Pilates Detroit is honestly the BEST. A girlfriend and I started with Duet Sessions with Allison in April, and instantly fell in love. Allison is beyond thorough and makes it a very safe space to learn and grow. I was a true beginner, had never taken a Pilates class prior. After some semi-private sessions I was able to join the normal classes with ease. Beth and Nikki are also so wonderful, encouraging and hold great classes. I crave these classes/movement and am excited to get back into a regular routine after the summer. My body has never felt stronger. Thank you Allison & team! ♥️

Thank you very much Allison and Beth!!😃

I’ve been training with Allison and the Pilates Detroit team for a year. It has been a transformative experience. This group of women bring extraordinary skill and intuition to their work. As a 75 year old woman -I cannot say enough about the impact the Pilates Detroit team has had on my mobility and flexibility as I account for the impacts of aging. This group of women bring out your best- your strength and your joy. Thank you. I look forward to year 2!

Allison and Pilates Detroit are great! Allison is a kind and thoughtful instructor. She keeps work outs challenging while tailoring them to client’s needs. She is very attentive in making sure alignment and posture are correct so the work out is most productive and safe. Love working out at Pilates Detroit.

Because she is an athlete, Allison used her knowledge of physical therapy to strengthen and improve my range of motion for both shoulder & back muscle strains to keep me playing pain free tennis.
