Proactive Pilates

I recently started at Proactive Pilates and honestly, I couldn’t recommend it more. I was completely new to Pilates and I’ve only been to the gym about three times in my life, so I was pretty nervous walking in. That said, I am a regular swimmer, so I have a decent fitness base — but this has been a totally different experience in the best way. Throughout the sessions, the instructors have made me feel comfortable and supported. Everything is explained clearly and there’s plenty of encouragement, but the best part is how energised I feel afterwards. If you’re someone who feels unsure about starting — especially if you’re not a “gym person” — this is such a welcoming place to begin. I’m so glad I gave it a go.

This was such an awesome, inviting and welcoming experience from the lead instructor Alicia. She made me feel really comfortable in trying Pilates out for the first time.

Love Proactive Pilates. A friendly and welcoming community. Informed, helpful instructors. I particularly love Alicia’s classes!

I have been a member of Proactive for more than 2 years and I am really noticing improvements in my strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. The instructors are very knowledgeable, attentive and supportive. The classes are both challenging and fun: they push you while also ensuring you enjoy the process. The exercises are always varied and keep you engaged, which makes every class feel fresh and exciting. The studio itself is spotless and conveniently located near the beach. I would recommend this studio to anyone, whether you are a beginner or more advanced.

Learn more I joined Proactive Pilates casually at the start of the New Year, and shortly thereafter becoming addicted! - took out a membership. I had been doing cross-fit and gym training for several years, but as with old age, I was starting to notice injuries and soreness from this type of training. I was looking for another way to 'reinvent' myself. I first noticed beautiful top quality reformer pilates studios in downtown New York in December 2018; and as I watched these sleek New Yorkers on reformer beds, as I walked the streets of the Big Apple, I wondered if this was the transformation I was looking for?! I have loved every class at Proactive Pilates, the sublime sleekly styled studio, Teresa and her friendly team. It doesn't matter who is teaching, every class is different, individual and the instructors all have their own unique personality and style! The range of classes, session times and availability makes it super easy and convenient, and Teresa has put the effort to set everything up on apps etc. My injuries that were bothering me have become stronger and less present, and it is hard to explain, but I just do not feel as centered both in body and spirit without my fix of pilates. I am going to be really truthful here and let you know I cancelled my membership for a couple of weeks, thinking I would go back to the gym - I was miserable, missed the Proactive TEAM and the regulars I had started to get to know - big mistake! Needless to say, I cancelled my gym membership and quickly returned - and I'm smiling again!
