Studio Blue has made me realize how important it is to take care of your body for best overall health. I am a professional cook and pilates has helped with chronic back pain, bad posture, and sore legs and feet. The instructors at Studio Blue listen to what you do and what you want to accomplish and take an invested interest in helping you achieve your goals. I started out taking mat classes only and have progressed into equipment and private sessions. In one year I lost 13 pounds and had to have my wedding dress taken in two sizes. It has been worth every penny and is a better deal then belonging to a gym or yoga studio. I would recommend this to anyone, and I have!

I love Studio Blue. Every teacher i've had is motivating, kind and full of good energy. The space for mat classes is very small, but there is a maximum number of people who can sign up, so space is not a problem. I like that classes start on time and that they close the door if you're late. Who wants to be interrupted five minutes into their practice, anyway? For me, pilates has meant one hour a day where my I am focused solely on my body and how it works, instead of always living in my head. I leave class feeling a sense of clarity in my mind, my body feeling strong and balanced, the stress of my day gone.
And really: the people who work there are super, super nice. I don't ever get the feeling of being judged; rather, it's more like, "Woo hoo! Good job for coming to class today! Let's sweat!"

For years I've been a card-carrying "gym rat" but I shortly after moving to Portland I decided to look for a new approach to keeping fit, staying strong, and improving my overall well-being. I found it at Studio Blue. I have to admit that their 'one-week free trial' got me in the door, but their class variety, positive attitudes, knowledgeable and friendly instructors have kept me coming back. I'm now addicted!
Because I had never done pilates before, I was worried about "doing it right" and not hurting myself in the process. I am always appreciative of the personal attention I get from every instructor, in every class I've taken. They do a wonderful job making sure you have a great (and safe) experience.
The Studio Blue team has built a great community and I can't imagine a week without a visit. It's definitely worth your time to drop in and talk to Dan and Joanne to see if pilates is right for you. I'm sure their enthusiasm will make you a convert :)

Taking classes at Studio Blue has totally changed my body. After 30 yrs of being about 15 lbs heavier I've kept the weight off now for nearly 2 years(even that last stubborn 5 lbs) and I believe I have an even BETTER body than I did when I was a teenager. In no time at all I reduced my waistline 2 pants sizes and can see muscle definition I never dreamed I could have. I've tried other yoga/pilates/exercise studios in town and stayed with SB for several reasons: the small intimate class sizes where I get personal attention, the way I've always been welcomed and treated like family, and the EXTREMELY reasonable pricing (better than anyplace else I've tried in town). Dan always greets me with a smile and his enthusiasm is contagious. I never dread going there to work out -- instead I look forward to classes that are fun, and trainers who take the time to get to know me. There are so many different classes/times to choose from that I can easily fit several workouts per week into my schedule, and every class is a little bit different so I'm never bored. Dan, Ishbel, and the other trainers do a great job of making you feel comfortable in class regardless of your previous experience/fitness level and I find the workouts challenging but never intimidating. Great location and easy free street parking too. I tried the "first week free" offer (which allows you to choose as many classes as you want to from the 20+ available each week) and have been devoted to Studio Blue ever since. I would encourage anyone who is interested in pilates, yoga, or just getting in the best core shape of your life to stop by and try a free week. Oh, and they also have TRULY private Private Instruction so I'm in a room of my own with my trainer (rather than a group setting with other trainers and clients) which is great for those of us who tend to be self-conscious!

I have been going to Studio Blue for over 2 years now. All of the instructors, Dan, Wendi, Angelina, Tami and Ishbel are great! They are all unique in their style. The one thing they all have is a true love for what they do and great knowledge of the body. When I first started coming, I had hip and back pain.
After doing privates on the pilates equipment twice a week for just a couple of months my 10 years of pain was gone. I would recommend Studio Blue to anyone!
Thank you Studio Blue!!!

The environment at the studio is very welcoming and the staff is very smart and friendly. I have been going to the gym for years and just started using the pilates machines. They are intense and I was sore for days, in all the right spots! I will continue to go to Studio Blue and recommend them to all my friends.
