"I started my Pilates journey at VITA Pilates at the beginning of the year, and I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. As a long-distance runner, I wanted something to complement my training, especially to work different muscle groups and improve my flexibility and hip mobility after years of repetitive impact. Lauren immediately made me feel welcomed and confident. I walked into my first class a little intimidated, but she quickly put me at ease with clear instruction, a positive energy, and a supportive atmosphere. What I’ve gained physically - stronger core, more balanced muscles, noticeable improvements in flexibility - has translated into better runs and less tension after long miles. But the benefits go beyond the physical. There’s a real sense of community here! The encouragement in every class isn’t forced, it’s genuine. Lauren and Taylor both create spaces where you feel seen, challenged in the right ways, and celebrated for progress big and small. Each week builds on the last, so it’s easy to feel and track growth without it ever feeling overwhelming. Lauren is an outstanding instructor — knowledgeable, patient, and intuitive about how to help each person improve form and get the most out of every movement. I also want to give a big shoutout to Taylor, she brings such a thoughtful approach to classical Pilates, breaks down movements in ways that truly help you understand the “why,” and gives smart, gentle form cues that make a real difference! The variety of classes at VITA has been fantastic, from restorative sessions that help me reset to workouts that push strength and intentional movement, each class leaves me feeling like I got exactly what I needed that day. The studio itself is beautifully curated - inviting, bright, and creative + adds to the overall experience. I’ve learned so much about my body and deepened my mind-body connection here. VITA has been an amazing part of my routine, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or totally new to Pilates. If you’re considering Pilates, take the jump - you’ll be glad you did!"
