Pilates Central is awesome! I have attended classes and private sessions and both are great. Vanessa is an excellent teacher. She explains how to do the exercises in a way that is relatable and is supportive. Classes are great to connect with other Pilates enthusiasts and private sessions help solidify the concepts in a one on one atmosphere. I highly recommend this Pilates studio!
Fantastic boutique studio! I have been practicing Pilates here for close to 10 years. For those that are curious to those that are advanced, you'll get an awesome workout at Pilates Central. Your body will thank you :)
Over 12 years ago, I wanted to learn Pilates. I attended different classes looking for a good match for an instructor. Pilates was hard and confusing for me--but I didn't give up looking for a good match. Luckily, I found Vanessa Washicheck. Immediately, Pilates "clicked" for me (it is still hard but I am no longer confused). She is so incredibly knowledgable, professional, patient and gives the best cues ever! I have seen her (at least twice a week) for the last 12 years. Vanessa Pilates has made an incredible difference in my life--I am currently 74 and am healthy and strong. I will always be thankful that I found her. Susan Schmitz
Vanessa and all of the other instructors are the top in the pilates (especially classical pilates method). They are very professional and tailor the workout to your needs and abilities. Whether you are considering pilates for improving your general health or increasing strength and flexibility, they have you covered. You can come in brand new or with a range of experience and they will provide a great, challenging session. Pilates reformer machines, mat and tower work. I have enjoyed taking pilates at Pilates Central and have seen great improvement in my physical ability, as well as, just a lift in mood and spirit.
I was in town visiting my brother, and was fortunate enough to be able to work with Vanessa. It was an amazing session. I have never been instructed in Pilates, and she created such a positive introduction for me. She was very patient, and explained things so well - I left there feeling good about myself and my body. I highly recommend Pilates Central as a place to go to learn about Pilates in a safe, professional and welcoming setting.
