Fantastic experience: The Contrology Center in Germantown is a great studio to build core muscles and learn stretching and balancing techniques all while being mindful of deep breathing. The owner and staff are friendly, have a great sense of humor, and help each of us get the most out of our workouts. I can highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I never knew about Pilates was until fairly recently when a physician recommended it as the best way to combine the benefits of strength, balance, and flexibility training. With age, I want to make sure that I stay physically active--in fact, I want to be in better condition than I was in my youth--so I started taking private lessons. I quickly moved on to group classes, and I am amazed at how much I am learning. The instructors are very supportive and patient, and they know how to make the classes work for people at all skill levels. Best decision ever!

Fantastic experience: If you have been thinking of starting Pilates or making a switch, I highly recommend The Contrology Center. You won't find better instruction or more personal care anywhere else. Your body will find new strength!

Fantastic experience: My body has been rebuilt by this knowledgeable and supportive group of professionals. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Definitely worth trying and finding what works for you. Focus on form and technique comes along with the personal attention as well.

Fantastic experience: Terrific experience! I started Pilates with Renee and her team two years ago. I was an absolute beginner and hadn’t been exercising much at all. They were patient and encouraging and adapted the exercises to my ability. I always leave feeling good about what I can do. I am stronger and much more flexible now and love going here. They really know their stuff and they care about helping me achieve my goals.

Fantastic experience: Renee and her team are amazing, so knowledgeable and fun to be with ... Thank you so much for working with me and my body (and my crazy schedule).

Fantastic experience: The Contrology Center is an amazing studio on all levels. The equipment is state of the art, quality that is true to the foundation of Pilates. The setting is immaculately clean and inviting. Renee is as talented as she is sweet - her passion for Pilates is evident from the get-go. She is an incredibly gifted teacher as are all her instructors. There are classes for everyone, from beginner to advanced. It is a welcoming and very friendly atmosphere with zero intimidation. So glad I found this gem!

Fantastic experience: If I were giving The Contrology Center a letter grade it would be an A+. The spirit of Joseph Pilates is evident in the classical tradition of all classes. The studio is beautiful and very well maintained and you’ll always be greeted with a warm smile and lots of encouragement. .

Fantastic experience: This is my happy place! The instructors are top notch and there are classes for every level. Pilates is keeping my body 'tuned up' as the exercises reach all areas and focus on the core. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: So happy I found The Contrology Center! I wanted to start getting in shape again after a hysterectomy and really target those areas safely. I normally would not go to any kind of excerize club, but am so happy I found this place after doing a little research! It's totally comfortable, clean, cute and small class sizes. Not intimidating at all. Even 1 on 1 available or can go with a friend for a discount and a little extra motivation. I don't need much motivation any more as I am now hooked! The results will keep you going. I lost weight, improved my posture, plus it's a great way to de-stress. Renee will do a great job keeping you encouraged too, and most importantly, make sure you are doing everything right. I love the way I walk out feeling stronger and energized for the day - and really feel it in my core for the next 2 days every single time I go.

Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful studio with highly competent, inspiring and excellent coaches. Pilates has strengthened my body; I feel younger and more energetic - I highly recommend The Contrology Center in Germantown, WI!

Fantastic experience: The Contrology Center is such an inviting Pilates studio. I’ve taken a variety of classes there over the past five years and experienced many instructors. All instructors are so committed to helping clients do their best. The instructors get to know everyone and show a genuine interest in them. Personally I’ve found 5:30 am to fit my schedule best. I love that classes are offered at a variety of times to meet everyone’s needs. I’ve definitely found my happy at the Contrology Center!

Fantastic experience: What started out as a trial session two years ago has developed into a 2x week commitment . Under the expert instruction of Renee, my duet partner and I alternate sessions on the reformer/ tower, with noticeable improvements that carryover to the mat class and daily life. At 74 years old, Pilates at the Contrology Center has improved my mobility, flexibility and strength. The studio is well organized with great equipment and is impeccably clean. I highly recommend this studio.

All of the instructors are amazing, welcoming and supportive, regardless of where you are in your pilates journey. They offer a variety of classes at various levels and offer personalized sessions. I highly recommend their studio and staff!

Fantastic experience: As someone in her 40s who has physical limitations, Pilates at the Contrology Center has been the perfect addition to my workout routine. I can get a fantastic low impact workout and Renee is able to help me modify for my hip limits. She is very knowledgeable about all muscles/mechanics. The workouts are true Pilates which you can't find at every gym and the studio is clean and has a wonderful atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing Pilates with the Contrology Center for over 6 years and can not recommend it highly enough. The instructors are all wonderful at providing individual instruction tailored to each person's needs, skills, and limitations. The benefits of Pilates to my everyday life are exponential.

