After moving from Paris to Lexington, I was looking for a way to stay active and find a new community. PBL has been a game changer for me ! The welcoming environment and skilled instructors have helped me adjust both physically and mentally. The classes are diverse and oh so challenging. I’ve truly found a supportive place to call my fitness home here in Lex. Highly recommend it to anyone new to the area or looking to enhance their well-being! I would love to thank Hannah for this opportunity.. her kindness and attentiveness are really remarkable.

Pilates Barre Lex has been my best Pilates experience by far! The atmosphere and vibes are welcoming. Setting up my profile and classes on were also very easy and convenient. Everything is at your own pace, and all the equipment is very well taken care of. They do offer challenges and variations for everyone! The studio itself is super cozy, I could do Pilates there all day!!

Overall 10/10 Highly recommend!!

Before finding Pilates Barre lex I had never done Pilates. I was super nervous going for the first time but as soon as I stepped into the studio I felt at peace. I was worried I would be overwhelmed with the other people there since I was new, but the environment was super inviting and those nerves went away. The instructors and the other students were so welcoming! I didn’t feel judged and the movements we did were well explained so it was easy to figure out. All of the instructors I have had are wonderful and super sweet! I look forward to every class. The workouts you do are challenging but not overwhelming. I have only been doing Pilates for a month and I can already feel a difference in my body. If you are thinking about trying Pilates I would highly recommend Pilates Barre Lex!

Just did my first Pilates class ever at PBL a few days ago and I can confidently say it won’t be my last! The studio itself is so clean and well organized and has a very calming ambiance, perfect for this type of workout. And the workout itself was so much better than I anticipated, I’m still sore, but in the best way. I felt energized and refreshed afterwards, it was a great way to get my blood pumping in the morning. Finally, Hannah was a phenomenal instructor! She explained and demonstrated everything so that it was easy to understand and replicate, and gave form corrections when needed to make sure I was getting the most out of each exercise. Can’t wait to come back for another class! 🙂

Pilates Barre Lex has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I’d wanted to try Pilates for years but was intimidated by diving in blind. A search for a small studio to try private instruction led me to PBL. I loved their inclusive ethos I saw online and the moment I walked in I knew it wasn’t just marketing. It’s abundantly clear Hannah has put thought and love into every little detail to create her vision. Over two private sessions, Hannah took time to get to know me as a person, the quirks of my body, and taught me everything I needed to know to be comfortable going into my first group class. Each instructor I’ve had since has displayed the same care and attention that she did, and everyone I’ve met in class has been lovely and welcoming. Becoming a regular at PBL has strengthened my body, removed the negative self-talk in my head, improved my mental health, and given me a place to just “be”. PBL isn’t just where I go to Pilates class, it’s where I go to feel better and forget about everything else for 50 minutes. I’m beyond thankful for this charming studio and the magnificent souls I learn from and learn with. I couldn’t have found a better match!

I joined Pilates Barre Lex just under a year ago and I can easily say that it has been an amazing experience thus far. I had wanted to try reformer pilates for quite some time, but never attempted until being introduced to PBL. Hannah and the rest of the PBL team have created such a warm, welcoming environment and I thoroughly look forward to attending class each week. I am excited to continue my pilates journey at PBL and would highly recommend the studio to anyone who is wanting to try pilates!!

I can’t say enough good things about PBL or the people there. Everyone is so welcome (teachers and members). The teachers really take the time to help you with why injuries, making sure you have the correct form, the movements feel good with your body, and everything in between. With it being a small boutique studio, you really get the feeling of community. I look forward to each class and know that I’m getting a good workout in that will make my body feel good. I can’t recommend PBL more!

Writing this immediately after leaving class, where I spent reflecting on how far I’ve come since starting Pilates. I joined Pilates at the start of 2024. I turned 30 this year and I promised myself I would only do things that honored my mind, body and soul. Pilates Barre has done just that. I have gained so much since starting Pilates in so many ways. I have gained a different level of appreciation for my body. A want and desire to protect it and to make it feel good and to keep it feeling good. I have gained flexibility, mind control, a sense of community. I can come in knowing I’m going to cackle for 10 minutes but then take the next 50 to focus on me and my body and what my body and mind need that day. Pilates gives me empowerment. It challenges me in such healthy ways. It makes getting out of bed easier. It sets my mind right on the hardest of days. It’s peace and home and a challenge and beautiful and so many good things. Thank you Pilates barre and thank you Hannah!!!
