Awesome instructors ❤️❤️
Quality teachers, convenient location.
The instructor was great! She was so sweet and did a great job at explaining and guiding me through my first class!
The small, personal-able studio. All were friendly and Gayle’s instruction in the intro class was great.
Love the beautiful studio. Love the instructors, especially Cathy and Jordan - they are professional, creative and keep it moving. The music could be better - Cathy has some current and interesting music but some of the instructors seem to just play the same old playlist every time. The app is straightforward and easy to use
Instructors are so well trained and knowledgeable. Very attentive to injuries, modifications, and safety. But FUN, energetic and never boring. We never do the exact same routine and there are always creative ways they come up with to work the muscles with the reformer!
Good instructors
Convenient location
Variety of class schedules to select
The instructor was clear and professional and the space was very nice and clean.
I love how efficient the workout is. I’m in and out in 50 minutes and I’ve worked out my whole body. And though it’s challenging it’s also in a way relaxing. The instructors provide clear instructions for what to do and also explain why we are doing certain things, making each move purposeful. I’ve been doing this for three months now and I really can see and feel a difference.
Friendly instructor, nice studio, good workout
I enjoy most of the instructors. I really enjoy getting in shape and getting stronger. The others that I have met in class has been so much fun.
Classes are different . It’s not boring
All around is a great set up good teachers.
Certain instructors are outstanding and I love the many different class times available.
Great instructors!
I love the variety of classes and the number offered. Something for everyone. I particularly like the challenging classes that Gina and Joanne offer.
I LOVE RTR Pilates! The instructors are lovely...welcoming, knowledgeable, fun, and kind! The facilities (Potomac and Chevy Chase) are clean, sunny, and well-maintained. I am so thankful to have found RTR Pilates!
Tom is superb
Specific teachers - hands-down, the quality and preparedness of the teachers makes the class. I’ve found my favorites - Jordan and Cathy S, and I will drive 20 min to a different studio just to take a class with one of them. I wish there were more consistency in the teachers because there’s a huge variance between the best and the others.
The instructors are very professional but also warm and inviting. The locations are spaced out so well so no matter where you live you have a studio close by and the times for classes are so convenient.
Jillian is a good Pilates instructor. Her classes have been highly focused on the lower body with lots of foot work and many repetitions. More recently her class seems to be evolving to more of a full body workout which is appreciated and preferred.
Each instructor is fantastic. I'm impressed by the consistency in ability of them. A challenge when attending sessions with the same instructor each week, I find there is less variation in the class and the exercises can get stale. It's not the case for all instructors, but some seem to have their "go to" class which makes me want find a new time/instructor so I can get more variety (shake things up).
It’s a GREAT workout and is building muscle and flexibility! Absolutely LOVE the work I am prompted to do—so good for my body and mental health!
Everything!
Great teacher, comfortable salon!
I think almost all of the teachers are really terrific. I don't care for the Friday line-up of teachers at Palisades, but all other days have great instructors.
I'm pregnant and really appreciate how much knowledge a few of the instructors have about modifications for pregnancy and injuries -- especially Kristen....she is really fantastic about differentiating exercises. I feel really confident attending her class, as well as Jean Marie and Julie's classes because of their knowledge and support. Caitlin is also terrific.
One thing I've been wanting to mention for awhile -- In general, it would be great to have a little more stretching incorporated in all the classes - especially longer hold times. Everyone except Olga is good about including stretching (but she's only been there as a sub so not as relevant for the Palisades location but she really needs to add stretching to her classes), but it can be rushed....Christianna devotes the most time to stretching in between exercises and I think it really improves the workout.
the spaces and most of all the teachers! Jordan's class was dynamite!
