Upon arriving to the business for the first time, Sarah took the time only to charge my credit card for a 6-week series however did not take time to show me around or even tell me in which room the class was; she seemed a bit preoccupied/rushed and was quite high-energy (not a great welcoming for a relaxing QiGong class). I attended only the first 3 classes of the 6 classes as, the day of the 4th class I was diagnosed with Bronchitis. I emailed Sarah that day however was told that she cannot issue any refund for the missed class as I didn't provide a full 24-hour notice (she seemed to have

Tried pilates here one day and now I can't imagine not going to class. Sarah is patient instructor. She is aware of her clients needs during class and addresses those needs immediately. Sarah, Rob and their group are dedicated, knowledgeable, and professional. I encourage you to stop by and try a class.

After spine surgery, I needed expert help in setting up and executing a safe workout program. Robert and Sarah reviewed my situation and started me off with individual Pilates work with Sarah for several weeks. After that, I transitioned to Pilates group classes, which consist of no more than 8 students. Have been enjoying and profiting from the classes over several months. I am delighted with my progress, increasing strength. Very grateful that I found such knowledgeable trainers as Robert and Sarah. It's important to stay safe while getting stronger!

I joined a last minute drop in pilates class on the reformer using the mind body app. What a great studio! Bright and cheerful! Owner and instructor Sarah lead the class and was mindfully attentive checking our breathing and form. And patiently adjusted as I became familiar with new exercises! Will definitely go back again soon!

I was gifted a 90 minute massage for my birthday through Groupon. I had never been to this place and had no idea what to expect. I was totally blown away. I've had many professional massages before, but this was BY FAR the best one!!! My therapist was a total expert. They seemed to combine a mix of massage techniques and style that pinpointed all of my knots and imbalanced muscles (without me even asking)--it was absolutely healing. The level of care and expertise was really astounding. After my massage, the therapist took the time to look at the bottom of my shoes and explain what the soles

I have been on the search for an alternative workout regime due to severe issues with my back, the result of an auto accident several years ago. I decided to take advantage of a Pilates Groupon offer at Diversified Soft Tissue Therapy. I underestimated pilates, its a challenging workout and I actually enjoyed it and believe you could get in awesome shape if you remain dedicated. That being said, if you are like me, new to pilates its difficult to ascertain how some of the moves could exacerbate an existing injury hence after several visits I majorly irritated my back and decided not to return

I have been going to Sarah, Natasha and sometimes Rob for 6 months steady now. Since going, I have fewer episodes of back issues that leave me somewhat immobile for weeks at a time. They have helped me regain balance due to nerve damage and strengthen my entire body to accommodate for the deterioration of my back. No other PT or exercises have helped me like D.S.T.T. has. I can not thank all of you enough for all you continue to do to help me.

This is my first time going to Pilates and Sarah is a fantastic teacher!!
Sarah is encouraging and attentive to all the different needs of the class. I have gone to different gyms in my life and never really enjoyed the experience. It is a very comfortable atmosphere and a really good workout. I can't recommend DSTT enough.

Diversified Soft Tissue Therapy has regular Pilates classes and I'm a regular in those classes. Sarah Fontecchio provides excellent instruction to every one of her students. Class is interesting, challenging, and lively and I enjoy the other students. Sarah offers a lot of guidance and good information, so my understanding of my body dynamics has grown and changed.

This studio is fantastic! Have been going the last 4 months, their automated system has a crazy simple app to set up your classes and if you put the time it can really transform you, strengthening my core was a goal after having a baby. Mission accomplished in two months, now just have to keep going!!! Highly recommended!

I was referred to this service by my GP. In the last 2 years I have visited 3 other Physical therapists with NO success. I felt better after my first session with Robert. He actually cares about outcomes, not just fees.
He is not afraid to push you a little to get the best possible results.
You will be glad you gave him a try!

This is a pleasant studio with nice staff, with a mostly retired older clientele during the daytime group work. It should be noted for group Pilates classes that there are only 5-6 Reformers, but they take more people into class than that, and expect the group to split into half on the mats and then switch halfway through. I kept trying to sign up for what I thought would be smaller classes of 6 so I could stay on a Reformer the whole time, but that just wasn't case. Even though there was a reformer available today, the teacher wanted to make room for half the people on the floor and told

I was gifted a monthly membership for Christmas and the classes have helped strengthen my back. Jonathan is an excellent instructor and really helps each student to make sure they are doing each movement correctly. You get a great workout, strength and not hurt yourself, SOLD! I highly recommend this program.

I highly recommend DSTT's studio for Pilates (reformer, mat, equipment), strength and flexibility training, Cross Fit, and orthopedic massage. Jonathan, Sarah, Robert, and Amy are trained, experienced instructors with a lot of patience, humour, and genuine concern for your well being. They happily work with you to accommodate any physical constraints thus avoiding further injury or discomfort. The studio is clean and well-lit with excellent equipment. Classes are small and congenial with students of all ages and abilities. The central location and mobile app for scheduling and tracking classes

It's been 9 months since I started ... I think I'm much stronger. My back ache is fine. Today, I took Sarah's Pilate class, oh my god! She is precise and effective in very warm manner. She also showed my friend who had back issue a specific instruction. Pilates in general is great, but to find a great instructors and great facility, business with integrity like this place is rare. I knowing that, I feel always comfortable there. People come here are all so nice and friendly too.

I purchased a 12 pack Groupon with this company. The studio is VERY clean and organized. The classes are small - 5 reformers AND there is a separate Mat class/Kettle ball room. There is also a massage room as well. I've had 5 classes with Jonathan and he's a gem. Very calming demeanor, his corrections are great and always focused on proper technique, which is good for support back. I have already recommended this studio - great place!

Started going to Pilates in November (Jonathan's class) it was my first time doing Pilates. The workout is amazing !! I strained my IT Band last weekend on a hike, Jonathan helped me work through the strain and the next day the pain was 100% gone !! I encourage anyone thinking about trying a class ?? Do IT!! You will be so happy you did!! It is a great workout, class size is kept small and the instructor is knowledgable. I wish I had time in my schedule to attend 6 days a week. :)
