What our clients are saying

  • "I am so thrilled and impressed with Fort Pilates studio. I have dabbled in pilates over the years with online videos at home but was never able to remain consistent. I have wanted try formal instruction with a reformer for ages and I am so glad I did. From the initial one on one sessions to the group classes this studio, Anna and the other trainers are amazing! Having the proper equipment and instruction I am able to achieve more than I ever did with the online videos at home. I also find that registering forclasses and having them in my calendar, helps to maintain consistency with my workouts.I highly recommend Fort Pilates Studio!!!"

  • "I have been to other pilates studios before finding Fort Pilates. The classes are small and the attention is large. I have taken classes from all of the instructors and they are top notch. The atmosphere is warm and welcome and plus you get personolized attention in a group setting."

  • “As a life long exerciser I have worked with a number of personal trainers. I consider Anna one of the best! Her attention to detail, workout personalization, and constant variety make workouts a joy. And, most importantly, she gets results! A true professional at the top of her game.“

  • “I had never done pilates before, and found Rivers Run Pilates from a friend. I was recovering from abdominal surgery and was very hesitant to go into a studio setting feeling as weak as I was. I met the owner, Anna for a private lesson to explain my hesitation and she met me exactly where I was. I have never felt more seen or heard by an instructor. During private lessons, Anna will guide you toward the strongest version of yourself. And during class, she manages to do the same even with others in the class. The studio is a very intimate setting, so she’s able to give one on one attention. The studio has a plethora of gear, so even after all the workouts I’ve done there, I haven’t repeated a workout once. It’s always changing which keeps my interest and keeps my body guessing. Anna is an expert in her craft. She understands the full mind, body, spirit connection. I was terrified to start this journey, but I have grown so much stronger since the day I met her. I believe there are angels that walk among us, and Anna, you are one of them. If you’re looking to gain length and strength and find a really cool group to hang out with, this is definitely your place!”

  • “As a 76 year old woman, I have been working out with Anna for approximately 3½ years. Her extensive knowledge of an array of exercise regimes and how each can be applied to the particular needs of the individual body never ceases to amaze me. Her willingness to listen to the needs of her clients translates into a most pleasant and rewarding experience.“
