I just finished out my 10 sessions with the Groupon. As a working mom, I appreciate the opportunity to work out over the lunch hour as well as the classes that are available on Sat/Sun. I was a little nervous the first day of class (since I took a little hiatus after my baby was born) but everyone was so incredibly welcoming and helpful. I recently signed a 6 mos contract and look forward to using it.

Victoria F.

I really enjoyed my OnRamp classes. Both Morgan and Sara were very competent and fun. I can’t believe something that felt so easy in the moment led to delicious soreness the next day. I’m planning to turn my Groupon into a membership.

Lucille W.

I love it! I’m one of the passport members and I’ve been trying to try out all the different classes. I have enjoyed them all!

Deb R.

I love the teacher, she is such a sweet lady. The man at the front, great as well! Extremely friendly. Good class, I was sore. A+!

Marta O.

First, let me say I have just fallen in love with Pilates. As a former runner/weight lifter for exercise type individual, I never thought I would find happiness with something such as Pilates. I think you have a really wonderful studio, I can’t say enough about the instructors, they are fabulous and seem to truly care about my success.

Sabrina K.

I bought my friend and I the Groupon for her birthday as we both wanted to give Pilates a try. We have taken 3 On Ramp classes with Emily. I’ve been impressed with the studio and Emily. She has been great at explaining things and maximizing our time together. We plan on buying a package after our Groupon is up to take more reformer classes. Thanks for offering such a great deal to try out your studio!
