From the reviews

I've worked with pretty much every instructor at Move and they're all fantastic. I'm so happy I started doing pilates. It's a low-key way to stay fit and keep my body from betraying me while hanging out in a supportive environment with great folks.

It is high time I've given a review to Move! I have been attending barre and Pilates classes at this wonderful studio for probably ten years. The practice of Pilates and the expertise of the instructors have made me stronger as a 50 year old than I ever had been in my younger years, even with lots of running.

★★★★★ — Ona, Jan 2021

I practically lived at Move Missoula for a little over a year. I got so much out of my time there - from private and small group Pilates reformer work, to Barre classes that incorporated mat Pilates moves, and other great core and lower body work.

★★★★★ — Llgrannis, Sep 2016

I love Move Missoula. Alison takes great care to do the best by each person, and she's top notch as a knowledgeagle instructor. Excellent.

Teacher training at Move Missoula The Pilates & Barre Studio

Move Missoula The Pilates & Barre 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 Move Missoula The Pilates & Barre 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.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
