GoogleI can’t say enough amazing things about this Pilates studio and Despina. She is truly the best instructor I’ve ever had. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care for each client really set her apart. The class sizes are small, which makes every session feel incredibly personalized. Despina takes the time to correct form, offer modifications, and ensure everyone feels supported and challenged at the same time. You never feel overlooked. Every class leaves me feeling stronger, more confident, and so glad I showed up. If you’re looking for a welcoming, high-quality Pilates experience with an instructor who truly cares, this is it. Highly recommend!
I love it here!!! These classes make me excited to work out - it’s so great to feel yourself getting stronger and accepting mindful challenges. Despina is an amazinggg teacher and has created a beautiful community with Somata Pilates. She brings her expertise and personal touch to every class, you can just tell she loves it. She celebrates your accomplishments and puts in effort. This really sets her apart and makes your experience all the more meaningful! I have taken a break just keeping up with regular workouts, but my body is definitely missing these classes. Can’t wait to get back!
I’ve been to a few studios prior to taking classes at Somata Pilates. Despina is hands down the best instructor I have ever had. She is patient and encouraging but also pushes you when she knows you can take the next step. I was excited when I saw there was studio opening in my area as all other studios were a bit far. Somata Pilates isn’t just a workout studio, Despina has really cultivated a space of belonging and inclusivity. She is truly the best!
Finding Somata Pilates has been an absolute dream!! I’ve been taking classes with Despina for a couple of months now, and I can confidently say it’s my favorite studio and the best Pilates classes I’ve attended to date. Despina is an AMAZING instructor who fosters an encouraging and fun environment, helps with your form no matter your level, and is genuinely committed to helping you reach your fitness goals. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already experienced in Pilates, Despina’s classes truly offer all the training and support you need!!
I’ve been coming to Somata Pilates for a month now, and I absolutely love it. The space is welcoming and feels like a hidden gem. Despina is not only beautiful inside and out, but she truly understands the body and anatomy. Having had no Pilates experience in the past, she’s been incredibly patient with me and really tries to meet everyone exactly where they are. Whether you’re brand new or more experienced, she makes sure you feel supported and challenged. I’ve never felt more comfortable or motivated in a fitness space. Highly recommend!
