To find an extraordinarily skilled Pilates instructor is wonderful. To find one that is extraordinarily caring and kind is a bit of grace. Mark Trudeau is both.
The studio he has developed reflects these virtues in the staff he has trained and in the spirit of the place. The work is informed by a deep understanding of how bodies work and a strong creative imagination of how to help people achieve their goals.

I have been working out with Ryan at Quantum for almost 4 years. I am over 60 and have a history of lower back problems and was interested to see if Pilates would help and it certainly has. Quantum offers a variety of equipment and both individual training and classes, although I have only done individual training. Ryan is a very patient, intuitive instructor and very careful to ensure that I don't do anything that could hurt my back. Most important, he has an excellent knowledge of Pilates generally, and has tailored the workout routine to those exercises that are particularly useful

LaToya Asher is an extraordinarily effective physical therapist, based at the Quantum Pilates studio. I call her the body whisperer. I struggled with a sore/strained lower back for over a year, did two stints of PT at a regular PT center, and went to two chiropractors. One of the chiropractors suggested that I find a physical therapist based at a Pilates studio, because such a person could use the Pilates equipment to strengthen specific core muscles. I then found LaToya via Google. She has worked wonders, and has me back being active again, including paddling a canoe. She is extremely smart

This was my first reformer class.... unfortunately maybe my last class in this studio.
I came in early, there was no check in. I just had to sign a waiver. I made sure to tell the guy behind the counter that it was my first class. He told me where the changing room and bathrooms were located. I went to the back to get dressed and came back out a bit confused. There was a private session in one side, a room with barely any machines with another private session in that one. I didn't know where to go. I walked around to take a look at things and I stopped at the front desk to ask the guy behind

I really want to like this studio because its halfway between work and home and you really can't beat that. This studio is very traditional. You're probably not going to stray from Joseph Pilates's exercises and you won't be jamming to music. I think they do focus on form more than other studios because their classes tend to be very small. It also seemed like this studio had a more mature clientele than some of the other places I've been. Not positive or negative, just something to keep in mind.
I've taken two classes so far-- group reformer and TRX. I didn't

I took a Friday lunchtime Beginner Reformer class with Duncan and it was a great experience. The class was just me and one other girl, so we got a lot of personal attention- perfect for someone who is relatively new to reformer work, as I am. Duncan did a great job of explaining the different positions and working in all kinds of equipment. I'd highly recommend this studio for a friendly, non-threatening pilates experience!

I have done Pilates at several studios, and this is the best. Their culture is to take the time to make sure you are doing each move correctly so your body gets the greatest benefit from your effort. I am happier, healthier, stronger and less stressed. My posture and my clothes look much better now.

I love this place. The instructors are world class and then receive the best instruction through the courses offered to become a Pilates instructor. Coming to this studio saved my back and now that I have been to other studios I realize that the training I received as a beginning Pilates student gave me an excellent foundation. If I had not gotten this foundation I would not understand how the moves should be executed or feel as they take the time to really show you, which other studios do not. And I believe I had that experience because of the passion of the instructors.
That being said I have

Private reformer session experience;
it rather felt like expensive physical therapy sessions. i appreciated one to one session but i wanted more challenging session. i wasn't sore nor sweating. it felt just too easy and relaxed. i looked around and most of clients were elder ladies.... not for me....

Taking classes with a master instructor makes a major difference. I started here after taking classes at several other studios, loving them, but feeling like I was missing something. Mark delivers high quality instruction with grace and humor.
It is definitely a baby steps approach to improvement, which contrasts with the quick change, loud music, intense general pilates mat class experience being sold in other area studios. And I miss those classes when I have nowhere to hide in one of Mark's classes and no music to drown out my body screaming. I am always sore the next day, but also have

I have taken quite a few Pilates classes over the years, but this is the first place I have taken classes with a master teacher, Mark Trudeau. Now I know I wasn't doing any of the exercises correctly--I can really feel the difference. Mark gives individual attention during the group classes, which are small, and he takes into account each individual's physical state at the time of the class. He is a wonderful teacher--patient, thoughtful, and charming.
l love this place because it's low-key and takes Pilates seriously while having a sense of humor, and the other people in the

I've never done Pilates and am not a big fan of yoga because of the bare feet thing. But I took a risk (for me) and bought a Groupon for 5 group mat classes, so I went to the beginner mat class...and LOVE IT.
I've been traveling for work a LOT since switching jobs and moving to DC seven months ago and haven't worked out at all, and have been eating a lot of restaurant food (the good and bad side of traveling for work, right?). So I was pretty nervous about how horrible this experience was going to be. But this place is so friendly! They are extremely helpful and it wasn&apos

I've started going to mat classes once or twice a week - they are more affordable than the machine classes, and you get in a great workout.
If you purchase the package of 10, the price drops from $20 to $18 per class... you have four months to use them, long enough to easily fit them into your schedule. There are a good variety of times to choose from, too, including morning classes on both Saturday & Sunday and most weekday evenings. I started out just going to the beginner mat classes, offered Tuesday and Thursday nights 6:45-7:45. Those are starting to get easier for me and so I
