I have been going here for about a year now and it’s both the kindest studio I have ever been to and the most technical. The teachers care about their craft and really get to know you. The trainee program seems great as well, and staff members welcoming. I appreciate walking through the door each week. Cannot recommend enough.

I’ve been training weekly for over a year with Ryan, one of the instructors. It’s made a world of difference in my flexibility, strength and overall wellness. I recommend the studio and Ryan to anyone looking to start or improve their fitness journey. I’ve been amazed at how working on my core agility has improved all facets of my strength training and other activities.

The classes and instructors are great, but the rules surrounding what classes you can join and when are very prohibitive and counterproductive. You have to start at a low level, but there are never available classes (they fill up lightning fast) and then to progress to a higher level you have to get clearance, but that doesn't translate to the online booking portal. The process is wildly flawed and frustrating. Additionally, their pass expiration dates are not realistic (you may not use all the classes by the expiration date because there aren't enough classes available).

While I have only taken Reformer classes here, I found the instruction at this studio top notch! Teachers have many years--if not decades--experience with the Pilates Method. Administrative staff members are friendly, helpful, and responsive. The studio is bright, airy, and very pleasant overall. I recommend it highly to anyone interested in studying classic Pilates!

Since I began practicing Pilates at Excel Pilates DC, I’ve improved my core strength and flexibility overall. Feeling stronger and more capable provides a degree of personal confidence that I find quite gratifying. The instructors at the Excel studio are knowledgeable, as well as helpful and encouraging. Their interest in my performance inspires me to try harder. It also helps that they all seem to have the patience of Job. I’m a senior citizen and I’ve had my share of sports- and exercise-related injuries over the years. I appreciate the expert guidance and oversight provided by the instructors at the Excel studio. Their expertise imbues in me a confidence to attempt challenging exercises that I probably shouldn’t even consider, much less attempt, on my own. Thanks to the instructors, I have surprised myself more than once with what I am able to do. After a workout at Excel I feel invigorated. My energy levels are higher and I feel satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. Good health and fitness are not things that simply occur—I must work for them. I believe that if you want to be active, you must stay active. I recommend Pilates at Excel Pilates as a good way to be active for almost anyone.
