Up Pilates 921 Marina Way South, Richmond, CA 94804

"I am a senior and very new to Brenda’s wonderful studio. It has been life-changing. The studio is extremely clean and Brenda is extremely focused and caring. I have never done Pilates in my 76 years of living but I can already feel how it is, making me strong, I would highly recommend Brenda’s fantastic class to anyone. Brenda is extremely knowledgeable and seems to know exactly what you need. I don’t know how she seems to know this so well but I guess because she was a physical therapist first thank you, Brenda."

"Brenda is an amazing teacher and I cannot recommend her Pilates studio enough! I’ve been going for about 4 months, twice a week. Each class has 3 participants so you receive very attentive instruction. The classes are challenging but not hard, AND fun at the same time! I feel so much more fit and stronger now. Brenda tailors the class to your ability, so you’re getting stronger but on your timetable, essentially. The studio is beautiful. Each class is different so you are never bored. And the key: you feel so much better when you leave than you did coming in. You feel stronger and more stretched at the same time. Take the time to go for an initial assessment with Brenda, for free, and see for yourself!"

"I already love this place. Brenda has brought my love for Pilates back to life and she's gone above and beyond my expectations from an instructor. I have been out of shape since spine surgery 2 years ago (and Covid times). I found this studio after looking for a smaller class size to feel comfortable in. I have been here now for 2 weeks and feel excited to be back at it - feeling strong and challenged in my body!"

"I’m into my fourth month with Brenda (who is outstanding). She always seem to know exactly what is needed. I had awful sciatica that is now almost completely gone. I am 75 and a devoted exercise person. Nothing has compared to this. I feel sooo in my body, so limber and strong - better then ever! So grateful to have found Up Pilates."
