I first started Pilates at UPPilates based on a recommendation from my spine specialist after suffering for over a year with multiple bulging discs. I'm happy to say that I'm now pain-free thanks to Stella and UPPilates, and I'm probably the strongest I've been since playing competitive sports in college.

I recently injured my knee playing sports, and my doctor mentioned that if my muscles weren't so strong, I likely would have had a much more serious injury. I know I have Stella and UPPilates to thank for that.

Classical Pilates is the way to go if you want to strengthen your core and your body as a whole. And UPPilates is the place to go if you want to get stronger in a welcoming, clean environment with an experienced instructor who truly cares about helping you achieve your health and fitness goals.

This is a long-overdue review. I've been going to UPPilates for months and got completely swept away—I never looked back!

I've been doing Pilates for years and loved it so much that I eventually became a teacher myself. The one thing you often lose in that transition is your own practice, so I started looking for a studio where I could focus on myself. That's when I found Stella and UPPilates.

There are so many things I could say. First, this is a true Classical Pilates studio—traditional equipment, authentic work, and a deep respect for the method. When you come here, be prepared to work and truly experience Pilates the way it was intended.

I am happily humbled in every session. I've become so much stronger, and my passion for Pilates has grown tenfold.

Stella is an incredible teacher. She understands all body types, recognizes individual challenges, and knows the "why" behind everything she teaches. She is patient, thoughtful, and takes the time to explain movements in a way that creates those constant "aha!" moments when everything clicks.

Most importantly, even though the work is challenging, she somehow makes it fun. While I may feel like I'm dying during a session, I can't wait to come back for the next one!

If you're serious about your body and want to become stronger, more capable, and move better for life, UPPilates is the place to be.

I have been working with Stella and the instructors at UPPilates over the past year, and it has been a wonderful and rewarding experience.

Before finding UPPilates, I was out of shape and really starting to feel my age. I had tried working out at traditional gyms before, but I always felt out of place and never stuck with the program. My daughter recommended Pilates and helped me find this authentic Classical Pilates studio.

Stella is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced instructor who focuses on helping each client achieve their individual goals. The studio is welcoming, the atmosphere is calm and positive, and the instruction is always professional and encouraging.

After a year of consistent Pilates sessions, I have significantly improved my strength, mobility, balance, and overall health. I highly recommend Stella and UPPilates to anyone looking to make a positive and lasting change in their life.
