Move Pilates Bend

Move Pilates is the best! Renee has an amazing ability to hold a class, AND focus and remember each clients individual needs. Highly recommend!

Exceptional studio! Renee made my first Pilates experience an enjoyable one. She was very kind and gave great instruction.

Renee at MOVE PILATES is a gifted and dedicated instructor. She designs every session addressing specific body issues and keeps every session fresh. Furthermore, she understands an aging body and what that body needs. I have been working with Renee for a year and look forward to every session.Karen B

Move Pilates in Bend is just a wonderful, thorough, warm but professional studio with excellent classes, strong teachers, great equipment, and a lovely atmosphere. I am a big fan of Pilates for everyone, but being able to practice and learn at Move Pilates in Bend, Oregon is such a gift to us living or visiting here!

Renee has been a godsend this summer as I have a problem requiring PT weekly. She has adapted my private lessons to enhance the PT which has increased my strength in the affected area. I am more than pleased with my progress and enthusiastically recommend Renee as an outstanding Pilates instructor.Judy Lewis, summer Bend resident

Move Pilates changed my body in the best way possible. I first started coming here six months before my wedding as a way to get in "wedding shape" (which I ultimately did because of this class!), not knowing I was about to find a workout I could maintain and enjoy the rest of my life! I tried a couple other studios in Bend before ending up here and I can say without a doubt that Move Pilates is the best reformer pilates studio I've been to. Much of that has to do with Renee. She treats her clients like friends, creates a relaxing and welcoming space, and makes pilates super approachable. I always look forward to class with Renee, which I honestly never say about workout classes! Highly recommend Move Pilates, even if you've never tried pilates before.

I am SO GLAD I decided to get started at Move Pilates, in Bend! I've been taking private lessons with Renee, and after our first two sessions I can already feel my body moving and working in new ways. This is saying a lot, as I'm a fitness professional and physical therapist, and I thought I knew everything about my core and hip muscles! But working on the chair and the reformer has opened my eyes to new ways of using and strengthening my muscles. Renee has done a great job tailoring my private sessions to meet my needs and my strength requirements. I plan to move into the group sessions next, after wrapping up my private sessions. What a blessing to find Renee, and Move Pilates!

I have been practising Pilates for many years and recently moved to Bend. After trying all the studios in the area, Move Pilates Bend is by far the best one!The instructors are extremely well trained, welcoming, and they have the expertise and understanding to adjust exercises to each individual. I love how they can combine authentic classical Pilates (which I am trained in) with other methods or keep it strictly classical.It is always engaging, challenging, and fun and has immensely increased my strength, balance, and flexibility.I look forward to my private session or group class every week, and always walk out taller, lighter, and more engergized. I can highly recommend Move Pilates Bend, because of their dedication to Pilates and their clients.

After recognizing that years of self-directed strength training had rendered me with restricted movement, I wandered into Move Pilates in Bend not knowing what to expect but hoping for some help. Luckily, Renee (the business owner) was there. I explained my dilemma to her, and she listened intently. We decided on some private sessions to help develop a program that could deal with my flexibility concerns. Integrating various aspects of Pilates, stretching, foam roller exercises and yoga, Renee was able to create a program tailored to my specific needs. I am really pleased with the measurable progress. It was my blind luck that led me to Move Pilates and Renee. I strongly recommend this place. For a beginner like me I really appreciated the willingness to listen and individual support.

Move has been the perfect warm and welcoming atmosphere for a new-to-Pilates student. I’m especially grateful that the multiple instructors I’ve worked with so far are attuned to modifications for injuries and put so much emphasis on proper form to develop stability and strength, safely!
