From the reviews
I have been doing pilates for about 5 years now and the past year I have been a client at Managed Fitness. Since I have been attending classes at this studio, I would never think of going anywhere else. Barbara, the owner and main instructor, is a wonderful and experienced teacher.
I love the bar sculpt class and pilates reformer class at Managed Fitness. The owner/instructor Barbara is highly qualified and very attentive to your personal fitness goals and will try to work around your schedule as much as possible.
I have tried a variety of classes at Managed Fitness (from Bar Sculpt, to Mat Pilates, and Pilates Reformer); they are all challenging and engaging in their own way. Barbara is an excellent instructor who, even in group fitness classes, manages to individualize instruction.
This a fantastic studio! It is a warm and welcoming environment that makes you look forward to working out. The classes are challenging but Barbara always gives modifications to fit your fitness level. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and give helpful pointers to assist you in maximizing your workout.
Teacher training at Managed Fitness Pilates Studio
Managed Fitness Pilates Studio 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 Managed Fitness Pilates Studio
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.
