  • Alex at Black Cat studio has made me so excited and motivated to workout every single day. I didn't know much about Pilates and thought I would give it a try, as I enjoy various degrees of exercise and working out. NOW I AM HOOKED! Pilates provides strength, stability, mobility and targets areas I didn't even know I had! It's helping me surf better, be in better physical shape and motivated for the next workout.

  • I’m absolutely in love with my Pilates reformer classes! The instructors are beyond amazing: kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to every detail of your form and flow. Each class challenges you in the best way, combining strength, control, and grace. I’ve felt my body getting stronger and more aligned with every session. It’s not just a workout, it’s a full-body reset, and I leave every time feeling lighter.

I am so grateful for the awesome instructor and the vibe of every class with new creative positions and challenges every time! I highly recommend Black Cat Pilates to anyone who wants to feel amazing!

  • I love this pilates studio - it's new, clean and with only 6 reformers, it almost feels like you're getting a 1:1. Alex is a great instructor - she's fun but will also put you to work. Her instructions and muscle cues are clear - she also provides adjustments, if needed. This studio is for all - first timers or for those who frequently use pilates. Would highly recommend giving it a try!
