Marla and Kurt KNOW Pilates! They have decades of experience. Both dancers, know training for performance and how to use those techniques to get the best results no matter how old you are or injured. They are compassionate, creative, and caring. You have lots of studios to choose from but Marla Bingham Studio is by far the best.

Have been coming to Pilate reformer classes at this studio for 4 years. The teachers are excellent and you get a great workout. What I like best are the skill and expertise of the teachers and the personal attention. They keep the classes small — no more than five in a class, and sometimes the class is just three of us. They are very tuned in to each client’s level and challenges, even in a group class, and they don’t let you injure yourself. I’ve done a handful of private sessions too and they were tremendously helpful in improving my technique so that I am using the correct muscles when working out and not straining or injuring my back or neck. What I also like is that Marla keeps the equipment and studio clean and in very good condition. Very nice ambiance and a warm and inviting studio. I’m not someone who loves to exercise and I don’t like the big gym scene. This studio and these teachers make it a pleasure to work out. When I go on vacation or miss my workouts with them, I really notice the difference in how I feel physically and mentally. Seems there is an explosion of reformer classes these days but from what I can tell, many of them are being run by non-professionals who don’t have real training in Pilates. Marla and her teachers are the real deal.

Purchased 5 group classes taught by Bruno Artero. He doesn’t have much patience at times but he is great, obviously in great shape and knows what he’s doing. I love the fact that the classes a very small so you received one on one attention. I have done ballet, yoga, etc. and I’ve never felt such a great full body workout. I absolutely love the reformer and would recommend this studio.

Outstanding person and instructor. I took private lessons from Marla for a while(before I had a mortgage$$) and she was great. She always makes you feel like you are her only client, and the workout sessions are customized to your preferences and limitations. She is also a great role model for women over 45, she does the excercises better than women half her age and she looks incredible.
