Bodytonic is the best seattle pilates studio!

by Tanyaya at Citysearch

I've been working out at Bodytonic for about a year and am loving it. I relocated here from New York and tried out 3 different studios before deciding on Bodytonic. I choose Bodytonic based on:

1)Atmosphere - The studio definitely has the best atmosphere of any of the studios I've visited. The teachers and other clients alike are all very friendly and down to earth. The studio is totally cute and housed in a super cool historic turn of the century building in pioneer square and they play awesome music (which definitely helps inspire a good workout.)

2)Instructors - The instructors are well educated and a perfect balance of kick your a**, yet nurturing, supportive, and inspiring. They always keep me on my toes and keep me challenged, no cookie cutter workouts here. Plus they have always have been so accommodating with my schedule!

3)Pricing - Their rates can't be beat!

I also have to mention that since working out here my chronic shoulder pain has been alleviated and I've dropped down a few sizes. Love it!

Bodytonic Pilates

I have been working out at Bodytonic for close to 2 years and I dont have a single complaint! Nadia is an excellent instructor, she is also a really great gal. I am often impressed that she can be so flexible with people and their schedules and still run such a great little studio. Her customer serivce is exceptional and you won't recive this kind of specialized care at a larger pilates studio. If you are looking for a fun but challenging workout then this is your place!

• Pros: good price, great location, excellent customer service, fun atmosphere

Great workout, parking can be tough.

I've been going here for 1 1/2 years and enjoyed every minute of! Nadia is experienced and great at helping you work on your deficiencies. I have a bad back and bad knees, which have improved greatly since I've started working out with her. She's also very flexible and fair in regards to scheduling and makeup sessions. Overall it is well worth the money and parking hassle!

Excellent training and customer service

by vav2 at Citysearch

I have been training at Bodytonic Pilates for over one year and have had an excellent experience with both the training and customer service. I have found that the training with Nadia is a great addition to my other workouts/activities.

I wanted to comment on the review by munich8 and say that I have never had a problem with Nadia's customer service. Her cancellation policy is very clear and reasonable. This is a small business. When someone cancels at the last minute, there is not enough time to fill that spot and the studio essentially bears the loss especially if the person canceling tries to do their "make up" by adding it to their next package. It is possible that a larger studio might be able to accommodate last minute cancellations but I doubt that they will be able to provide the training and service that Nadia and Erin can provide.

I would highly recommend Nadia and Bodytonic Pilates.

• Pros: Staff, Location, Environment, Music

A Response From the Owner to Munich8's Review

by bodytonic at Citysearch

Hello, this is Nadia, owner of Bodytonic. First off, I'd like to say that I'm very sorry to hear of Jenny's disappointment in the service she received at my studio. Had she made me aware of this in person, while she was still attending the studio, I would've done my best to rectify the situation for her & her husband. In understanding that emergencies ( health & otherwise) can arise with little notice I have a make up class procedure implemented at the studio. This system enables clients who have to miss (with or without 24 hours notice) a class they are scheduled for to sign up for make-up classes so they don't have to miss out on classes they have paid for. We do ask that students sign up for make-up classes while they are currently in a package (not after they decide to leave the studio). I had already extended the 24-hour cancelation policy for Jenny & her husband 1-2 each, so at least 3 times they did not pay for lessons they had scheduled and the studio took the loss, after this I felt it appropriate to hold them accountable to the make-up class procedure that most students really appreciate. I'd also like to add that the studio does have a referal incentive program, for each friend you refer who purchases a package you receive 15% off the purchase of your next package. For the 3 clients Jenny did refer she received $100 in discounts. For more studio details and client reviews, please check out our website: www.bodytonicpilates(dotcom) Thanks!
