Willow Wellness Center

I attended my first reformer Pilates class and loved it! The instructor let me know how to modify movements for my body; since I currently have a weak core and am overweight. She was super supportive and encouraging. The beginner level class was just enough of a challenge to really push myself, and not to become discouraged.

I would like to say that Miranda personally took interest in helping me physically and nutritionally change my health. I also lost weight and strengthened my core, which helped with injury prevention. I've learned so much from talking pilates classes! Prior to my daughter's wedding, I was determined to go down 2 sizes in clothes. I have accomplished my goal, and maintained a size 4 for the past couple years since I started classes. However, the benefits of the pilates classes have not been limited to physical change. Mentally, I am a stronger woman and I am much happier. I am also older, and have realized I can no longer run half-marathons and do some of the exercises I used to be able to do. This has been a wonderful substitute and I have met some amazing women in my classes.

I have taken about 5  beginner classes and each class has has been different and all have been great workouts. It’s amazing how many different exercises you can perform on a reformer. Love coming!!

Willow Wellness is located in an oasis in the heart of Scottsdale. The office complex is  inviting with small  buildings surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The studio is small and functional and good for small classes. I had taken a couple of private Pilate classes in the past and this was my first group class. I really enjoyed it! Miranda is a terrific instructor . With a maximum of only 4 students in a class Miranda was great ensuring we were doing the exercises properly and adjusting the tension of the reformers when necessary. I love doing Pilates with the reformers. I do not live in Scottsdale full time but I have already purchased classes for when I return.

I only had one Pilate class prior to my visiting the Wellness center
My instructor was fantastic . She made sure my form was always correct before executing
The exercise. I enjoyed the small intimate, quiet environment . I will make this studio my go to  place for Pilates. I loved the one on one attention .

I have never done Pilates except for some leg lifts on a mat. I have done weights and yoga for years, and have discovered through Pilates that I have some inactive muscles. This may explain why I injure easily and fail to gain strength. Miranda has the perfect balance of giving me a good workout while working on stabilization of the pelvis and shoulder girdle. I also love the enviornment. Unlike many of the pilates studios which pack them in such a way that little instruction is provided, this studio provides an intimate environment so that careful instruction is provided. This makes the learning curve much easier. The studio also provides therapies such as cryo and floating to assist the body in stress release and repair.

First time doing cryotherapy and now I'm a believer. Staff was great and so was my treatment. Absolutely going back!

If you have never done pilates before as I hadn't but looking for something to rid your stiffness, lack of flexibility and improve your all around health, then just "show up" the first time and I guarantee you will know you have found right where you need to be to gain your confidence, health and strength back. Miranda, the owner understands the body chemistry science and anatomy and also the mindset of knowing when to push and when to be gentle. I love the intimacy of the classes whether you want one on one attention or a few others to share your goals with, this is the place to BE! Miranda said the first 10 weeks you will feel different and the second 10 weeks you will see the difference and its so true, from posture to strength to toning and oh so much more!

I’ve been coming here for 8 months and my body has never looked better! This is my 4th Pilates studio and I’m so glad I found Miranda. She keeps her classes small and personalizes the exercises to her students. She pushes you hard everyday which is the best part. Other studios get easy after awhile. It starts to feel like a waste of money. Miranda’s classes have YET to feel easy. And my body really benefits!

I love this studio. It's comfortable, well equipped, and the instructor really knows her stuff.
