From the reviews
After taking my first pilates class I understood why people love it so much. It is truly amazing. I chose this studio because it was small and from the moment I stepped in I felt welcomed. People know each other by name and you feel a sense of community.
I’m absolutely addicted to IMX pilates and the way I feel both during and after class. I enjoy the workouts so much that after 10 years as a client at the Clifton studio, I decided to get my instructor certification!
The absolute best!! I have been coming to IMX Clifton on and off for some time now. I weight train on my own also. This helps me stretch and workout smaller muscle groups as well as work on my core. My core has gotten so much stronger. Every instructor is so good and knowledgeable.
This is a great studio with positive, caring instructors that are always looking out for the well being of their clients. Classes are laid back and fun and the instructors are mindful of modifying exercises to fit all skill levels. As a side note, this is mostly a reformer studio.
Teacher training at IM=X Pilates and Fitness
IM=X Pilates and Fitness comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first barre class at IM=X Pilates and Fitness
New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
