Teresa Shupe started Atlas Pilates in a small rented room in Seattle 2008 after teaching Pilates in big studios for over 15 years. She knew from experience how Pilates could change lives for the better, and she set out to prove that it was not just for the elite, that the highest quality Pilates could be accessible and affordable.
The Pilates method is rooted in the idea that humans of all ages are remarkably resilient and capable of growth and recovery. Effective Pilates workouts are revitalizing for the body and mind. The system consists of a well-defined series of progressive exercises to be performed with control at a brisk pace in the right order.
Our expert instructors have taught hundreds of interactive online Pilates workouts this year, and the response from clients has been overwhelmingly positive. We offer personalized Privates and Semi-Private Workouts with your favorite teachers by appointment six days per week. Interactive personalized Private online lessons are a lot like you experience in our studio, but you workout in your own space.
Atlas Pilates clean and bright studio is fully equipped with classical Pilates apparatus. The interior design emphasizes pure function, allowing you to focus on the work and maximally benefit from our personal Pilates instruction. Our Gratz Pilates exercise apparatus was fabricated in strict accordance with the original specifications of Joe Pilates and he spent more than 30 years using the same designs in his own studio.
Atlas Pilates studio is located at the intersection of 3rd Ave and Cedar Street in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. We're on the ground floor of the Alto Apartments building near Seattle Center and the Space Needle. There is (usually) abundant street parking and surface parking. 3rd Ave is Seattle's most active bus corridor and there are many public transportation options.

Light filled and great location.

Easy on street parking.

I have 1:1 sessions and they have taught me so much about right movement tailored for me.

If you have only taken group classes before that you just on a mat, this is totally different.

Money well spent and an investment in my spine's health.

Just finished the fundamentals workshop at Atlas Pilates. Unbelievably amazing learning experience. While I have been an instructor in Prescott and Scottsdale Ariz for over 8 years and attended many training seminars and workshops I have to say, without a doubt this was the best. Lori Colman Brown and Danielle Begorre taught the workshop with humor and valuable information. They made the workshop easy to understand and most importantly had a kind and genuine approach so I felt extremely comfortable to participate. Thank you Lori and Danielle for a wonderful experience.

Wonderful team of practitioners and lovely people. After a car accident at 50, and a hip resurfacing and recovery, I had five years of pain in spite of PT and rolfing. This studio basically fixed all of that. Now I'm strong, pain free and continue to improve my posture, strength and flexibility.

Wanted to try a new studio out while spending the night in Seattle (I am from Tacoma and go to a Basi Studio in the area). The staff here was super friendly, responsive, and really helpful. I ended up scoring a private lesson because nobody else showed up for the 8 am mat class. My instructor was really knowledgeable and very aware of what my body needed. I would recommend this studio to anyone looking for a new place to try or a long term studio to practise. It was also very clean

I've been a Pilates student for a number of months here and can't rave enough about all the teachers here! I've especially enjoyed my time with Hannah, Isabel, and new teacher Dominque! Thank you for showing me how to lengthen my posture, develop my powerhouse, and feel healthier every single time! I never thought I could see some definition in my stomach muscles and now I can! I feel stronger and more balanced after each session (which never feels over strenuous). Appointments are easy to set up just email or give them a call. Private lessons are extremely competitively priced for

I have just completed my first year of pilates at Atlas and what a year of change it has been! I started bouldering two years ago and have suffered a number of injuries due to hip mobility issues. This studio has changed how I move! I see gains in my strength and flexibility as well as in my posture.
I usually work with Liesbeth and Ray in the evenings but I have worked with a number of instructors at Atlas and they have all been top notch. Both Liesbeth and Ray pay special attention to incorporate climbing-like moves into my class as well as to focus on strengthening my hips and shoulders. I honestly

This is the Studio I have wished for my whole life!

I started coming here both to address a low back injury and to prep for turning 60. I am now 64 and stronger than I have ever been, have great balance and love being in my body. This is such a top of the line Studio, built totally with the clients in mind. Smart, engaging and very talented teachers make learning and growing stronger fun (never boring). It has changed my mind set, my physical core and enhanced how I work in my daily life as a business owner. I always say, "Atlas Pilates, come for a day, stay for a lifetime!

Hannah, my Pilates teacher at Atlas, has somehow taught me more about my body than years of intense dance training ever did. While Pilates is expensive, it is totally worth it, for people of all walks of life -- whether you're trying to gain strength, flexibility and get in better shape like I was, or even just gain a greater sense of peace and mindfulness. I truly look forward to coming to Atlas before each session, and the studio has a wonderful and welcoming energy. My sessions with Hannah are always inspiring, challenging and fun. Also, teachers Teresa and Lori are AMAZING! Thank you,

Everything I want to say has been covered by other reviewers, but I still want to chime in. Simply put, Atlas Pilates is a top-notch classical Pilates studio. Every instructor I've worked with has given me extremely valuable information about my body and my technique at every session I've attended. On top of that, both the instructors and other clients are really down to earth, creating one of the most pleasant exercise environments I've ever observed. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!

I was lucky enough to discover Atlas Pilates when they were literally around the corner from my home. I've gone there for three years and the institute's and equipment are the best I've seen in the city.

I've gone to other studios and I found all of the Atlas instructors knowledge, skill and abilities superior. Each has different styles, yet all are great at adapting your work out to your needs and goals.

I saw amazing improvement in my posture, physical recovery and flexibility with their great instruction.

The new space on 3rd is expanded and even better. I happily refer

This review is long overdue but worth the wait since Atlas Pilates moved to a bigger studio!

I come here for early morning sessions with Danae, who also happens to be my pole instructor. She mindfully guides me through every exercise during our small group sessions. When my small group partner can't make it, then she and I go balls out on exercises that complement my pole workouts.

The old studio was cozy and we had to practically synchronize our arms and legs in such a way that we weren't kicking or slapping each other in the face. This new space seems to be perfect! Of course

I came to Atlas as an alternative to physical therapy for a hip misalignment (6 months of traditional PT did nothing) and they were able to pinpoint exactly which muscles were overtaking and which were atrophied, and had me running again within a couple of months. I continue sessions because they are helping me surpass "back to normal" and get stronger in my posture and alignment.

Atlas Pilates has many high quality instructors in the studio. I learn something new about myself from everyone that I work with (which is almost every instructor at one point) and look forward to every session

Teresa (studio owner) is hands down the best pilates instructor I've encountered. She is so detailed oriented and articulate; she's able to see the small things I can change to free up joints and lengthen even more and gives me instruction so I can visualize how to do it in the future.

She's so in demand that it's a bit tough to book private lessons with her. The other instructors are also very good ... I've worked with Danae and with Danielle.

Teresa and Danae are fabulous teachers. Both are very hands on and encouraging in your Pilates practice. Teresa was easily able to figure out exactly which moves and positions my body needs and would respond to, and really tailored our sessions accordingly. She was great at remembering all of the verbal cues that work for me. Each session with her was different and challenging in a new way, and I really enjoyed watching myself progress under her watchful eye! I took a few duet classes with Danae, and she was great at customizing the workout for both clients while also keeping us both engaged
