From the reviews

Where do I start? X-treme Pilates and owner Janine have been such a blessing in my life. I’ve never really enjoyed traditional exercise classes but was looking for something to help me to regain strength following my diagnosis of breast cancer at age 29.

★★★★★ — Emma, May 2024

By far THE BEST pilates studio in the area! All the instructors I've taken pay close attention to your form to prevent from possible injury. They've all been super knowledgable and welcoming, but Janine's classes (the owner) are my fav.

★★★★★ — Christine, Dec 2025

Pilates has been a game-changer for me and X-Treme Pilates is my home. I take 4 classes/week and every instructor has been really excellent. Each instructor understands the body, guides us in amazing workouts, and are really knowledgeable in their craft. I especially love Jeanine (the owner), Cecie, and Alexandra.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, May 2026

I love this pilates studio. Every time I have been here I have gotten an amazing workout. The instructors are so kind and helpful as well as very knowledgeable about the body. It’s a very nice studio, I really enjoy taking classes here.

Teacher training at X-Treme Pilates

X-Treme Pilates 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 X-Treme Pilates

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.
