Springboard Pilates

I love getting to work with the instructors at Springboard. Their command of the Pilates method and their passion for healing is unparalleled in my experience. I mostly take virtual classes but have also traveled hours to Maine to work with their wonderful TPC trained instructors. Meredith is the owner and one of my favorite instructors. She also offers "pilates off the mat" coaching sessions which I encourage anyone to look into if you're looking for guidance from a wise, nurturing, and encouraging source.

When I came to Springboard Pilates 7 months ago, I didn't know anything about how Pilates works. The instructors are amazing: clear, encouraging and very skilled. Within a month, my body felt stronger and I was hooked. Not only do I love the classes and private/duet sessions, but also the videos on the website that I use for mat work at home. Meredith and the other instructors have created a remarkable community at Springboard and strive to help every student find strength and confidence in their practice.

I have been going to Springboard for about four years. It has seriously changed my life and my body for the better! I had never done Pilates before I went to Springboard for the first time. I was out of shape and had problems with some of my joints. Ashley was my first teacher, and she was amazing! Like all the teachers at Springboard, Ashley was meticulous and careful to watch me closely and to teach me the right way to do the exercises so that I would be safe and get the most out of each movement. From the first lesson, I was hooked, and I have been going regularly ever since. I have worked with many of the teachers, and they are all stellar!! Pilates is the only exercise I don’t hate, and it has helped so much with the function and alignment of my body. I feel better than I ever have. The teachers are so inspiring and attentive, and everyone there is very supportive and body positive. The studio is immaculate, the classes are fun, the attention to each individual is unparalleled. I will never go anywhere else!!!!

Springboard Pilates has truly changed my life. I was at a low point when I walked into the cozy West End studio and instantly felt at home. Even though my pilates experience was limited, the instructors warmly welcomed me and patiently helped me grow my physical strength, self-confidence and personal serenity. After a year of working weekly at Springboard, my body is noticeably more limber and lithe. I can do so much more on the equipment than I ever thought possible. I suppose that I do look fitter and slimmer, but honestly those results feel secondary to the peace of mind I have gained through regular practice. I highly recommend Springboard to anyone who is looking for an intimate exercise environment with highly knowledgeable teachers. It is an exceptional community!

The Reset package Andrea and Meredith offer is inspired and inspiring. They are awesome - intensely focused on watching and listening to me and my body. They bring an amazing skill set to the table, releasing some really naggy spots in my body during our session and giving me things to work on at home. I highly recommend this particular service, and both of them as individuals. Thank you!

I've taken a lot of different classes through the past few years at Springboard with many different teachers, and I've had such a great experience there with every class. I began as a total newbie and eventually was able to join the advanced mat flow class, and all along the way, Meredith and Cathryn and the other teachers have given me incredible support and feedback. Doing Pilates with these classically trained teachers has changed the way I move and relate physically to the world. I can't say enough good things about my experience there. I love Springboard!

Are you ready to be strong and toned? Springboard Pilates is for you. I have certain physical limitations, I was weak for the first time in my life. I've been working out at Springboard for approximately 4 years and I feel strong again. The instructors at Springboard are amazing! They are well trained, welcoming and knowledgeable. They care about how your body is feeling and work you out accordingly. It's nice to get a workout without it hurting...it's challenging, satisfying and there is so much more to learn! Check out Springboard, you won't regret it:)

Springboard Pilates is one of those places that makes me incredibly glad I live in Portland. The instructors approach every session with a thoughtful curiosity about how our bodies are working and how Pilates can improve our strength, flexibility, balance, outlook, and how our bodies relate to the space around us. I am confident when I get on skis, skates, play tennis, or take up any out-of-the ordinary activity because of my work at Springboard Pilates. Each instructor combines a level of professionalism with a healthy sense of humor that has kept me returning for 10 years. I leave every session with not just new strength and flexibility but a fresh perspective in my mind. I can't recommend Springboard enough.

When you hear stories about Pilates changing your body, it is because of places like Springboard. The dedication of the instructors to your form and movement is incredible and truly does make a difference in not only your body shape, but they way you are connected to it.My consultation with Ashley was insightful and spot on. From the group classes to the private lessons, every moment spent at Springboard is time (and money) well spent.

This place is awesome. I've been going for ten years and consider my work there an essential part of keeping my back (two operations) healthy. Not only are the instructors nice, fun, and patient, as a group they take their profession seriously and are always working to improve their practice and understanding of the body. They always ask questions about what feels good that day, what doesn't feel good, and make sure that the class fits what you need.I highly recommend Springboard Pilates. Your body will benefit tremendously, your spirit will be fed with good vibes, and you will gain lifelong friends!
