I'm obsessed with this place. I've gotten private instruction with Jess and bodywork with Fran and they have both been wonderful. They are very knowledgeable about the body, listen to where I need work and really know how to support their clients. Would recommend to anyone just starting Pilates or anyone who is looking for an incredible bodyworker. I came in with pain and within one session Fran helped me lessen my pain significantly. Needless to say I'll be spending a lot of time at this studio.

This place is great! A nice mix of outdoor group, outdoor private, and indoor private studio setups, with well-maintained reformers and expert teachers. I've been taking group classes with Olivia and privates with Marianne and strongly recommend them both - as a previously mat pilates instructor myself I feel like I'm getting a great mix of correction and support during both types of classes and my core strength is definitely returning after a year of COVID slouching. The outdoor reformer classes are fully covered and protected from any street noise, and are very peaceful.

After I zoomed Pilates classes at home for the past year...having the opportunity to practice Pilates nestled amongst the redwoods of mill valley is a dream come true! Not only is the setting perfect at Fitwise Pilates, the instructors are knowledgeable, clear, and kind. I taught Pilates for years and am now taking a break, so finding a studio to practice my own Pilates was very important to me as I am very picky! I'm grateful to have found Ronda and her team. The scheduling system is easy to use on the Fitwise Pilates website and the administrators have always been super responsive to

Fitwise is the pilates studio I'd been searching for in Marin! I pretty much see Marianne exclusively and she's done an incredible job at preparing my body for baby #2 while keeping me challenged. As someone who prefers a blend of pilates and conditioning, she tailors duets and privates to my needs and I always feel stronger and accomplished when leaving the studio (and days after). The folks at the front desk are friendly and communicative. The equipment is clean and the classes, outside under the redwoods, are a treat!

Love FitWise Pilates, the reformer Pilates classes out on their deck is my favorite! So nice to be outdoor, under the redwoods to strengthen and stretch. Amazing instructors! Highly highly recommend. They made it possible for me to enjoy reformer Pilates while getting thru this pandemic. I moved from SF to Mill Valley last September and this was my happiest find.

If you're looking for high quality Pilates instruction and a warm encouraging environment, this is your spot. I've experienced Pilates studios in many different cities and towns, and this is by far my best experience in both private lessons and group classes. Love the outdoor reformer class setup in the redwoods!

FitWise is a fantastic Pilates studio.
I've been working out here for almost 2 years now and I highly recommend it for both the new outdoor reformer classes and the private sessions with incredible instructors. I tried gyrotonic here fir the first time as well pre-pandemic and loved that as well.
It's been my go-to Covid safe, get back in shape studio in Marin.

I've been working with the FitWise team for a couple of months now, seeing Alison & Olivia in a personal training capacity twice a week. I came into pilates with some issues. I have a herniated disc in my neck and a prosthetic cervical disc as well. I've also had several major abdominal surgeries over the past few years, my body is holding a lot of scar tissue and has felt really weak and heavy/overweight and unfamiliar. Alison & Olivia have done an amazing job helping me gently refamiliarize myself with my own body while pushing a little further each week. One of the things that

I started working with the FitWise team 2 years ago after my hip replacement surgery. Had never done Pilates before. Standard rehab just wasn't getting me the results I desired. Rhonda and her team helped me get to the point where I no longer can tell that I had a hip replacement. I have full range of motion, walk without a limp, and have continued with Pilates because I LOVE it so much. I have worked with many of the instructors and they are all great, each with their unique specialties. Of course, I have my favorites. The FitWise team has been very accommodating to my crazy schedule. FitWise

FitWise Pilates has kept me sane and fit with safe, small, engaging reformer classes and private sessions outside on the porch during the past many months of WFH amidst covid sheltering!! Ronda and her entire FWP crew have flexed their services to meet health and safety guidelines while providing reformer workouts that are fun, challenging and adaptable for individuals. WFH has enabled me to run over to have a great class during my long workday, which I could never do when commuting to work.

