Movement Lab

I’ve been seeing Julie for private Pilates and Gyrotonics for over two years. Her knowledge and awareness of the human body is kind of mind boggling, and yet she’s obviously continuing to learn and bring new ideas and tools into her studio and practice.
I work with her for a combination of mobility, core strength, and awareness of my body that I use in the other things I do, including Crossfit. We worked together through my pregnancy and postpartum, and she adapts the session to whatever stage my body is at, and what I’m needing that day. It feels like such a bargain to have Julie’s attention for an hour every week!

I found Julie online after wondering about Gyrotonics for years. I started out with her special 3 provate sessions for $ 150.00, an awesome deal.
I have a chronic pain in my hip and I am a bellydance instructor, I have found that the work I’m doing with Julie is greatly reducing my day to day pain. I am excited beyond words about this! Also Julie is truly a ray of sunshine. I like her clean open small friendly space.
I have now started pilates with her since I feel rehabilitated enough to get in shape and I’m happy about that too!

I’ve been doing Pilates for 8 years with many instructors and have learned more about my posture, muscles and movement from Julie than all of the rest of the others put together.
Julie provides helpful feedback in the sweetest way. Her classes are well structured and she gives individual attention to ensure everyone gets the benefit of each movement.
I’m only sorry I didn’t find her sooner!

I had seen the reviews for Julie and her studio on Unilocal and decided to use her private rate special for first time customers.
I can confirm that she is super super knowledgeable and totally tailors your sessions to your individual needs. She is kind, caring, patient. She is fantastic instructor. I highly recommend taking advantage of her private classes’ special. I have tried out other teachers in the past and she is definitely in my top two list of favorite all time teachers.
I plan to definitely keep recommending her to friends who especially need some rehab work. You will not be disappointed and you will get results.

I was new to San Francisco and Pilates when I started going to Movement Lab — not only have Pilates changed my life but classes with Julie have become a major highlight in my week. Julie is an incredibly patient, thoughtful and challenging instructor who works with your needs, abilities and goals. I am so thankful to have Julie and Movement Lab in the hood.

Julie is SO amazing! She has really helped to relieve the tension in my lower back and the front of my hips! Her classes are great, yet the one-​on-​one privates really help to figure out problem areas. Clean studio and always a happy environment. :)

Julie’s classes are really rigorous yet totally fun and relaxed. Exactly the combo I love. I get a great work out while I get to also be pleasantly distracted by the natural flow of the class. She certainly knows her stuff and is very attentive to each student as well as a fantastic multi-​tasker (she really lets those skills shine during toddler and me classes!) Total two thumbs up. This has been such a great discovery after a few yoga injuries… Much more my speed these days. I even sent my 67 year old mom while she was visiting from NY and she loved it. I think Julie can offer a high quality class to just about anyone from toddlers to seniors and everyone in between.

Fabulous studio and instructor! My son and I participate in a «baby and me» pilates class once a week. It’s a very comfortable space. I look forward to the class every week: D
The instructor (Julie) is really sweet and gentle — she encourages us to work at a comfortable pace while still maintaining a constant flow of pilates work. A friend advised me of Movement Lab.

«If it’s not broken, don’t fix it» are NOT words to live by when it comes to your body. A lot of aches and pains are what brought me to Pilates and to Movement Studio, and as I approach my 50^th birthday, I’ve realized that It’s time for some new behavior.
Julie Binkley is the director/​teacher at Movement Studio. It’s an awesome studio with lots of light in a quiet Mission neighborhood. Julie’s a thoughtful, patient instructor who’s able to demonstrate what Pilates is all about — even to a gorilla like me (if you think you’re strong in the gym, try Pilates. It’s an entirely different workout). The sessions are challenging and I leave feeling a few inches taller AND my workouts in the gym are more productive, as well.
Stop taking the ibuprofen and get yourself over to Movement Lab to re-​train your body. I guarantee you’ll enjoy yourself, have fun and leave feeling great!

Everyone keeps telling me i look really good lately!
It’s because i see Julie twice a week!
She is my favorite pilates instructor of all time, and i have had quite a few.
She has a great teaching attitude, is really nice, and pays attention to specific issues i have. and being a hairdresser, i have a lot!
Her space is great, it’s got a nice, cozy and calm vibe.
I’m so glad i have found Julie, and Movement Lab!
