Community Feedback

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Danielle and Purposeful Pilates through co-hosted events, and by taking a private lesson myself. Danielle and her instructors provide excellent cues and are very attentive to proper technique, which makes a huge difference in helping their clients move safely and effectively. They make pilates approachable and fun, and help their clients achieve their goals! Pilates offers incredible benefits, including improved stability, mobility, and body awareness, and the team at Purposeful Pilates does a fantastic job guiding clients through that process. As a physical therapist, I truly appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to quality instruction. I highly recommend their studio to anyone looking to move and feel better in a supportive environment."

"Malia is my favorite instructor! In class she’s present, professional, and attentive to each client offering adjustments for better positioning, and her knowledge in physiology and Pilates surpasses many other instructors I’ve had. Her classes flow fluidly, and her exercises in each class are unique and well-planned out. I never want to leave this studio because of Malia!"

"I am OBSESSED with Purposeful Pilates! Total Stage 5 Clinger. I had never done Pilates (or any group fitness class) before, and now I can’t imagine my week without it. The vibe is super welcoming, and I actually look forward to working out! Danielle, the owner, has such a gift for teaching the fundamentals. She makes everything approachable, explains the “why” behind each movement, and ensures that you build a strong foundation. Katie brings the energy. She’s upbeat, motivating, and makes every class fly by! Together, they’ve created the perfect balance of education and fun. Since starting a few months ago, I feel stronger, more coordinated and the changes in my posture and core strength have been incredible! I also love that Danielle taught free community classes at the North Loop Green this summer and even offers a class at the Four Seasons (Hello?!? 2 hours of spa access before or after your workout…yes, please!). Purposeful Pilates is more than a studio…it’s a place that builds confidence, community, and real results. If you’ve ever been hesitant to try Pilates, Purposeful Pilates is THE place to start."
