The St. Louis Pilates Lab

I just recently moved to St. Louis and was thrilled to find the Pilates Lab. I am very new to pilates, but I have quickly fallen in love thanks to this spot. The studio is energetic, gorgeous and comfortable - it seriously feels like you're walking into a museum! Beyond the wonderful setting, the instructors are top notch. Classes with upbeat, fun, and always KICK MY BUTT!! Once starting class, I truly want to stay all day. It's THAT good! But when I do leave, I do so feeling like a whole new person - standing taller and feeling stronger and more connected to my body. And since starting, I've noticed a shift in my body's strength and mindset. I've progressed through exercises much quicker than I ever imagined I could and honestly I think it's because everyone here makes the space feel safe and accepting of people at all experience levels. It can be intimidating to try a new style of workout and join a new studio but if you're going to, THIS is the place to do it. And even if you're a pilates pro, I'm not not sure you could find a better spot to continue your practice. I am so grateful for the Pilates Lab!

The Pilates Lab: a beautiful studio with exceptional instructors. Kristen Davis, one of the co-owners, has been my Pilates guide, teacher and friend for 10 years. I met her when I was at an emotional and physical low after cancer surgery. I signed up for some individual sessions with Kristen to learn about Pilates, and she's been stuck with me ever since. Pilates has done wonders for my body and my self esteem, but it's the quality of Kristen's instruction -- quality and expertise shared by everyone on staff at the Pilates Lab -- that makes me confidently recommend Pilates for people of all ages, physical conditions and goals. Men and women, golfers, runners, skiers, tennis players, not to mention folks like me who stroll more than they power walk, can benefit. I am pushing 70 (and I'm not the Lab's oldest client at all), and I don't think there are any Pilates movements that can't be modified to suit how my joints are feeling. The Pilates Lab staff know what they are doing and delight in helping clients get the most out of a tailored workout in a safe and sane way. Plus, it's fun.

The studio recently started offering a mens class with Tess that has been challenging and a great workout. The space is welcoming, bright and the equipment is all new. Highly recommend!

I have been going to the Pilates Lab for several months now. I have worked with Susan Bange, Shannon West, Tess Losada, and Katie Fortney. All are amazing! All of the instructors are friendly, knowledgable, and ensure they modify exercises based on what muscles you have difficulty activating or stretching. As a physical therapist, I have been so impressed with my experience. It is fun and stress-relieving to come to the studio which is so important (especially during the pandemic). The studio has excellent cleaning and spacing policies so I have never felt unsafe during the pandemic. I can feel obvious changes in my mobility, flexibility, movement awareness, and precision of motion. I am so thankful to have an amazing studio close to home! I would recommend the Pilates Lab to anyone!

Most beautiful studio in St. Louis with an incredibly knowledgeable staff. The instructors are absolutely top notch. Experienced, warm and encouraging. If you want to get in shape, this is the place to be.

I have been working with Kristen Davis, the co-owner of the Pilates Lab for several years now, and I do not exaggerate when I say that working with her has changed my life. I was at a store some months ago and bumped into a physical therapist I had gone to for awhile. He had a look of complete shock on his face when he saw me, and he said, "What happened to you?" And I said, are you referring to my posture?" He nodded. I told him, "Kristen Davis and Pilates is what happened to me." I look different and I feel different, both physically and emotionally. Do yourself a favor and check out the Pilates Lab!

Highest quality you pilates will find in Saint Louis. The environment is addictive. Aesthetic, energy, and culture are beyond comparison. These women are ROCKSTARS! Have been steadily transforming my body since July. Very grateful to have them in the community and can't wait to feel what the next three months bring. xo

Great experience. They know how to modify workout for your particular needs and problems. My strength has increased significantly.

The atmosphere is amazing, new equipment, professional service! I love everything here☺️
