Pilates At Play, LLC 219 Legion Way Southwest, Olympia, WA 98501

"Feels like just what my body needs. It's been a couple of years since I've been doing Pilates and Im grateful to see how my body changed. My muscles are lengthening following 2 back surgeries and I have a lot more mobility. About 5 months ago, my boyfriend joined me and he too is benefiting. We love Trisha, she's attentive, knowledgeable and hilarious. She makes pilates fun."

"I've been taking mat classes and small group or private reformer classes for almost 7 years now. My time here is an essential part of my health and mental well being. The classes are well taught by highly trained and experienced instructors. If you've tried Pilates at a larger gym or by watching something online and didn't like it, you will find the experience here very different! The instructors are so in tune with where I am, they tailor their instruction to what I need, and I have never hurt afterwards. They have helped me get in tune with my body in new ways. And the core work has improved my posture and breathing. I actually did Pilates breathing when my child was born 4 years ago. Since then, I've gone to the studio as I dealt with PPD and the stresses of being a working mom. The atmosphere is caring, loving, and nurturing. I highly recommend it!"

"Pilates at Play is the real deal. Trisha is absolutely fabulous. Routines are never the same and she mixes it up with balls, springs, rolls, etc. She is so good at describing the moves with such imagery. It’s fun to see what she comes up with. Whether you’re interested in group mat classes or more private apparatus, this is the place. I have attended for 10 years now and love it! She also always suggests ways to make all levels of ability feel comfortable. The downtown location is wonderful and allows for a convenient way to experience Olympia before or after class for a bite to eat, drinks, and/or shopping. I would highly recommend Pilates at Play to anyone!"

"I love doing Pilates! It is a way to exercise that challenges me but can still be done when not everything moves the way one wants it to. All in all, I love that the studio is downtown, close to where I work; the atmosphere is casual and friendly; the decor gloriously funky; and the workout so satisfying, whether on the apparatus or on the mats."

"My mom first introduced me to Trish's Pilates classes years ago when I was living in China and would come back for a visit in the summer. Since moving to Olympia, I have regularly been attending the mat classes with my mom the last 4 years. I love the way Trish works with us to tailor a package that meets our availability needs. Each class is always different (whether we use the Magic Circle, stretch band, springs, big exercise ball, small ball, sashes, giant rubber bands, or any combo of the previous) and matched to the needs of the individuals signed up. Trish always asks what part of our bodies are sore, sensitive, or need work. Typically there are 6 in our group classes but sometimes we get even more attention with 3! I love it for how loosened and relaxed I feel after the hour. I could not keep up with all my hiking if it weren't for Pilates to get my out-of-whack body back in alignment and muscles loosened. While my core still isn't where I'd like it to be (genetics), I have little by little strengthened it and again PIlates works hand-in-hand with my hiking to make a me a stronger hiker with better balance and control on the trail. Heather is also great and if Trish has to miss class for whatever reason, she lets you take Heather's classes. I love the bar Pilates as a change from my regular mat classes. You can sign up for a split package where you take classes from both instructors. FYI, there are many other types of classes and a few other instructors, but my only experience has been with Trish and Heather."
