ReActive Movement

In 2017 I walked into this studio with crippling back pain from years of driving. I was formally diagnosed with severe stenois betwen L4 and L5. After some dedicated work, I have reached medication-free pain management through functional movement and strengthening. Thank you to Holly and the entire team at Reactive Movement for introducing me to Pilates and Body Harmonics. My core muscles really thank you!

I love this gorgeous, serene, light and airy studio, the instructors, and pilates! Reactive Movement is very welcoming and unintimidating, and I really appreciated that as a new student. I have been a client since 2019, and initially sought to resolve some knee and shoulder pain and movement limitation issues resulting from injuries. I started with 1-on-1 sessions, which very quickly and effectively provided relief and rehabilitation. Then as I progressed, I added classes which I enjoy very much. My strength, balance and symmetry have all improved dramatically. I am in my 50's so I am so grateful that I found this studio, to add to hiking and other active pursuits. The teachers at Reactive Movement really help me to maintain flexibility and the functional fitness needed to do everything else that I love to do. Jaclyn is a sincerely wonderful and thoughtful teacher, who is so knowledgeable and empathetic and I love both working with her individually and also in her classes. I always feel even in a class environment that the teachers really listen and are responsive to students and their needs and/or limitations as individuals. Just the best! I give it ALL the stars!

I love Reactive Movement! I have been going to classes and doing private sessions with Holly for almost 8 years. I used to struggle with a lot of chronic pain issues, but Holly, who is super knowledgeable is often able to fix me. I always feel seen and heard. The staff is always friendly. The space is great--clean, harmonious and spacious. They have just about any piece of equipment you could ever dream of and more. Struggling with back, knee, or hip pain? You've come to the right place! Reactive Movement will get you back in fighting shape!

I have been going to the studio since it opened and have taken classes from Holly prior to her opening the studio. All of the instructors are top notch. Well trained and everyone takes great care to understand each individual’s needs. The studio is spotlessly clean and the equipment is top of the line. When the studio moved to virtual classes this same care and attention to detail are evident in the classes offered. You won’t find a better experience. Do yourself a favor and try one of the classes or a private session.

After researching many local Pilates studios and instructors, I made the call to ReActive Movement 2.5 years ago. I was specifically interested in working with KaRon Dishmon, due to her extensive training and experience with spinal stenosis. From day one, KaRon identified and understood what was going on with my body. Both working together in the studio and showing me how to safely and effectively work out on my own, KaRon has helped me build strength and confidence. By maintaining copious, weekly notes about my progress, KaRon keeps my workouts relevant and challenging.Although the studio is beautiful and efficiently laid out, with a large array of well kept equipment, when the quarantine hit, KaRon and ReActive reached out with virtual sessions (group and individual). It felt as if we hadn't skipped a beat. I’m definitely a stronger and happier person because of KaRon and ReActive and I couldn’t be more thankful.

I started at ReActive Movement to deal with a long time lower back pain problem that had pained me for many years. My 1:1 sessions with Jaclyn really helped me get my back and body back on track and now i'm as healthy from my back as I've been in over 10 years. Now I understand how important pilates is at keeping important core muscles strong which is a foundation for overall musculoskeletal health and health in general. The instructors at ReActive movement are kind, helpful and very knowledgeable.

I love taking classes at ReActive. The space is so relaxing and the instructors are the best Pilates instructors that I have encountered. Jaclyn is so calm and she is great at explaining the movement and how your body mechanics should "ReAct!" I have had back issues and going to classes has helped by having the pain go away. I feel stronger after class. Thank you ReActive Movement!

I have been a client of Reactive Movement for nearly four years. I had been limping and hunched over because of the stiffness in my hip. These sessions can be described as “therapeutic workouts” - the movements are challenging but effective and are focused on strengthening the core, improving balance and flexibility. Within a few months, I felt relief and increased flexibility. Holly listens, observes and shifts gears as needed to address the cause of discomfort. These sessions are an investment for well-being and I would recommend Holly’s services for anyone experiencing aches and difficulties in movement.

Best Ever people and place for Pilates! This is my second year and I couldn’t feel better! I’ve been able to heal my back and sciatica with incredible core strengthening with Holly Wallis!

I feel like I’m part of the ReActive Movement’s Family!If you have been having joint, back neck or other pain, check out Pilates!It has changed my life, 65 and much, much better now! Jo

I have been a client of this studio since it opened. I have had other Pilates instructors at other places in the past, but this studio is by far the best. Holly understands the needs of those of us recovering from surgery and physical injuries. My instruction has continued on zoom during the quarantine. Even the quality of zoom instruction is better than other zoom exercise and physical therapy services I have tried. I recommend this studio and all the staff without reservation.
