Nancy completed her apprenticeship and was certified with Dorothee VandeWalle at Metropolitan Pilates in Seattle, WA. Soon after completing her certification she decided to open her own studio in Bellevue, WA in June of 2008. Nancy lives her life wholeheartedly believing in the power of Pilates.
Through her own studio, she is able to pass along her joy and dedication of Pilates or 'Contrology' as named by Joseph Pilates when he pioneered the Authentic Method, to her clients.Nancy compares the Pilates Method to the likeness of a scientific formula that, when applied correctly, completely transforms the body.

Joseph Pilates claimed his method to be a philosophical and theoretical foundation, with the intention focusing on not just being a collection of exercises, rather encouraging the use of the mind to control the body. The Pilates equipment and exercises play off each other for a supreme workout of the mind and body.
Same day appointment changes apply to privates only and must be both with the same instructor and appointment type. If client decides to reschedule with different instructor, charges for each appointment will apply. The Monthly Membership is $59.95 +tax and includes $30.00 credit back to the account every month.
Pilates is an investment in yourself. We recommend scheduling an introductory lesson to help you understand whether Pilates is right for you. We offer new clients 50% off the walk-in rate or FREE with the purchase of package. If you love your introductory lesson we then recommend that you begin your Pilates program with a series of private lessons.
The muscles tore during pregnancy and the loss of Mind-Body Connection (in the abdominal region) is hard to get back, but it doesn't have to be this way forever. We give Moms the tools to bring the stomach muscles back to their original position and sometimes - with surprise and great pleasure - our moms end up feeling and looking better than before those pregnancy days!

I decided to give this place a try since it's just mins away from home. Now I has been seeing Jed for private session about a year and half and I still enjoy it. Jed is very professional and fun to work with. I could tell my body feels much better now in terms of strength and flexibility.
This place is clean and well managed. All staffs and instructors are super nice and professional.

Best Pilates Studio Ever! Susan is a professional, friendly instructor who truly cares about her clients.
There are classes available for all levels and since Susan has so many years of experience she is great at modifying an exercise or making it more challenging to accommodate everyone's needs.
Thank you Susan for keeping me in great shape and being an amazing, attentive & talented instructor

I have been going here for a year and a half. I have already written a review raving about the instructors but today I had a scheduling issue that, as life goes, sometimes happens. I worked directly with Nancy and she was extremely responsive and corrected the issue very quickly. This is a fantastic studio.

What more can I say, Pilates rocks! Pilates rocks and this is the *only* place to take classic Pilates instruction in the Seattle/Eastside area. I have been doing Pilates for almost 1.5 years and it has made tremendous improvements in my flexibility, strength, and weightlifting form. You just cannot achieve these improvements so quickly through any other practice in my opinion. I really encourage more guys to give it a try, it will make huge differences in how you feel, your posture, and overall strength for other sports.

Let me start by saying that I have avoided exercise all my life. I started going to Nancy Wallacae Pilates in mid September, doing semi private lessons with Suzanne. I cannot say enough good things about this place! I am totally hooked and do not want to miss a lesson. Beginning with Michelle, Client Relations Manager, at the front desk. She is warm, enthusiastic, and goes above and beyond to help you schedule and make you feel welcome. From my first visit, she not only remembered my name, but asks about things we have talked about previously; dogs, job, etc. She always has a smile and

Nancy Wallace Pilates is a wonderful studio. They teach the traditional Pilates method and have a strong group of experienced teachers. What pushes this studio above others is the culture. It is a loving, warm and dedicated group of people who work hard for the success of their students and equally for each other.
The studio is light and airy with high ceilings, excellent equipment and easy parking. I am getting stronger every week and it feels great.

I have been taking classes at Nancy Wallace for about 1 year - previously I knew nothing about Pilate and was skeptical about anything that did not involve jogging, swimming or bicycling.
My skepticism was unfounded. I really enjoy my Pilate class- so much do that I increased my private lessons from once to twice a week. My instructor, Misty, is really encouraging. She makes it fun and I look forward to my class. Nancy Wallace is the owner. She is responsive and cares about her clients. I highly recommend Nancy Wallace Pilates!

The knowledge and consistency that our workouts with Susanne give us has changed our lives. Knowing we can trust her to continue to strengthen us while being aware of any past injuries, really gives us additional comfort. She is amazing. We are also really happy with the atmosphere of the studio and it's so clean! They work with our crazy schedules and they always offer alternatives if we can't get the time we want. This studio is a good, safe, knowledgable place to make your body fit and toned. I trust all of them.

