West Seattle Pilates and Fitness

• Dawn B.August 2026

  I love West Seattle Pilates! I attend multiple classes a week (for the last several years) and always walk out feeling stronger, less stiff/achy, energized, and so glad I came – especially after a long day of sitting and staring at a computer screen. The studio has 6 reformers for group sessions and the instructors are amazing – very knowledgeable, focused-programs, individual attention (even in a group session), encouraging/positive feedback, and overall good vibes. The clients are also very welcoming and friendly, representing every age-group and level of skill. I highly recommend West Seattle Pilates and, if you’re new to Pilates, this is a great, welcoming and warm studio to get your routine going. **Bonus – local, woman-owned business (the owner is awesome and teaches the morning classes) and there’s usually plenty of free on/off street parking.

  My favorite Pilates studio for sure. The small class sizes allows for in class coaching for each person. And the tower and Cadillac reformers allow for a good variety of exercises. And the pricing is reasonable.

  This wonderful little studio has been life altering! All the little feel good signs on the walls truly represent the cozy atmosphere where everyone is welcome. The instructors are so very kind, open and inclusive. They each have different styles, background and expertise, which I love because the clients receive the benefit of a great variety of classes. Each time I go in, I feel like I do or learn something new (and I’ve been going for almost a year!) My journey started after a year of physical therapy for my various aches and pains. My PT recommended I contact Jenny (studio owner extraordinaire) and work on building strength. Being overweight and not athletically inclined my entire life, I very reluctantly took this step in a desperate attempt to better my physical health. I did not really know or understand anything about Pilates and was rather intimidated and anxious. Little did I know that I would find my “home” here, in improving my physical health but also my mental and emotional health and bonus: build genuine friendships with like-minded people. Jenny paired me with the absolute best 1:1 instructor for private lessons to start my intro to Pilates. Ellie listened to my needs and designed each session focused on my goals and made modifications as we realized my limitations. Even when I didn’t know what I wanted or needed, I relied on her expertise and she consistently knew exactly the right thing. I left every single session feeling encouraged and accomplished. Through her instruction and encouragement, my confidence grew and I began taking classes. The classes are small (maximum of 5 students) and allow the instructors to work closely with each individual, helping with form and offering tips to get more out of each exercise, or modifying for individual needs. Classes range from beginner to intermediate and advanced, and include reformer as well as tower & mat. Even within each level, instructors often offer progressions and modifications so that each individual can choose to do what’s best for them and their body on any given day. I just can not believe I have found this joyful, kind, inclusive and open to all abilities studio. In the course of the last year, I have gone from once a week to 2-3x a week and now attend 5-6x a week. I am far stronger and happier and have gained tremendous confidence. I am certain my experience would not have been remotely the same at a different studio. There is a sense of belonging here. Doing Pilates at this studio has become a feel good obsession. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Jenny, Ellie, Susan, Melanie, Becca, Jordana and team have created a hidden gem of a Pilates studio here in west Seattle.