It so wonderful to return to FitWise after sheltering in place for almost a year. The new deck setup is gorgeous with views of the Redwoods and ample space and comfort for safe and fun movement. Working with Stephanie Cross is also a treat! Her instruction is precise, her classes are seamlessly structured, and I always leave feeling like I have been appropriately challenged in a new and engaging way. Additionally, Stephanie's energy is uplifting and her teaching style is inclusive of all levels. I can't wait to reintegrate her Sunday classes into my weekly routine! Thank you, FitWise

My wife and I began our Pilates journey in November - once a week and now stepping up to twice week. Carlo has been a great teacher in this unique movement environment - we both can see changes in our core fitness and flexibility, wish we started at an earlier age! The FitWise team has been super with instructional help and understanding our individual restrictions - been a very rewarding experience working with the FitWise team.

I have nothing but rave reviews about this pilates studio. Where do I start. First of all in this difficult Covid world we are living in, Fitwise meets all the criteria for a safe environment. Their reformer classes and private sessions are all held on their very generous outdoor balconies. There are numerous sanitizing stations to keep your hands clean. When indoors, they have many windows and doors open to keep the air flowing as well as air sanitizer apparatus in many locations.

Ronda and The FitWise Pilates team is nothing short of excellent. I work with Rhonda on an individual basis, and I do Pilates but also restorative Pilates. I've been rehabbing my knee injury and she knows exactly what to do to make the rehab go faster. Ronda knows in detail, all about interconnecting of muscles and reflexes and creates the right exercises to restore the joint movement and strengthening. The studio is always spotless and they are always cleaning up after every session. The teachers and classes are excellent. I can't say enough good things about FitWise Pilates.

I have been taking classes at FitWise for about 2 years now, first for Pilates and now GYROTONIC. I can say, as someone who always sort of hated going to the gym, that this amazing community of talented instructors with sincere attention to your personal fitness goals, is the best fitness experience I have ever had. My body has transformed in ways I never imagined possible, and it is enjoyable to boot, no suffering for a fit + toned body, just mindful focus and training in a supportive atmosphere with a community of great women.

Hello, my name is Uli and I'm a Spondy!
Jokes aside, my doctor recently told me that my leg and back problems result from a condition called Spondylolisthesis - a slipped vertebrae. He mentioned that strengthening my core would be my best bet to control for further damage and he also said that Pilates had shown some promising results in recent studies.
Well, I'm not someone who distrusts the opinion of an expert and so I set out to find the best Pilates instructor in my area. I used the messaging feature here on Yelp to connect with 4 or 5 different Pilates studios in Marin: FitWise

The instructors at FitWise are VERY knowledgeable, attentive and focused. I'm new to Pilates and wasn't sure what to expect (and a bit intimidated about the reformers & equipment) but the instructors there are so good at what they do, I was quickly put at ease and after 2 sessions already felt a difference. The classes are small so there is more individual attention and adjustments. Very high caliber all the way.

First pilates studio I've ever worked with, and they're great. Came in looking to correct 40+ yrs of bad sitting/standing/walking habits and moderate running abuse, and it's working. Each equipment class varies the moves, which keeps it from feeling routine, and always leaves me feeling great; teachers are all consistent, confident and attentive to each student; equipment all feels new, clean and solid. I"ve done classes and private sessions, I don't think you can go wrong. Great to have Ronda and the FitWise crew in town.

I took my very first Pilates class at FitWise Pilates and I haven't stopped taking classes since! Ronda and all of the Instructors at FitWise are warm and welcoming. I thought about taking a Pilates class long before I actually took one because I was intimidated by the equipment and reformers. But not at FitWise! I felt very comfortable and welcomed from the moment I stepped inside. It is a beautiful studio and very clean. The instructors are patient and extremely helpful with their cues and corrections.
