Studio One VASIE® Pilates - Anchorage, Alaska

m-a sch

This place is absolutely fantastic! What a gem to find in Anchorage! The instructors are all extremely knowledgeable and will modify exercises for you if you have any injuries, aches or pains. They will also give you options if you want a more challenging workout or more of a beginner version.

The hands on corrections always help me so much to improve my form and I've experienced some amazing changes in my body. I haven't lost any weight but my body shape has changed so much in only 4 weeks: I am taller, my legs are straighter, my posture is better, and my feet are at least half a size smaller!

If you have previously taken Pilates classes somewhere else and it was boring or didn't feel good: try Studio One! It's nothing like your regular Pilates classes at the gym! Their Pilates is so much more effective than anything I've tried before. You'll feel great in your body when walking out of there!

The studio has a super welcoming environment and the instructors are really encouraging and make you feel good about yourself. They’ll push you just the right amount if you want them to, but they will also let you go at your own pace or go slow if you’re having one of those days...

Unfortunately I don't live in Alaska year round and I still haven't found Pilates classes in Europe that I enjoy as much as the Studio one classes! I'll really miss the Studio with all the great instructors, thanks for the fantastic classes and all your great work!

Christina is an experienced Pilates instructor who makes difficult classes fun with her wonderful sense of humor and kindness. I always leave class feeling corrections have been done gently and a sense of caring.

When preparing for two Total Hip Replacements within a 6 month span, I knew that pre operatively an exercise program to strengthen my core and build hip muscle strength and stability was essential for strong post op surgical results. As an RN it was important to find a program that was research based and reviewed and supported by Health Care Practitioners, including Physical Therapists. Having a full, active life I also wanted to maximize my time with a program that was smart, effective and fun and would compliment other activities. Studio One Pilates not only met my initial criteria but continues to exceed my expectations to help maximize full body strength, flexibility and over all well being!

Studio One Pilates concepts make excellent sense. The practice strengthens and tones specific muscle groups - large and small, stabilizers and movers - from head to toes (literally). Balance, breathing and posture enhancement are integrated in the classes that are led by professional instructors with advanced and ongoing training. The instructors are enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and skilled at delivering supportive individualized instruction in a positive, non competitive environment. The owners, Paul and Ana, model their commitment to their program, are engaged with their clients, and consistently enrich the instruction they offer in a friendly, kind hearted space.

I’m now recovering from my second surgery and have a great outcome thanks in part to Pilates conditioning. I am excited to get back my to Studio One program! Gratefully, no more surgeries - but plenty of Alaskan play to enjoy and lots of life to live to the fullest with a strong healthy body! Thank you Studio One Pilates!

I absolutely love Studio One! If you are looking for a comprehensive whole body workout look no further. It's low impact enough that anyone of any age or size can do it. Yet it's challenging as well and you get real results. Every week they focus on a different part of the body, so you get a well rounded workout and are not just doing the same exercises over and over. The also offer private lessons and workshops. The instructors, as well as the studio staff are so welcoming and kind. I've been going for the past year and they even held my membership while I was recovering from major surgery. My coworker recommended Studio One to me and I highly highly recommend them as well!

Studio One Pilates has redefined the word exercise for me. Working out is so civilized and enjoyable, I actually feel better after class. I generally take mat and reformer classes throughout the week and I've recently incorporated ballet bar into the mix. My muscles are strong and defined for the first time in my life. I'm taller, stronger, and I feel amazing. The staff at Studio One are friendly, helpful and caring. My self improvement journey is far from over, but with the help of Studio One I know I will be a success. Thank you doesn't seem like enough but I will say it. Thank you, thank you!!!

I was referred to Studio One by a friend and I will forever be grateful. I am not the biggest fan of exercise – I always seem to have an injury. With Pilates, there has never been an injury. My neck and back pain disappeared after a few weeks of classes and Rolfing and I was feeling 100%. Pilates helped me to find my foundation and strengthen those intrinsic muscles that you don’t usually get to at the gym. With each class I feel taller, stronger, balanced, and more relaxed. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and the environment is very welcoming and comfortable. I cannot say thank you enough!

I loved Studio One Pilates. I'll admit I was skeptical at first - I had done Pilates before and Studio One teaches a specific type of Pilates, which was not what I was expecting (I was expecting mirrors and more dance-oriented exercises)... but instead of mirrors and a focus on how you look during the workout, these instructors focus on how you feel during each exercise, and wow! That translates into a serious workout that really makes a difference for tone and strength and balance. The instructors really care about improvement in each individual and are very good about giving feedback, especially if you ask them. I didn't lose or gain any inches after boot camp (actually that was another thing that made me skeptical at first, I knew I couldn't change body shape in a few weeks!)... but after several months my formerly high arches were coming back and I was buying shoes in smaller sizes again, so that was nice. I moved in 2014 which is great for my professional life but I so wish there was a Pilates studio like this in my new town. 100% worth whatever amount of time you can spend there!

The staff and programs at Studio One Pilates are above and beyond all my expectations. The structure of the classes are so helpful at reducing pain and stiffness from old injuries. The strength and stability I have achieved through Back and Joint Boot Camp got me back on my feet post-back surgery and I keep gaining strength and stamina. The pain and loss of function from nerve damage have been greatly improved. As a Registered Nurse, my back pain nearly ended my career. I can't imagine a healthy life without Studio One Pilates.