I haven't been doing pilates very long, but I wouldn't call myself a beginner. I found this studio through Classpass.
The space is intimate; only 4 people total so there's a great amount of attention from the instructor. Today's session was called Joe's Tower Class, but our instructor was Jed.
He has a great teaching style and changed up the positions and moves quite often, so it definitely wasn't boring.
Next time I'll probably attend a cardio class somewhere else before coming here...it felt more like stretching than an actual workout. Just my opinion and

I LOVE this studio. I've been seeing Jed twice a week for personal Pilates for about a year and a half now and it's helped me SO much. Jed is super knowledgable and is the best pilates instructor I've ever had. (I went through two others from different studios before settling on him.) I've been recommending him to all of my friends. My husband is now seeing him, too.
I was pregnant last year and had a lot of pelvic & SI pain. Jed helped me to strengthen and target the specific muscles that would help with alleviating the pain. By the second trimester, most of the pain

I moved here last summer and was looking for a new pilates studio. I was referred to Nancy Wallace Pilates and thought I would give it a try. They teach a traditional Contrology which was a bit different than the Balanced Body and Stott pilates that I had done previously. It took a few months of adjusting to new methods and trying out different instructors to find a perfect fit for me. Every instructor is good for a different reason. I personally like to be challenged and have found that Susanne is the instructor for me! She makes every class different so your body is continuously challenged

Moving from Atlanta to Bellevue, I needed to find a pilates studio that followed the traditional pilates method that I grew to love in my studio in Atlanta. After attending several in Bellevue, it is my opinion that this studio is the only option if you want a studio that follows the method, has many trained teachers to choose from and show attention to detail in applying the method. I have been attending Nancy pilates for three months at about 3-4 times a week. I look forward to it everyday.

Started Nancy Wallace Pilates last spring and love it. A friend had recommended them, and I talked a few other buddies into giving them a shot along with me. We began with once a week, switched to twice, and would do more if we could squeeze it in. Each time we come they switch it up, so you feel like you get the basic core, but always something new to keep it fresh. Being empty nesters our schedules are sporadic and they are so accommodating. I highly recommend it!

My husband bought me a Living Social for Nancy Wallace for my birthday and I have been hooked ever since. The instructors are amazing. They really have your well being in mind and are always making sure you are doing the forms correctly so you don't get injured. It is fun and I feel myself getting stronger every time I go. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is the best place to go. Everyone is so friendly and I have even met a workout buddy!

I'm a pilates beginner and I'm finding that all the instructors at Nancy Wallace Pilates are helpful and so encouraging! Sometimes I feel like my mind and my body are on two different wave lengths…but the patience of instruction I'm getting at this studio is slowly bringing the two together! I love feeling like my muscles are waking up and coming to life!
I am very impressed with the emails confirming my appointments and how flexible it has been getting class times. This is really a first rate studio!

So, I have been doing Pilates there since February 2013. I love it!! I feel so much stronger and I can finally feel my abs working. After 2 kids(1 C-section) , I joked my abs were on strike! Not any more, I am so much stronger and I can feel everything contract. My clothes fit better and several people have told me I look different. I started with private lessons , but now I am strong enough to go into a group class starting next week!! Excited.

I moved to Bellevue in February and was searching for a Pilates studio that has all the major equipment. This was a struggle. I was very happy to have found Nancy Wallace Pilates. My experience has been excellent. I also have been able to work out with many of the instructors. They have all had my well being in mind as we work through the program. Knowing that I cannot do (or do not like!) certain "poses" (like the Tree on the reformer!), they offer alternatives that provide the same stretch/workout but done in different ways.
I cannot express how happy I have been with my experience

I've been to several pilates places, and recently the woman I went to retired, so I gave this place out.
Let me say that as someone who has done pilates for SEVERAL years, I understand how some people in the field are elitists, I can look through that.
When I came in, I was told that they could not honor the Yelp I had, because no one was here who knew how to run the register. That was okay, I paid.
But what was horrible was how I was told everything I had learn at the other places I have gone to was wrong, I had horrible form, that I wasn't good enough to do the group classes, etc

Their schedule is emailed to you instead of on a website where you can pint it out or something, so they email it to you, but the problem is the classes get full a lot so they problem is you can't find a group class that'll ever fit in your schedule if you have a regular 9-5 ...hmmmm.

I love this studio!!! This is the real deal, the "Joseph Pilates" based work, not some abstract variation. I've trained with a small nunber of the Joseph Pilates based studios in the SF Bay area and it is crucial I believe to train in this method for the most effective results. Do your research on line!
The others don't push you nor do they drive home the core Pilates principals (created by Joseph) that make this the very best workout to provide core strength while elongating your muscles. All this with the wonderful mind-body and breathe awareness needed to articulate

I just had my first Pilates experience a few days ago, and I enjoyed it so much, at the end of the 50 minutes I decided to sign up for a series of classes.
We were four girls in the class, and the instructor was very sweet, attentive, made sure everyone was positioned correctly at all times, she gave great feedback, and made it fun.
Also, Jaci at the front desk was very helpful and bubbly, and she made sure to ask everyone how they liked the workout...the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.
