I have been active all my life since being raised on a farm in upstate NY. My love of gymnastics as a girl fueled my desire to continue moving as an adult. I have been in the fitness industry for 30+ years with certifications in everything from Step Aerobics and Spin to Tabata and Pilates. I've come to realize the best workouts are the ones that focus on strengthening the body we need to live in.
A body that easily runs stairs, chases our kids and dogs, hops in and out of cars and cabs and catches trains. An energetic, graceful body that allows us to be healthy and strong and ready for all life throws our way! My workouts are challenging and effective. I am Stott Certified in Matwork, Reformer, Tower and the Stability Chair and have completed the Evolve Barre Teacher Training.

From New York but recently moved to Mass. I love Pilates, and my pilates studio in NYC was great, but I was worried when I saw that there weren't many studios in this area. I tried AV Studio and was so happy I did! Alison is by far the best pilates instructor I've ever had. She is thorough, intelligent, kind, and makes me work my butt off! Since going to AV Studio I feel a lot stronger and I've noticed my posture has improved too!

I've been w/ Alison for several years now. She's far above and beyond most in the industry. With her many certifications she brings so much knowledge and expertise to each and every session. The Furnace Brook space is perfect and easily accessible.
May 2020 - Can't wait for the reopen. Anyone interested in Reformer or Barre - no one better out there!! Love the new studio space and convenient location. Can not wait to return !!

Alison is a great teacher. Her knowledge and entertaining personality makes for a wonderful class that flies by. Sometimes way too quickly! Classes are challenging, you feel the difference and want to continue to see what you are capable of! This is the first studio/group class environment that I have ever felt comfortable in thanks to Alison and her clientele. Nice, real people!

The studio is beautiful, spacious and overall very welcoming. I took a wonderfur Barre class and saw the studio has a few pilates formers for groups or private sessions. There is private parking making it very easily accessible for me. I'll continue going to AV for all of my pilates and personal training.

AV Studio has the best barre and pilates reformer classes around! Alison is an extremely talented teacher and offers challenging classes, and uses her long personal training background to adjust and modify exercises for injuries. Classes are small and friendly, and the space is beautiful with lots of parking.
