    • 7,290 reviews

    Edina's boutique reformer studio has developed a loyal following among south Minneapolis and suburban members who want a more intimate class experience than the larger studios provide.

    "Really great instructor and class! I wouldn't go if you're brand new to Pilates, but if you have a few reformer classes under your belt you'll be fine. It's a super small class and you'll get one-on-one moments with the instructor."
