Client Testimonials

“I have been doing Pilates at Studio Lotus for six months. It has changed my life! There are so many things I love about Studio Lotus and the Pilates routines. The workout is highly effective and a lot of fun. You see results immediately and continue to see your body change, and your strength and flexibility improve with each session. The environment at Studio Lotus is excellent. It is a real teaching environment where people at all levels can feel comfortable, challenged, and achieve success with their individual goals. The operation is very professionally run with class schedules that are consistent, not canceled at the last minute, and that always run on time. This is very important for people who work or have multiple obligations and need to count on a consistent schedule to get their workouts in. Most important, the instructors are the best! I work with Nancy and she is outstanding!! She is very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. Her eye for detail is amazing and the corrections she makes in my form and technique have enabled me to improve and progress. I feel that she is very much vested in seeing me succeed. I also love the way she varies every session to work on my weaknesses and to keep things interesting. I hope to do Pilates at Studio Lotus for a long time. It is a pleasure to provide my testimonial. I hope it is not too long. I could go on and on. Thank you for all that you all do.”

“I had been doing Pilates mat classes for about three years at the Y with teachers of various competency. Then the Y hired their first Studio Lotus-trained teacher, Kristin. That was my wake-up call -- so this is what Pilates REALLY means! I started taking private lessons with her at Studio Lotus on Zonolite, and did I ever get in shape quickly! It also helped me get so much more out of my mat classes at the Y. Then I began attending the intermediate class at Lotus on Saturday mornings, with Adrienne -- a great class for those who want to move more quickly through the routine and try more advanced moves. Studio Lotus teachers are so well-trained that you can't go wrong with any of them. I have now quit the Y. Though I'm spending more at Studio Lotus, I'm getting consistently good instructors and getting much better results. The Studio Lotus teachers are the best trained teachers in Atlanta. Pilates gives the body a feminine, yet strong look. Think long and lean rather than bulked up. It’s also great for the posture and, because it strengthens the core, Pilates protects the back. For me (in my early 50s), the program is the ideal anti-aging treatment. It's something I plan to do for a long time.”

“Pilates has been an important part of my physical conditioning for many years.
Initially, I turned to Pilates in order to prevent recurring back injuries. Not only did my back problems disappear, but I developed a stronger core, more controlled extension and better turnout. I cannot think of a better method of exercise that can specifically target a ballet dancer's needs and weaknesses. I highly recommend Pilates to any dancer who wants to gain more control over their body and have a long, healthy career. After a few sessions, you'll see the improvement in your muscle tone and in your performance in ballet class!”

“Well, Pilates did the trick...my water started leaking Thursday morning
after my Pilates class on Wednesday night. I went into labor later Thursday
night/Friday morning and had our little baby boy at
10:33 a.m. on Friday, July 14th. Thanks to all of you guys for allowing me to take classes throughout my pregnancy. And thanks so much, Anne, for your expertise and guidance through my pre-natal Pilates sessions.”

“I can’t thank enough for the gift of my Pilates body. Labor would have been so different without it. That’s the best gift I received!”
- Leigh Wilde, after giving birth

“I took up Pilates in January on the recommendation from a doctor. (I had a lower back injury in September.) Studio Lotus is phenomenal. Every instructor has a great eye for detail and precision. I love it all--the clean and modern environment, the classes, and the exceptional one on one instruction. Plus, everyone is very friendly--no snobby folks here. I am amazed at how much stronger I have gotten in three months. The instructors carefully consider your limitations and injuries but push you to that next level. I am addicted :) ”

“I have been going twice a week for the past ten months. I love the results, the instructors and the facility. I knew nothing about Pilates when I started - and they made me feel comfortable from the beginning. They offer a lot of options in terms of pricing, scheduling and skill level. I look forward to it every time I go!”

“I LOVE STUDIO LOTUS! A few years ago I was given the Winsor Pilates DVD set, after a back injury while dancing in high school. I tried the videos and enjoyed them, but I wanted something more. After a lot of time and savings, I decided it was time to start Pilates at a studio. I looked online after moving to Atlanta and found Studio Lotus, and I LOVE IT! I have had about 6 privates and 4 mat classes, and each week gets better and better, I'm already seeing results. The staff is amazing, and they are wonderful teachers. They take the time to correct you and explain things if you are having trouble. Every week I look forward to my work outs and improving on my Pilates skills. Mika is an amazing instructor and I really enjoy working with her. I have also taken with Monika, Anne, and GG, they are all great too! I strongly recommend Studio Lotus, even if you think you have mastered the Pilates videos, studio Pilates under a trained professional is totally different. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!”
