5 Reasons You Need to Explore Studio Evolve
Here are the top 5 reasons that clients come to Studio Evolve:
1. “I want to reduce pain.”
Does your back hurt right now? If you answered yes, you are in good company - many of our clients report a history of back pain. Pilates and Gyrotonic sessions strengthen the deep core muscles that support your spine, promoting supple and pain-free spinal movement. In addition, our work together addresses mobility restrictions and postural habits that can make your back feel out of whack. Your instructor’s guidance and our state-of-the-art equipment will keep you in proper alignment while you strengthen the muscles around the affected joints, all without having to bear your full body weight.
2. “I just finished physical therapy and I don’t want to lose ground.“
Many of our clients have “graduated” from physical therapy, have been cleared to exercise and want a movement practice that keeps them healthy. Our teachers are happy to consult with your physical therapist to create a safe and effective full-body movement program.
3. “I have zero fitness routine. I want to work out, but I don’t know where to start.”
Pilates and Gyrotonic private sessions have a beautiful way of meeting you where you are today, regardless of your fitness level. It builds foundational strength and mobility that will make it easier for you to explore new activities, from hiking to hula dancing to high-intensity interval training. Beginning clients often say that their first Reformer workout didn’t feel super difficult in the moment. They were sweating, but they also were actually…enjoying themselves! And the next day, they woke up and felt muscles they didn’t know they had, in the best kind of way.
“Pilates is low impact and high payoff.”

Give Studio Evolve a try. Our instructors work with lots of people who hate to exercise but love coming to Studio Evolve. Our studio is a caring, welcoming space where you can freely explore your movement potential. You’ll leave your session feeling revitalized rather than depleted.
5. “I want to feel stronger in my everyday activities.”
As the home to a fabulous team of movement practitioners, and certified human people, here’s what we’ve learned: To be in a body that moves is a miracle — one that we can easily take for granted until that body doesn’t move so easily anymore or takes a long time to recover from injuries.
Many of our clients use Pilates and Gyrotonic sessions to help keep up their favorite activities as they get older. It’s a great way to maintain joint health and functional movement patterns in daily life. Joseph Pilates famously said: “You’re only as old as your spine is flexible. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.” We’ve had clients doing Pilates in their 90s, and we could not be prouder of them. They’re living proof that you can age well with Studio Evolve!
So plant a raised-bed garden! Bake an epic layer cake! Wander cobblestone streets the world over. Run a marathon. Get on the floor with the grandkids (and/or the grand-dog). Or just take a few seconds to feel the ground supporting your miraculous feet.
Whatever you’re up to, our team is here to help you revel in the joy of moving well.
“Flexibility is not required to begin at Evolve, but something our instructors can help with.”
