Freeman Pilates 3172 Morgan Ford Road, St. Louis, MO 63116

"I highly recommend incorporating pilates into your life and there is no better studio than Freeman Pilates. My husband and I started frequenting the studio 5+ years ago. He had excruciating back pain. He tried a chiropractor and PT but working with Emily Freeman is what ultimately led to relief. I no longer go to the chiropractor thanks to the strength I've built and knowledge I've gained from pilates. I have more mobility, strength, and flexibility and as a result I no longer have aches and pains. I feel both challenged and restored after class. The studio is welcoming and has a "pilates is for everyone" approach. In addition to Emily F, I regularly take classes with Emily M, Max, and Ellen. Truly, I cannot recommend pilates and this studio enough!"

"I had a plan to try out several Pilates studios to find the right fit for me, but I stopped after my first class at Freeman Pilates. Maybe it’s the fact that the studio is dripping with beautiful plants in every corner, on the walls, draping over the ceiling–or maybe it’s the great instructors and the results I’ve seen, but I’m hooked. As a powerlifter, I’ve always looked at Pilates negatively - something that is for people who don’t love doing what I do: lifting heavy. I had a hysterectomy in 2021 and haven’t felt in my body ever since. I immediately resumed strength training once I was cleared post-surgery, but I’ve not been able to lift the same numbers. My body didn’t connect the way it used to. Before the hysterectomy, I had several abdominal surgeries, so I’ve fought my way back many times; this time was different. I had tried EVERYTHING. Literally everything. Then, I caved and tried Pilates. I did a 1:1 with Emily and she helped me activate my core using cues I’d never tried before. My numbers immediately shot up. I’m back to lifting weights that I should be able to and it took less than a dozen classes. I love Pilates. It helps me gain mobility and stability, and I leave every class with more energy than I had when I walked in. I'm a very active person; lifting, jiu jitsu, yoga, and now, pilates. Whether you're a newbie or someone who is comfortable in a gym setting, pilates should be added to your workout/movement routine. I have drank the koolaid."

"I am in town visiting and looked for an independent studio close to where I'm staying, So pleased that I chose this one! The studio is lovely and well equipped and the teacher, Crissy, was great. The studio where I practice at home needs to seriously upgrade! I plan to go there as often as I can when I'm in town and try different classes/teachers."

"Emily is awesome. She takes the time to address individual needs. Her instructions are clear. I appreciate how great I feel after a session, but I also find that I'm more mindful of my movements and posture in general for days after a session. I can't recommend this studio enough."

"From the website: “The studio follows a 24 hour cancellation policy for all private sessions, semi-private sessions, and classes. If you do not cancel within 24 hours, you will be charged the full cost of your reserved service.” This policy seems to apply to students, but not instructors. Instructors can cancel with 8 hours notice — twice in 5 days. Hopefully students are allowed to cancel on the day of class if they have a cold, too."
