BetterBody Fitness

Better Body Pilates is an exceptional studio. We recently had a workout session with Mari, who is undoubtedly a superb instructor. I have also experienced workouts with the other instructors at Better Body, and I can attest that they are all terrific. I wholeheartedly recommend this Pilates studio.

I recently attended my first pilates class with Mari at Betterbody Fitness after completing many many classes at Club Pilates. Going into my session with Mari I felt ready to take on a more in depth training to see exactly where my Pilates practice was at. And let me tellll you Mari completely excelled in giving me the full body workout I've been seeking. The hour long session with Mari felt above and beyond what I am used to. Considering that the lowest spring available on the Reformer at Club Pilates is a blue spring and the workouts are often limited because instructors play it very safe and are way too concerned about clients potentially hurting themselves.

It felt great to be encouraged to try more challenging and control based pilates moves. During my session with Mari we used the yellow spring requiring more control which was new to me, but challenging in the best way. She introduced me to at least 3/4 different principle pilates moves I had never tried before. Mari was attentive and maintained dialogue throughout our session about muscle engagement. She went the extra mile in using her PT skills to evaluate my form and reminded when to lift or pivot to better maintain form. The studio was clean and the general environment felt great. I can’t wait to attend more pilates sessions with Mari and master that yellow spring! Thank you Mari for your good energy and expertise!

I am completely new to Pilates and have been nervous to start with classes because I took a long break from fitness due to covid and having two babies, and I was afraid of injuring myself. So I decided to sign up for a private session with Mari, the owner of Better Body. She is so sweet, personable, and easy to talk to. She was helpful in assisting me with my form and ensuring proper body mechanics, and was super informative on what I needed to work on and helped me activate muscles in my body I forgot existed haha! After our first session yesterday, I am immediately hooked! Today I am so sore but in the best way possible. I look forward to continuing my fitness journey here, and continuing my private sessions with Mari and group sessions in the future.

Michal teaches the BEST Pilates class. It is challenging but, more importantly, she watches your form and corrects you to avoid injury and to make sure you are getting the most out of the workout. I also love that classes are a full hour.

We absolutely love BetterBody Fitness!! It’s been amazing working with Michelle Krok and seeing my 15 year old daughter get stronger and more flexible each week. Michelle brings such a positive energy to the experience and her knowledge of Pilates is unsurpassed. The facility/equipment is always super clean. Highly recommend !!
