Amazing studio-has changed my life!

by pfdf

I really love reform! All of the teachers are very experienced and able to work with my hip replacement (one year ago) while still challenging me. I would have never expected to have been able to reach this fitness level again after my surgery. I am not only stronger and more flexible, but find that I can participate in activities like cycling and hiking that were previously prohibited because of my hip problems.

I strongly recommend Reform, especially as a well established studio with excellent well trained teachers. Professional and clean-I love Reform!

• Pros: on street parking, free mat classes, scheduling options
• Cons: not open Sundays

Best investment

I have always wanted to try Pilates in a studio with machines, so about 6 months ago I reviewed different studios on City Search and decided to give Reform Pilates a try. My body has changed, I've become motivated to do more cardio (because I feel so good), I have gained knowledge, am more aware of my posture and am experiencing less lower back pain. The staff is so competent and caring. The facility is clean and well organized, east street parking. Well worth your time and money. I look forward to my session every week and am very excited when I can find time to attend a mat class!

• Pros: Staff, facility
• Cons: not enough evening mat classes

My life/ body has never been the same!

by jcroz

I've been doing Pilates matwork using the videos available on the market for a year. It has made a marked difference in my appearance and my strength. I knew that 'real' Pilates involved equipment, but knew of nowhere nearby that had the equipment or a trainer. Searching Google one day I saw Reform Pilates & Movement Studio right here in Portland, and immediately called. What an AMAZING difference I have already seen within and without. Everything you may have read about Pilates is true, and Jessica is the absolute BEST. She's extremely organized in her approach, and very knowlegeable about the discipline. She's her own best advertisement. I feel that having my own Pilates trainer is very decadent, but Im worth it! I look forward to every class knowing Ill learn something new and leave feeling like my body just got tweaked, and that feels great!

• Pros: Great location, best staff
• Cons: Not open 24 hours