Fantastic experience: I am over 50 and did not have a current workout routine. I was very apprehensive about starting the reformer classes for Pilates. Renee gave me a private to get me started just to see what I thought. I went on to do the set of three privates and then I bought a pack of 10 privates. I would say by class six or seven I was doing exercises I could not do when I first came to the studio. I am now doing classes on my own and I am very excited about pursuing this long into my future. I’m currently going three times a week and I absolutely love it. The instructors are so great they definitely take the time to work with you and will slow down to help you out. I’m feeling very confident and I am so excited about my new journey!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to The Contrology Center for over 6 years. It has been the best thing I have done for myself. I have more energy & I feel good about myself. The instructors really care about you too. So what are you waiting for, call today and start becoming a better YOU!

Fantastic experience: I've been taking individual classes with instructor Joanne for about 6 months and can't recommend her highly enough. She tailors each class to my needs and is incredibly patient, kind, knowledgable, and encouraging. The studio is pristine and has equipment that runs smoothly and is kept in perfect condition. Whether you've never tried Pilates or have been wanting to find a studio to continue your practice, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: I have been to several classes and each instructor is amazing. Everyone is helpful, very knowledgeable on correct technique and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a customer of The Contrology Center for about a year. I initially tried Pilates at the recommendation of my voice teacher to work on breathe control and I was hooked. Through a combination of private lessons and classes I have significantly built my strength and flexibility, demonstrating consistent improvement. The teaching staff is universally great to work with. They are all really excited to share the benefits of Pilates. They have a great ability to coach a student to improve at the pace appropriate for their level and body type. The studio offer a wide array of equipment, supporting a variety of exercises and classes. The studio is meticulously cleaned. I have really enjoyed my experience and highly recommend The Contrology Venter for anyone interested in Pilates.

Fantastic experience: My experience at the Contrology Center has been great. My instructor is very knowledgeable, and the studio is extremely clean.

Fantastic experience: Renee is very welcoming of new guests to the studio! She can tailor the Pilates instruction to all levels of ability. I’m really enjoying my classes at The Contrology Center.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Contrology Center for over 3 years. I originally started because I loved doing mat DVD workouts. Met the owner Renee at my hair salon and was excited to try out the equipment. Changed my life! After a year I then had a set back. Breast Cancer. When I was able to return to exercise, Pilates was my saving grace! My physical therapist was amazed at my quick recovery of range of motion. It continues to heal my body to this day. The staff is always welcoming and genuinely care about all their clients. Thankful for the Pilates method.

Fantastic experience: A warm, inviting studio that accommodates all levels of ability. Top notch instructors and equipment provide a rewarding and fun workout experience while building rejuvenating core body strength. For anyone looking to increase or maintain mobility, flexibility and strength, The Contrology Center in Germantown offers an experience that exceeds expectations.

Fantastic experience: While my body is not in it's best shape. I gave Pilates a shot. Everyone from owner to instructors are very knowledgeable, patient, helpful and friendly. Any question I had was answered with suggestions or other Pilates options. I have seen my strength improve as well as my balance. I really feel like my body is getting a good workout. So give them a shot and try a session.

Fantastic experience: Renee and The Contrology Center came highly recommended to me when I shared with a friend the ongoing sciatica and herniated disc issues I was dealing with. My friend encouraged me to try Pilates here since she had sciatica issues too and Renee helped it greatly. I started going and fell in love with Pilates and with the beautiful Studio and entire team at The Contrology Center. Their knowledge and years of experience shows in the teaching and training of Pilates.

Fantastic experience: I began practicing with The Contrology Center a few months ago, after my old trainer left her practice and I wanted to find an option closer to home. My first step was a "discovery" session with the owner Renee, where she gathered 1:1 info about my experience and goals in order to match me with an instructor for private practice. We hit it off, so I began 1:1 sessions with Renee that eventually expanded to 2:1 sessions ("Duets") with a friend that I referred to the studio. After getting firmly grounded in the studio's approach, I began to also attend regular classes in all apparatuses (Reformer, Tower, Chair, and Mat). I think I've had classes with every instructor at this point, and they are all uniformly excellent. The vibe is welcoming and accepting of participants at all levels, with equal emphasis on those adapting to limitations and those looking for even more challenge. I've been on both sides of that equation on different days with different groups, and have always felt included wherever my skill. Despite having practiced Pilates elsewhere for some time, I am getting more out of my sessions at The Contrology Center than I ever have anywhere else. I'm so glad I reached out to the studio right in my area! I would never have guessed this hidden gem was right in Germantown.

Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2011. Pilates is the only exercise that I feel was the best fit for my aftercare and for a life long change. It has helped me down back strength and range of motion. The instructors are motivating and pay close attention to individual needs. The instructors are completely knowledgeable and have gone through a lot of training to be the best. Every time I complete a session I know I have worked every single part of my body. I can't recommend them enough. The equipment ads an extra boost to help stretch and strengthen you. Try it, you will not be disappointed. I have met so many different of people, this is truly for everyone and so good for your overall well being. They start you with private sessions to make sure they are catering to your individual needs and to make you comfortable when you move on to classes.

