We create and teach goal based programs that give you the workout you need, to get the results you want, doing exercise you'll love. Since I started my Pilates practice three years ago, I have improved posture, strengthened my spine and have developed balance and overall strength. I now have a greater sense of overall stability and can perform activities that require a lot more balance and coordination than I used to.
I used to wobble all over the place and now I am steady and strong. I can walk around more confidently and feel like all four corners of my feet are securely planted on the ground. I know that my strong core will provide me with the strength and stability to remain balanced as I grow older. Nancy's sunny attitude (even at 7AM) makes even the most difficult Pilates move seem easy.

Laurie was the studio manager and instructor for over 18 years. Now she is in charge of marketing and program design at the studio as well as consulting for other Pilates Studios across the world. Laurie loves thunderstorms and "The Office". Katrina has been teaching Pilates since 2001. She is a well known educator for Polestar Pilates and loves traveling the country teaching others to teach.
They sure come in handy for Pilates (Yoga too!). They provide that extra "gripige" that can make or break some of the more challenging Pilates exercises. Standing on a moving Reformer won't feel as intimidating. It might be an annoying prop to store in your home, but the foam roller is well worth it.

I work with Katrina Hawley at The Pilates Studio and I am always impressed with her knowledge, skill, and expertise. No matter the issue, she can address it! The workouts are fun and I know I'm working intelligently and efficiently with her guidance. In addition, The Pilates Studio is a warm and welcoming environment with a wonderful sense of community.

I have been working with Katrina for over a year now following a significant back event. Not only is my back so much better and I am pain-free, but my whole body is stronger and more flexible. In addition, my bone density numbers have stabilized, meaning I do not have to switch to a more problematic medication. I am so motivated to continue! Thank you Katrina and everyone at The Pilates Studio!

Monday I attended a new class with Maureen for the first time. I wasn’t totally sure what to expect, but it was so much fun. She’s a great instructor. No matter which classes I take at the Pilates Studio they’re all fun and I always feel great afterwards. My week wouldn’t be complete without Pilates! 👨🏻

I have been fortunate to have taken a number of classes with Laurie this summer. She is a fun, relaxed instructor with a wealth of knowledge about Pilates. She tailors each class to the students in attendance, providing challenges and modifications as necessary. I leave each class feeling more flexible and stronger than when I arrived!

I started going to The Pilates Studio in Hadley about a year ago, thinking that it would make me look a little thinner and more in shape. Now a year later, I do look a little thinner (at least I did before the pandemic made me stay home and eat more). But Pilates has given me more benefits that I didn't expect, especially better balance, which is important as I get older. I really miss going to the studio for mat and reformer classes, but am so grateful that the online classes--both live and recorded--are available, so I can still do Pilates several times per week.

I’m an athlete and always have been and Pilates is the only fitness regime I’ve ever done that has truly toned my body and made me more flexible by working those smaller muscles that tend to be forgotten about! The live, in person, classes are ideal but given the current public restrictions due to COVID-19, the studio has had to adapt and are now offering many online classes. These classes are available live or as replays. I attend more classes now that ever before because I can access the replays at any time if I am not able to join a live class. The live online classes (intermediate mat class

I returned to The Pilates Studio last week and will be there every week from now on. I am a senior citizen and trying to be very careful. I was instructed to use a secondary entrance that led right to the area where I worked out. My instructor and I wore our masks throughout, and there was hand sanitation available. The equipment was cleaned before I arrived and was available only to me during the 50 minutes I was there. I felt completely safe during my session with Katrina and, although I had not worked with her previously, she quickly discovered what I needed to work on. I highly recommend The

Afternoon live equipment classes with Katrina during this period of staying at home have been a gift. Taking live classes provides a regular schedule for my day which is so necessary at this time. The added benefits of being able to ask questions, and then have a library of recorded classes by Katrina and Laurie makes the subscription plan even more valuable. Thanks for being so creative!!

I have had back issues for a few years now. Since starting Pilates at the Pilates Studio my back issues have subsided substantially. Katrina and all of the instructors are very attentive to their clients' individual needs whatever they may be. I can't thank them enough for the online sessions as we go through this challenging time. I especially like the fact that the sessions are recorded and online so that I can maintain my fitness on my schedule. Thanks to all and can't wait to get back.
