We hear you - viewed from afar, the Pilates Reformer or Gyrotonic Tower might look like it time-warped here from the Middle Ages. And it does have sort of a judgmental name. But we promise it's not a torture device! Our Reformers have their roots in the original Pilates equipment, which Joseph Pilates made out of hospital beds to rehabilitate wounded soldiers during World War I. Reformer springs give your body both resistance and support.
Are you feeling like it is time to get out of the house and do something for yourself? Feel the energy and benefits of pain free movement. Pilates and Gyrotonic private and small group sessions are an exercise program with longevity. Never get bored with the endless possibilities in your custom program.
Studio Evolve is a boutique Pilates and GYROTONIC studio in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle offering privates, semi-private sessions and small classes online and in person since 2006. Our focus is individualized sessions for discerning clients looking for high quality instruction and outstanding customer service.
If you're alive, you're moving. Pilates makes the journey more joyful, by strengthening key core muscles that stabilize healthy posture. So you can ride the current that wants to carry you, while staying centered (and re-centered, and re-centered again) on your board. Place your hands on your low belly.
The Gyrotonic Method is a unique movement method that addresses the entire person, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength. The equipment and your trainer give support for you to find your most expanded and fluid movement. The Gyrotonic Method supports injuries, stretches overworked spots, and weaves together your strength and flexibility.

Can't recommend this place enough. Always highly professional, communicative, transparent, clean, and overall a pleasant experience. Colleen gave me an amazing sleeve with gorgeous artwork and colors, and it was great working with her from beginning to end.

My first tattoo here wasn’t great because the artist was unreliable. However, management was great when I brought it to their attention and now I’m working with Jamie who has been awesome! I look forward to finishing my current tat and moving on to others!

The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect for a highly rated tattoo shop. Very professional yet down to earth and fun. Amy B was awesome at what she does. I have had lots of tattoos and this by far was the least painful and probably the best line work I have to show. Highly recommend. Every one was knowledgeable and kind it was a very fun experience!

I got my first tattoo today. A friend drew my tattoo, and after talking to the artist, he took the time to put it together in a way that makes it look even more amazing. Great attention to detail, and awesome style.. Thanks again Matt.
That is also, just one, of the many artists at this place... All of them have something amazing to offer.

Got my first ever tattoo on my forearm from Kevin. Absolutely amazing work and comfortable (as comfortable as a tattoo can be) experience for my first. He was very open to my ideas, but made sure I was set up with a piece that would last and looked good, capturing everything I was looking for. Friendly and clean environment.
I look forward to working with him again in the near future!!!

Jamie Cary listened with extreme patience during my consultation. He took my traditional tattoo idea (which was kind of kooky) and turned it into a design that blew away my expectations. The process at this shop is extremely well done. I can tell the scheduling process is beneficial to both the clients and the artists. There’s no rushing people in and out of the shop. There’s a reason they keep winning the Virginia pilot’s best tattoo shop banners every year since 2013. Legit I highly recommend for first timers and veterans of tattooing

Came in after calling to see if they had walk in availability. Staff was super friendly and informative, since it was my first tattoo. Jamie did an amazing job working with me based off my rough sketch and ideas. Will definetly be going back for more ink in the future. My artist is on Instagram @ tattoosbyjamiecary

Thank you Martine and Staff....you have faced the challenge and exceeded expectations. I have continued attending my Pilates classes 3X per week while complying with the "stay at home " guidelines. Your rapid response to the changing environment has been much appreciated. The " Zoom" app works very well. I fall into the older adult age group and am not without some technical challenges when it comes to new things. I have not had any issues with setting up the app or joining my class when scheduled. I believe the high quality of instruction and individualized attention the studio

I'm pretty active and unfortunately injured my lower back. I started doing pilates on the reformer and it has helped me so much! Celeste is the most amazing teacher ever! She has taught me so much about form, and her classes are fun. Her words of wisdom carry over to my daily activities, and I'm so much more aware of how I carry myself due to her help. Yay for injury prevention and getting stronger! Her classes have helped my lower back so much that I'm able to run again, which I had really been missing. I wish I had started this sooner!

I have been taking reformer classes at this studio for about 5 months now and it has changed my whole outlook on my fitness. As an endurance triathlete, I am excited about how much more body aware pilates has made me during my swim, bike, run sessions. I am using my core a lot more now and am seeing performance gains due to my consistent classes. I have taken classes from three different instructors, and while they all have different styles, I always get a good workout and I'm glad I made the effort to come to class. Financially, the commitment is a stretch, but so far it has been a good investment

I've never done Pilates before - so I'm not sure if I can give an accurate comparison review... but I have definitely been to gyms before, had private training sessions and have been involved in dance for many years. I absolutely love Studio Evolve! I just completed my second session - and I'm most definitely already addicted.
Hannah is awesome! She kicked my butt today (upon request, of course) and I loved every minute. An excellent coach, she's informed, gentle, and in-tune. She was able to give me easy, simple examples and analogies to help me "picture" the

I haven't stopped talkin about this place! My private lesson with Sophia was amazing. It was my first time on a reformer and she was the perfect teacher/assistant/fitness friend. I was able to ask her questions and she answered them. I will not go back to yoga as my main workout because I love the energy I get from the pilates jump class.

I have been meaning to write this review for quite a while as I have been going to this studio since it opened up.
Location: very central and easy to get to plus I can most always find parking right outside..this is important to me and I have personally left other urban studios due to parking challenges. I live in Ballard, commute to the Eastside and usually work out on my way back home.

I love doing Gyrotonic with Karen! She keeps me moving and Gyrotonic makes a huge different with my neck and back - I spend a lot of time in front of a computer. It's really satisfying to get in my car after a session and adjust my rear view mirror up.
The studio space is really nice and all of the instructors are very friendly.

Fantastic instructors and a beautiful studio too!!
I started coming to this studio a year ago as a client and after trying several other studios in the area, I am not only still a client, but an instructor as well. This is the place to be if you are looking for a warm, friendly Pilates home that offers a diversity of instructor styles to suit your needs. I find that each of the instructors really cares about the personal development of their clients and I feel my sessions are always tailor made to me.

We just finished a session of Pilates at Studio Evolve, and loved it!
We've been doing Pilates for about 3 years, mat work only, and wanted to try a studio with more equipment. Wow! If you've never tried "The Reformer", you really ought to. It isolates core muscle groups, but that's not all - they also have Pilates "Chairs" and an assortment of other gadgets, i.e. hand weights, foam half-noodles, and above all, the indescribable "Cadillac".
The instructor was attentive, ruthless and encouraging. She got us the absolutely best workout we could!