Fantastic experience: I have been so happy with my experience at the Contrology Center. I was new to Pilates and am very impressed with the training and everything the studio has to offer. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Even though I'm a very active 72 year old, I still felt that I needed to ensure that I had a strong core strength as go forward.. I determined that pilates was the best way to accomplish this. I couldn't be more pleased with the warm welcome and interest I received from owner Renee and the staff. All the instructors for the mat class sessions that I've taken have been outstanding! Even in a group session, the instructors are focused on all participants maintaining the correct technique and tailoring exercises to the individual. I work hard during the class; I feel fantastic after! The studio exceeded my expectations!

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad that I discovered Pilates at the Contrology Center in Germantown. Renee and her team of instructors do a fabulous job teaching Pilates to clients of all ages. At age 63 I’m so enjoying the Restorative Pilates classes with other ladies that appreciate the care that is given in providing options for those of us that may have shoulder, knee etc. issues. The studio is beautiful with first rate equipment and immaculately clean. A bonus is that everything is arranged so social distancing is easy! Renee and her team are also wonderful at keeping every class different and challenging us every time. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, knowledgeable, caring staff. They listen to and care about your goals and they're so encouraging!!

Fantastic experience: When I tried my first session I was in awe of the “crazy” moves and techniques, especially short spine, and now three years later I am addicted to it! Through my dedication and the expert guidance of Renee and all of the staff at the Contrology Center, my body is strong and flexible and healthy. Pilates works to my strengths, while at the same time gently improving my weak areas which include my lower back. I always leave the Contrology Center feeling proud of what I can do, yet driven to improve on those exercises that are difficult for me. This studio is also a haven of positivity and supportiveness – the staff and clients all lift each other up for the common goal of physical and emotional wellness.

Fantastic experience: What can I say! Renee and all the ladies at the studio are amazing. I started out my journey not even being able to get up from laying on my back. My mom and I do duet sessions weekly. It is our happy time. No matter what mood I come into the studio with I always find my smile.

Fantastic experience: I have tried Pilates before, but walked out disappointed and hurting ane not feeling like I knew what I was doing. When I arrived at Contrology, it was different from the start. The classes are very small and I couldn't believe the personal attention I received and still get in each class. The private session options are wonderful--they gave me the chance to really learn how to the moves correctly and gave me the confidence to try new classes. The staff is very interested in making the class a good use of my time and money. I feel like they are all truly concerned for my well being. I have gotten stronger and happier since making the commitment to going. It's been 6 months and I love it more than I thought I ever could love exercise! I have never done any exercise that I have really liked, but I miss Pilates at Contrology when I am not able to go and cannot wait to get there!

Fantastic experience: The Contrology Center is a fantastic Pilates studio with a wide variety of classes for all ability levels. The staff (Renee, Dawn, and Joann) are highly trained and attentive to the needs of each individual client. I have been going to this studio for two years and have taken all of the offered classes as well as private lessons. I am amazed by the strength and confidence I have gained! The studio is beautiful and clean and the clients and teachers are friendly, positive, and supportive. I would highly recommend The Contrology Center!

Fantastic experience: I love having this amazing place to come to every week! Been coming for over a year now and not only have I begun to feel much more strength, I feel like a part of a great family of wonderful teachers and an owner who really cares and knows each of us personally! Thanks Dawn Renee and JoAnn!

Fantastic experience: I started going to Renee to get myself stronger and in better shape for a second surgery and I got that and more. I found that I am stronger and handled surgery better, but I also got some intangibles - more energy, more confidence, and a better attitude. I am not quite sure how that happened, but it did. Renee is great about motivating people and cheering on their successes. It is not just for me, I have seen her do this for all the people that come to Contrology Center. I found that I love exercising and taking the time to focus on myself is helping me both professionally and personally become better. Now for the studio - Renee offers many different types of classes at all different hours of the day for those who work and those who don't. The center is always clean and welcoming. I love the cardio and mat classes. Renee also offers private lessons to make sure you focus on the correct way to exercise that avoids injury. Update July 2017: I still love going to The Contrology Center in Germantown. Renee, Dawn and JoAnn have been working to get me through a broken leg and are incredibly supportive as I am relearning to use my leg. The studio is still kept immaculate, it is still a friendly and encouraging place by both the staff and the clients. Even though I have been going here for 2 years now, I am still challenged, supported and encouraged. I can't say enough amazing things about Renee and her team.

Fantastic experience: The BEST pilates studio hands down. I love this place and you will too. I am 50 years old and had never taken an exercise class in my life. I started taking pilates classes 8 months ago and it has changed my life. My muscles are toned and lean. I have much more flexibility, energy and a more positive outlook. I suffered terrible back and joint pain for more than 10 years. My joint pain is gone. My back pain is nearly gone as well. I am getting stronger with every pilates class and will soon be pain free. Owner Renee and her staff have the highest level of certification of pilates training and have extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the human body. Renee and her staff (Joann and Dawn) offer modifications to any pilates exercise that will ensure that whatever injury or limitation you have that a safe alternative will be provided so you can safely benefit from pilates and become stronger. This studio is beautiful, clean, and has all top notch equipment. The other pilates students are friendly, supportive and encouraging. Highly recommend this place
