Dedicated, well-trained pilates experts 5 Star Rating - World class

I've been a client at the Body Gallery since 2002 and have had great experiences with all their trainers. The studio is a very quiet, calm space and all the trainers really know what they're doing. I had some major dance injuries and pilates has almost completely eliminated the pain from the injuries.

Pros: Great trainers, great space
Cons: Price

Best Pilates in SF 5 Star Rating - World class

I took Pilates in Atlanta for 2 years and 1 year at another SF studio before I was fortunate enough to find the Body Gallery. It is an oasis - the surroundings relaxing and the workouts refreshing and energizing. My instructors are better than I've found anywhere, personalized and specific to what I desire to get out of each session. I am a skier, surfer, and tri-athlete so at times, they are pushing me the distance to train and work parts of my body that need it for these sports. They have also been my champions in getting my strength back after knee surgery last year. My body and my spirit have benefitted exponentially through Pilates and I wouldn't trade my instructors, Sonya and Trusha, for anyone. They're both AWESOME, but I think all of the trainers there are wonderful. Cheers to this oasis in the city!

best pilates studio in SF 5 Star Rating - World class

I would like to call it my little slice of pilates heaven. Definately deserves a title of "the best kept secret" in the city, I work with the owner of the studio Cassidy who is extremely skilled and an absolute pleasure to work with. Cassidy bring a delicate balance of professionalism and warmth unlike I have ever seen. I started with pilates because I had an alinging back condition, she not only works with me at every step of the way to rehabilitate my back but improve overall muscle tone. I highly recommened body gallery to any one who iis looking of one on one pilates.

The Body Gallery, a great place to practice pilates 5 Star Rating - World class

In 2001 I was being treated for a shoulder injury. When the problem didn't respond to either physical therapy or chiropractic my doctor recommended Pilates to strengthen the related muscles. He said that the carefully supervised workouts would help prevent re-injury to the area. Within weeks I noticed improvement and the problem eventually resolved completely. I found that the meditative atmosphere and intelligent instruction at the Body Gallery were just what I needed to recover and enjoy continued training. Pilates has helped me to become stronger and more flexible. I love the sessions.
