San Francisco Pilates

Junko is absolutely the best. I do one on one Pilates with her and she is beyond being a great trainer. She is a diagnostician and healer. She understands how the muscles and joints work and I am amazed at how she finds exactly the right exercise to heal a crunchy shoulder or an achy hip. I am stronger and more flexible than I have been in more years than I care to admit (okay, 25) and healthier. The best!!

Pros: great trainer

Fantastic results in a relatively brief period of time! Drawing from her dance background, her Stott Pilates certification, and outstanding eye for detail, Addie offers a thorough, holistic approach to physical training that is appropriate for all levels. I am a former professional dancer trying to overcome specific muscular weaknesses. By examining my posture and physical imbalances, Addie was able to identify exactly the right exercises that would help me gain better functionality and ease of movement.

after trying to force myself to go to the gym for years, i wanted to try something not only different but more personalized. this is the perfect place for that! the personal attention really helps those of us that need a little extra motivation. addie's expertise is very impressive and reassuring. since seeing my physical results, even my male friends are interested in trying it out!

Addie at SF Pilates did a spectacular job of firming up my "core", and getting me to be mindful of how I carry my own weight. Since her treatments, I've been free of what had been regularly recurring lower back pain due to an injury. The studio is well-equipped and a peaceful place for a Pilates session.

I have worked with Jesse (1:1) and Addie (group mat class), and they are both absolutely professional, knowledgeable, personable, and fun to work with. I just started a week ago but I have to say, as someone who has been putting the gym off for years, there is something so motivating about San Francisco Pilates. I actually look forward to going! The service is very personalized and tailored to meet your own specific personal needs. I highly recommend.

I've been working with Jesse for about a year and a half, and in that time she's really helped me manage the Chondromalacia in both my knees. When I first started seeing her, a "bad knee day" was when I didn't want to get out of bed because of the pain. Now, "bad knee days" are when my knees feel a little inflamed after a six-mile hike; they are few and far between.

Pros: quality rehab, good price, great location

Addie's personalized pilates program yielded stunningly fast results after just a couple of sessions. My husband couldn't have been more pleased with my strengthened transversus muscle! She invested thoughtful and loving energy into a personalized program that challenged me enough to get a wonderful endorphine rush, but not so much that I ever felt discouraged. I was always so surprised when the session was over - time just flew by while in her knowledgeable, gentle care.

I have been working with Jesse, the owner of San Francisco Pilates, for 8 months now. I have seen an amazing change in my body. She is very patient and her expertise is amazing. I love working out here so much more than just going to a gym!! I highly recommend Jesse and her team of kind and experienced pilates instructors to anyone who is looking to get in shape and tone their body.

Pros: experienced, kind, fun

Cons: none, none, none

Before working with Jesse at San Francisco Pilates I was focused on my advancing age and my physical limitations. Now, thanks to her expertise, her firm gentle guidance, and her absolute professionalism, I have more strength and vitality then I have had in years. I am beginning to look and feel the way I always hoped I could. Thanks Jesse.

Pros: inexpensive, great location, not in a gym

Working out at this studio has changed my body. I used to have constant back pain, but now I can do most of the things I couldnt before. And it looks like Ive grown an inch now that Im not hunched over all the time. I highly recommend Pilates, and the instructors at this studio are terrific!
