I am sincerely and thoroughly impressed at the attention and awareness that Laney taught me and shared with me through her cues and exercises. I am new to Pilates, but feel very thankful to have had my first session with a Master trainer and teacher.

Great instructors, wonderful space

Excellent instructors.    Clean /Efficient space.   Pleased

This is the best Pilates I have found in Charlotte.  As a former professional dancer, I tend to be highly critical of instructors but this experience exceeded any of my expectations.  Laney could spot every compensation or substitution my body tried to pull and cued and reduced resistance and repeated until I got it right.  The session wasn’t a workout class but an exercise in movement efficiency and postural alignment.  I left feeling taller and more balanced in my body. I highly recommend this studio.

Today I was thrilled and thankful to study with the extraordinary Pilates pro, Laney Abernethy, at Pilates Body Shaping (PBS). The entire team at PBS preserves Joe Pilates' original system of body conditioning at the highest levels. This is strong traditional Pilates for every woman, man, young adult and child. Laney provided an excellent combination of seriously challenging exercises, educational guidance, good humor, positive approach and collaborative spirit!! Here is my recommendation: Enjoy an excellent workout at PBS and live life with enhanced strength, flexibility, coordination and mental focus. Living the movement makes the difference!!

Lovely true pilates studio! Loved attending the CPE today! Looking forward for next time!

First visit was way better than I expected. Cassandra clearly knew what she was doing and was most helpful.  The signup was easy and after this first session today, I’m all set for five more. Pilates Body Shaping is another gem in the Elizabeth neighborhood!

Relocated from Newport Beach  CA and FINALLY found a Reformer Pilates studio extremely talented and professional but actually wants clients and willing to give us excellent service , from the first call to, first class, booked 10 classes .. done!  In a world were customer service is dying, NOT hear.
I also called and tried to go to 4 other studio, never returned calls, no sense of urgency and didn't seem to value clients.   Cassandra is great!

Wow, this was my first time ever trying Pilates and it will not be my last. I started on the recommendation of my physical therapist after chronic low back pain and an injury.

They did not shame me for cursing a bit louder than I intended today.  For that, I am thankful.
Pilates feels unique among exercises in that the longer you do it, the harder it seems to get.  You can become adept at the exercises, but there is always an additional layer that challenges your core in an unexpected way.  Today's challenge prompted an eff bomb.  As always though, at the end of class I am happy to have ridden the struggle bus to the studio.  Thanks, Cara!
