

Fantastic experience: If you are at all interested in pilates, I could not recommend Fitlab Pilates more highly! I attended two classes a week at Fitlab for over a year before moving to Western Massachusetts. I am not exaggerating when I say that Fitlab classes are one of the things I miss the most about Cambridge/Boston. I could probably write a dissertation on why this studio is exceptional, but I'll do my best to stick to the highlights. First, the atmosphere of the classes is pretty unique. They focus on building strength rather than burning calories. I don't think I heard any reference to losing weight even once during my time in the studio. This is reflected in the clientele; people of all genders, sizes, and ages attend the classes regularly. They also do not play music. While many people like listening to music as they work out, I found that the lack of music allowed the instructors to focus on helping me do the exercises correctly and on getting to know me as a person. Again, not for everyone, but was definitely refreshing and helpful for me. Second, the instructors at Fitlab are the most knowledgable and attentive fitness instructors I've ever experienced. (And I've gone to a lot of different classes! Spin, yoga, 305 Fitness, Zumba, personal training -- if it was "in" at some point in the last 5 years, I've probably tried it.) Cilla and Amanda have different styles, but they are both excellent at giving very specific and thorough instructions for every aspect of the class. Reformer pilates can be intricate, so their detailed instruction is critical to the success of their classes. They are also both excellent at finding multiple ways to explain the same move. Amanda taught most of the classes I attended and she did a great job of repeating exercises that built strength and mixing up the routines so that I never got bored. (Honestly, twice a week for over a year and I never got bored!) Diane (the owner) had just hired a third instructor when I left, who unfortunately I didn't get the chance to work with, but I heard good things from other attendees. Third, the owner provides exceptional customer service. Diane responds to emails as seeming lightening speed. She also has an incredible understanding/memory of each of her member's class preferences. More than once she emailed me to let me know that a spot in class opened up when I had mentioned to her over a month before that I was interested in switching! The MindBody app can be clunky and a bit annoying if you are a member, but Diane is so attentive and helpful that for me it was a non-issue. She also keeps the prices at an exceptionally reasonable rate. My monthly membership at Fitlab meant the individual classes were cheaper than any other fitness class I had tried out in the area. Given the specialized attention that comes with a 6 person maximum class, the value for that expense was by far the best. My final thought is that if you have never tried pilates before, don't give up! Reformer pilates can be very frustrating at the beginning. The reformer is a crazy contraption that can be used in what seems like 50 million different ways. For the first three months, we did something totally new with it at every class I attended. There's a lot of set up involved for each of those new things and it felt like I had to learn a new language just to work out. It's also hard. But, the staff at Fitlab Pilates were so encouraging and helpful that I know I could go into any pilates class now and hold my own. I built more strength and felt more confident in my body than I ever had before. It was completely worth getting through the learning curve.

Fantastic experience: Very well trained instructors and very professional! Super friendly, clean and an excellent experience overall!

Fantastic experience: A wonderful, cute pilates studio. Instructors are super nice and knowledgable. Check it out!
