What Our Clients Say....
After
just 4 weeks of focused training by great instructors, I have had many
people come up to me and ask..."So what's your new secret? You look
great! Your legs, your arms...even your face!!" The answer is Thrive
Pilates. Go in, focus on the moves, follow the instructors creative and
fun workouts, and RESULTS will happen! Bonnie A.

I've
been going to Thrive for over a year and it has truly changed my
physique. Normally I hate working out, but pilates at Thrive is fun and
challenging and the results are amazing. The instructors are wonderful
and the system used for scheduling a class is so flexible. I would
recommend Thrive to anyone! Jill S J
***** Thanks!
I am most grateful to you for accomodating my "special needs". I am
making great progress--it feels so good to be able to feel my ab
muscles again....and to see my biceps and triceps growing stronger!
Thrive Pilates came into my life exactly when I needed you!! Paula D
***** Great Instructors and great website
I like that the
instructors are very knowledgeable about their practice, but not
annoyingly so. And they're very good at a tailoring to whatever level
you are at in terms of your fitness, or if you have a health issue or
injury or whatnot. The instructors are nice, funny, and
entertaining, and help me to forget that I am actually sweating my ass
off. Which is ultimately the whole point, right? Another big plus -
they have a very thorough web site. You can see what classes are
available, how many people have signed up for different sessions, book
and pay for everything online. Which is key. Coleen M
***** A must-try for
any pilates or yoga enthusiast
Thrive
Pilates is wonderful!!! I take two classes a week (one mat and one
reformer) and I look forward to each and every one. I
started pilates about a year and a half ago after I had my first child.
I wanted to get my baby weight off. It came off fast and it has stayed
off!!! This is the best type of excercise I have ever tried. The
instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, fun...Just plain AWESOME. They
care about each clients needs and goals and make each class or personal
session just what you want and need. An accelerated heart rate makes it
difficult for me to do a lot of cardio and other excercises. However,
the staff at Thrive Pilates and Yoga make sure I get the maximum
workout possible and stay in shape and healthy. You will not regret
giving Thrive Pilates and Yoga a try!!! Kasey C
At
a Doctors reccomendation I tried pilates. I admit I was highly
skeptical since I was used to weight training and working out hard. But
once I tried Thrive Pilates I was hooked. I found it to be an extremly
challenging and exhilirating workout I sweated and felt challenged -
just what I was looking for.!!! And my self confidence soared!!! But
all that was the result of the talent at Thrive Pilates.
I was amazed
about how knowledgeable the instructors were. That was especially
important to me given I had medical concerns as a result of breast
cancer. I was so impressed wth the instuctors and how they personalized
my workout based on my individual needs. The team at Thrive proved to
me that not only are they experts in the discipline of Pilates they
have a great deal of experience in helping those with specific needs. I
am now a life long devotee of pilates and I owe that to my initial
experience with the talented folks at Thrive Pilates - Mel, Cindy,
Rosanne and all - you all are amazing!!! Deb M

I
have been a student of Thrive since last summer and prior to that had
problems with my back. Not only after 2 months of classes did my back
feel better, but I noticed the definition and tightness coming back in
my overall shape. After JUST two months!! In addition to the wonderful
feeling you get from looking great and feeling great, the staff is
phenomenal!! The teachers are wonderful to work with and will tailor a
program to fit your needs and your skill level. I highly recommend that
you try Thrive!! (PS They give you your first class for free, so you
have nothing to lose) Gloria B.

Thrive pilates
has the most friendly, experienced instructors in the area. The
instructors always solicit feedback and tailor each class to fit
varying skill levels, creating a non-competitive but result-oriented
environment for all individuals. The Mat classes are fun but
challenging enough to make the most advanced Pilates student sweat, sore but stronger the next day. Alexa C

Thrive Pilates offers programs and individual instruction at every level. In the year that I've worked with the Thrive Pilates
team, I've had individual sessions and have taken group mat and
reformer classes. Excellent instructors who also are great motivators. Julia S

I
have been taking classes with Thrive Pilates for a couple of months and
I have only great things to say about them. There is no one size fits
all like in some other gyms. The classes are small and the instructors
are very knowledgeable and give everyone in the class personal
attention. Inbal K

***** Knowledgeable instructors who care
I’ve tried several pilates
classes around northern Virginia and once I found Thrive I knew I found
what I was looking for. I currently live 30 mins from the class
location but still attend weekly classes because they are well worth
the drive. They keep the pace interesting whether you're a beginner or
more experienced and overall I find the classes challenging and a great
way to relieve stress. I’ve been attending classes for several months
and have really loved the results. I’ve increased the strength in my
core and legs. The best part is feeling like you’ve worked your entire
body when you leave. In other classes I’ve taken they’d focus on just
one area of your body or even worse apply the same regime to all
participants, which at the very least can bore some and at the worst
injure others. The instructors at Thrive let you adjust the weight and
moves to accommodate your body and skill level – this way it’sa great
class for everyone not just some! I’d recommend Thrive to anyone
interested giving pilates a try or who are looking for a pilates gym that knows what they’re doing. Jenna L
***** Top Notch Classes
I really enjoy working out with everyone at Thrive and the service they
provide is top notch. The classes are small (limited to five students
for the reformer class) and each teacher has a different style, so you
can go different days of the week, doing the same class, yet still get
variety. Right now (10/2008), they are in the Energy club in
Shirlington. But they are moving to their own studio in January -
still in Shirlington. Shepard L.
* Beware - This is not Authentic Pilates
Be very careful with this one! Notice that there are no reviews less than 5 stars here or on the Google reviews? That's because one of the partners is amazingly tech savvy and removes any negative comments. This place is NOT authentic Pilates. If you have been doing Pilates for a long time, then it's a nice workout. Otherwise you can easily get hurt here, or not get the full benefit of a true Pilates workout. The instructors give no insight on what you should be doing with your body. Authentic Pilates is about connecting with your body to get the most from it. Joe Pilates is rolling over in his grave on this one!
For the mat classes, Roseanne works out with you, rather than walking around and making sure students conduct the exercises to form. Even experienced Pilates students hold their shoulders up or don't "scoop" their abs enough. Sorry, I don't pay that much to work out with someone!
Finally, it is a bit of a joke on the discussion topics. Real Housewives of Orange County; making fun of people walking by - their outfits and whether they should be wearing them, etc. Joe's intention was to connect people not tear them down.
Beware! It will be interesting to see if this review stays up. My guess is that she will leave it here because I am saying it will disappear. At least that's my hope. If not, I'll just keep coming back and re-posting. Buffy W
