Studio is clean and welcoming, teachers are pleasant and really well informed. Tammra's knowledge of the body and the movements is really impressive! I love that she really explains the movements and the intentions behind them. I really feel challenged in every class, plus they're fun!

Pilates of Marin has proven a godsend! My trainer John K has accomplished what accupuncture, chiropractic and deep tissue massage has not. I am now walking without pain. No mobility issues! I wish I had started this modality sooner. John's instinctive approach is tailored to personal needs and capabilities. He's the business' best asset. I cannot give a loud enough shout-out. Grazie di tutto!

This is a review for just one of the instructors at this studio...Evan Rachel Oneill. Before she moved to this studio, she was my go-to pilates instructor in Los Angeles, California. She focused on moving with solid breathing, had a way of making me leaner and toner than any other high-impact workout has ever made me, and helped make a killer hour long workout fly by because of her unique, charismatic style. She made working out fun, challenging, and most importantly, informative!
I know she's doing transformative work in the fitness lives of those she meets everywhere she goes! She set

Evan Oneill is one of the best Pilates teachers I have had. She is energetic, enthusiastic, encouraging and her knowledge of the structural system is on point! Having been a trained dancer in previous years, she is very well versed in how muscles develop and she pushes you to obtain the highest technique. I highly recommend her classes. They are both challenging fun. You will see results very quickly!

"I have found that Pilates of Marin offers classes that are not only challenging and but also very beneficial. My core strength has improved tremendously since joining. In addition, my appendages such as feet and hands have strengthened and become more flexible! Most importantly Tammra explains every movement thoroughly. The 'whys' and 'hows' along with the history of Pilates adds an enrichment and understanding that I had not found at other studios. "

I have been with my Pilates instructor at Pilates of Marin for a number of years now. Tammra does her best to make the environment professional and comfortable. If you are looking for a Pilates studio, I would highly recommend speaking with her to see if this would be a good fit for you. Experience does make a difference.

After trying another studio, I found Tammra at Pilates of Marin, and have been attending her small group classes for nearly 2 years. I've been able to stabilize and even improve my chronic back pain (whereas my brother needed surgery for the same congenital problem). The class times are very convenient for me and the class environment is congenial. In addition, there is a lot of variety in Tammra's use of her different pieces of equipment, so I never get bored! As a physician I also appreciate Tammra's deep understanding of the physiology of Pilates and her desire to educate us

I started at Pilates of Marin over 2 years ago, to get some exercise and reduce stress. The evening and weekend classes work with my schedule. Tammra and her staff are knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I feel stronger and more connected to my body. The thoughtfulness Tammra put into her studio is reflected in the quality of the instructors, quality of the classes, quality of the equipment, and the cleanliness of the studio.

I have just started to do pilates and Tammra, the owner of Pilates of Marin, came highly recommended. I have been going to her for several months now and she has been very patient and helpful in trying to relieve my chronic back pain. Stretching is what I need most and she has taught me many exercises that I can supplement my treatments at home as well as in the studio. I am on the right path and will continue to work with her as my decades old posture mistakes are corrected.

For a guy who "didn't want to try it", I came out a true believer. Had several great sessions with top-notch instructor Jamaica Janowicz (highly recommended). Pilates of Marin is clean, inspiring, and professional. I'll be back and suggest you give it a try.

My wife and I have been with Pilates of Marin (now Real People Pilates) for three years and we love it there. They have a complete set of high quality equipment and the instructors are the best. We really can't recommend RPP enough as an enjoyable yet rigorous place to train.

Pilates of Marin is the best! The instructors are knowledgeable, well-trained, enthusiastic and kind. The studio is spacious, well-maintained, and has a warm, welcoming feeling. My trainer pays attention to where I am physically and is sensitive to a healing shoulder, making adjustments for me in exercises when necessary to assure both my safety and the best possible work out. Best of all: my body feels and looks great! If you are looking for a great pilates studio or an introduction to pilates, Pilates of Marin is the place.

I knew I had to start doing something; aging, weight gain, back and hip pain were getting me down. I did some research and found Pilates of Marin and have been going to classes since February. I love it. I'm still aging, the extra pounds are still there, but the back pain is gone. I try to go at least 3 times a week for a quad (no more than 4 people) and would love to be able to fit in 4-5 days a week. I always feel better when I leave; taller, looser and more fit. Mary R is great for the beginner (very into form and doing things correctly) and the owner, Shelly is fabulous. The new
