Pilates on Beechwood

I cannot say enough good things about Pilates on Beechwood! I am new to Pilates and I felt immediately welcomed into this studio space. I have had the pleasure of booking Pilates sessions with various instructors and every single one has been absolutely amazing!

For mamas and mamas-to-be: Pilates is an amazing activity to rebuild/work on your core strength! Many of the stretches and exercises provided by my pelvic floor physiotherapist are incorporated in the Pilates exercises. There is an emphasis on the core, pelvic floor, as well as micro muscles in Pilates. My core strength has immensely improved in less than two weeks since I started my Pilates journey!

To my plus-size friends: I know joining a new studio can be intimidating. However, Pilates on Beechwood has been nothing but inclusive and supportive to me. You will feel comfortable in this space! :)

This is an excellent studio for both reformer and mat pilates. The instructors and the owner are great. Thank you for creating such a nice workout atmosphere. Highly recommend and will be back!

A few months ago, my partner and I booked a duo reformer pilates session at Glebe Pilates. For both of us it was the first ever reformer pilates session and we came as two novices. We are truly amazed at the positive impact it has had on our fitness journey. Kelly F., our instructor is not just knowledgeable and super professional, but also wonderfully supportive and an incredible human being. She pays attention to every small detail and our individual needs, providing modifications and adjusts every exercise to our ability. Working with her has been one of the best things that have ever happened to us!

From the moment we walked in, Kelly exuded professionalism and a genuine passion for Pilates. The duo sessions allow for a level of personal attention and customization that surpassed our expectations. She takes the time to understand our fitness goals, any physical limitations, and tailored the session accordingly, skilfully balancing challenge and support, and making every session both enjoyable and rewarding (even when it's challenging). We started with no expectations at all and we slowly fell in love with reformer pilates and can't wait for our weekly sessions with Kelly. Every session targets different muscle groups and Kelly's guidance promotes a holistic approach to fitness. We've noticed significant improvements in our core strength, flexibility, and overall posture after just a few weeks of consistent attendance.

We exercise in both Glebe and Beachwood locations. Both are serene, welcoming, well-equipped and maintained, and really great spaces to take a beat and focus on your body and movement. If you're looking for individualized attention, expert guidance, and a transformative Pilates experience, we highly recommend scheduling a private session with Kelly F. and joining Glebe Pilates. We also wanted to say a huge thanks to Amy the owner for all the support you gave us along the way.
Best Pilates studio in Ottawa!

BEST pilates experience! The instructors are all very well trained and very attentive to each client, even in group classes. For newbies (like me!) I recommend browsing around to find the instructor that best fits your vibe and fitness style/needs. Especially those with "tissue issues" should make time to talk to each instructor before class, since different instructors approach modifications differently. I've noticed that all bodies and temperaments are welcomed in this studio. This is honestly the most non-judgemental space you will find in this city! The price of classes keeps you accountable :) Once you start attending classes, you'll realize that you actually get a LOT MORE value than what you pay for in each class. Highly recommend this studio, and thrilled that they are in our neighbourhood now!

Wonderful studio! Very welcoming space, the teachers are great and very accommodating. The classes are a little pricey, but there’s a lot of value in them and the class group size is small, with lots of individualized attention and guidance from the instructors. A lovely addition to the neighbourhood.
