Pilates at the Art of Fitness is second to none. The instructors are terrific. If I go in needing strength, I come out feeling stronger. If I go in needing peace, I come out with more clarity. If I go in with pain, I come out feeling stretched and lengthened. They have mastered the ability to customize each session and I am grateful.
