Pilates is a system of exercises designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, posture, and mental awareness. It focuses on your core (abs, obliques, back, butt, thighs) and kicks your whole body into gear. Each exercise takes concentration and endurance, and the focus is on form for a safe, low-impact workout that trains you how to use your muscles (allllll your muscles) effectively - in and out of the studio.
Pilates is the ORIGINAL functional fitness. It's pretty much for everyone. At The Fitz, our signature workouts are created to accommodate most fitness types, styles, and schedules. Our 50-minute classes are based on the holistic principles of Pilates, but also emphasize strength training and cardio elements found in other forms of exercise for a unique, ATHLETIC, and highly effective workout.

The Fitz has become my favorite place to work out at as well as the most favorite part of my day! Everyone is always so welcoming and friendly and it truly is a no-judgement zone. If you’re looking for a good place to tone up, but without the competitiveness to that of other places, check out the Fitz! They will take you in as one of their own and get you learning in no time💛

I love this studio. The energy is accepting, motivating, and fun. The classes are filled with a good mix of women on varying fitness paths with all body types. The instructors and the women that attend are all great. It's a girl tribe of support and empowerment.
The atmosphere is more ballet studio than gym with great music. I always feel awkward at the gym, low ceilings, crowded space, meh music. This place isn't that. The atmosphere definitely helps to make the workout less of a punishment :)
I started as true beginner with zero muscle tone. The instructors give exercise options

I have been going to Fitzgerald Pilates for almost a year now and I have loved it since day one. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and helpful. The studio itself is so cool. With all of its merchandise (they have Spiritual Gangster...MY FAV), and really cool gifts. Their equipment, from the reformers to the rebounders, are all up to date and top of the line. It's decorated with neat quotes all over from kickass women in history. The whole vibe is GIRL POWER, super inclusive and inviting. Also, in the time of Corona, they are very conscious of keeping the whole place clean and safe

Took a few classes elsewhere out of town. There is definitely a difference in instructor styles and the Fitz is hands down the best. They tell you what muscles to squeeze, how to breathe, and they just tell you how to it right. Other places do not. Chan and the gang is fabulous. ...they always know how much and how hard to push. Whew! And during this pandemic, I appreciate they are taking all necessary precautions with closures as needed, sanitizing, and offering online classes. Love it that classes are offered around the clock to meet your busy lifestyle and not just as needed, which can be frustrating

If you are looking for an excellent Pilates studio, this is it Ladies! I just completed my 2nd class tonight and absolutely loved it. Everyone is very warm and welcoming, and I didn’t encounter a single person with an attitude. The instructors are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They ensure that you have the proper form and are performing the exercises the right way. The music they play during the class makes it fun too. You definitely get a great workout and feel the burn. The place is very nice and clean, and the reformer machines are in excellent condition.

Love Pilates at the Fitz! This place is amazing. The atmosphere is very welcoming and all the machines are well-kept and clean. The instructors are great and each has her own style so there is definitely something for everyone. I've been doing Pilates for over a year in Los Angeles, Birmingham and Huntsville and the Fitz is one of my all time favorites.

After trying many different types of exercises, I finally found what works for me at The Fitzgerald Pilates. The atmosphere is inviting, comfortable and energetic. The staff is also extremely knowledgeable and fun. I love going to The Fitz each morning and starting off my day with a great workout to music I like and browsing the boutique filled with the most fabulous Pilates attire. The Fitz also has a shower and vanity area where I am able to get ready for work each morning. If you don’t have enough time to shower, they have a full dry shampoo bar. Come and check out The Fitz! You’ll have

I was hesitant to try Pilates again because I've had bad experiences with classes in the past that were stuffy and pretentious. Good exercise, but not fun and just too snobby. However, a friend I trust recommended The Fitz so I decided to give it a try. I am so so thankful that I did! I am absolutely hooked. I love the studio and equipment, I love all the teachers, I've made some great friends, and I have gotten so much stronger!
I have balance issues and a few joint problems, and the exercises are all easily modified so I never have to miss out. It's neat to see several people

Honestly the most fun yet effective workout in town! I've been going since April and I have seen such positive changes in my body and I can definitely tell I'm much stronger! I immediately loved it here because of its very welcoming vibe. I had never done any reformer Pilates before my first class and they were so helpful and didn't make me feel like a big la-hooser for not knowing what to do! The decor is super cute, they have amazing accessories and clothing for sale, and they always have amazing playlists that definitely help me stay pumped. I feel a sense of accomplishment every

This studio is fantastic. I am not your typical Pilates student. I am in my mid-forties and carrying about 50 extra pounds (which I'm working really hard to melt away!). I went to my first class with zero knowledge about what to expect, what to wear (toe-less socks are a must!), or just how out of place I was going to look and feel. But the beautiful spirits at the Fitz embraced me immediately and I've totally fallen in love.
The staff is warm and welcoming and very helpful during class. The workouts are challenging. The facility is gorgeous and the equipment looks new and is well maintained.

100% new to Pilates (and getting in shape). Walked in and everyone was so friendly right away, from the clients to the employees.
My instructor, Chelsea, walked me through everything to do with the reformer carriage platform machine thing before class started and I felt comfortable from the start. She also adjusted me as needed throughout the class when I was doing something wrong. I really liked and appreciated that because I'm clueless and definitely don't want to do an exercise incorrectly.
I've tried yoga but got bored towards the end, tried cycling and hating EVERY SECOND

I have been coming here for over a month now and I can say that I'm addicted to coming here. I'm not going to lie though, it's not easy. It is, however, very satisfying. You use parts of your body you didn't know you had (or didn't use at least). Great workout without the stress and shock of normal runs, jumps, other training.
I would say that it is definitely a place where you don't have to worry about anything other than showing up and putting in work. Their team is really helpful and really want you to do well. Each instructor has a different style so I think

I absolutely love The Fitz Pilates. The facility is beautiful, the ladies teaching are very attentive and encouraging. They offer a shower, dry shampoo bar and everything you need to get ready! I go every day before work and all I pack is makeup and my outfit. They also offer a retail section where you can get the latest athletic apparel. I've never been anywhere more welcoming! You will love it!

I am relatively new to Pilates. I did it once a few years ago and loved it, but it hurt, the day I did it, and severely several days later, so I had to stop. I found the Fitzgerald after attending a Cat Rescue event.
Now, if you are new to Pilates, the reformer machines can be a bit frightening at first. They have all these pullies and pieces that make things a little daunting, but the machines are really very easy to use. The other wonderful thing about these types of classes and the reformer machines is that they make things very low impact, so if you have issues with joints or if you can&apos

I love these classes and the facility! The instructors and all of the ladies are energetic and encouraging. They are the only place I know of that provides a fully stocked bathroom with towels, toiletries, dry shampoo, you name it! They also offer retail athletic clothing, including LuLu Lemon, etc. I highly recommend.
