I have worked out at Geometry for the past three years. I have been in Pilates for the past 7 years, but never with the same results that I have experienced at Geometry. At Geometry I now have firm arms (NOT EVEN AS A TEEN) and I am two sizes smaller in pants and skirts WITHOUT dropping more than a couple of pounds. Friends and relatives always ask me if I've been dieting, but no I work out 2x a week at Geometry. What is the difference or why is Geometry such a great place to work out. The instructors are well trained. They are able to adapt your workout to you. I've worked out with those with troubled pregnancies or injuries and the instructors at Geometry work hard at modifying their workout while paying attention to my own to ensure that I'm doing it properly. The instructors are flexible and continue to update their own training and education on a regular basis. They are very good at accomodating to your schedule and needs as much as possible. They really focus not only on the basics but on how you can improve what you are doing to maximize your workout. They provide pointers and ques just when they are needed and are individual not the typical Pilates (drop your ribs) but specific to you and what you are doing (drop the left shoulder and exhale now!). A few years ago my husband was struggling with back pain. His doctor told him he needed weight based training to counter the "computer slump". I finally convinced him to try Pilates at Geometry. Prior to that he'd always seen Pilates as a "women's workout". But at Geometry. he liked the atomosphere and the results (little pain and a full night sleep). A little about the atomosphere at Geometry. It is in the Pearl (never a bad place to be). While there is only on street parking it is rarely difficult to find a place to park. The studio itself has a the trendy loft feel of NYC, but it is definately Portland Organic. There is a variety of equipment and complimentary pieces for use.
Pros: Well trained instructors, location, parking is easy to find, wonderful variety of equipment
Cons: Few early morning appointments
