Pilates has changed my life for the better-Amanda with Jen, Doug, Amanda and the entire group of instructors at Simply Pilates have been instrumental in how I’ve been able to experience life as I’ve grown older with them since I moved to Scottsdale in 2015.
I had double cervical fusion last year and after my recovery Jen used her experience to encourage me to get back into my practice, many thanks to her even now with the personal coaching as I might need it!
The small classes at Simply Pilates allow for this great personal attention, and the convenient location makes it easy to get to class even when it’s busy in Scottsdale during “season”.
Their superior knowledge of the true Pilates principles insures all of their students do our exercises correctly, I’ve learned so much in ten years!
Thank you Amanda and all of the Simply Pilates family-

After several years of struggling with injuries and multiple surgeries to my ankle, knee and back, I was tired of getting steroid shots, PT that never quite work the way I expected and losing muscle strength, tone and definition I looked into Pilates on a recommendation from a friend. And boy am I glad I found Simply Pilates. The instructors, specially Alicia is phenomenal. I have always been very active, however I struggled with each injury and ended up being in pain almost every single day. I was desperate to try anything that would give me relief and help me live just a normal life without restrictions.

In just a few months I have gained strength, learned to be more conscious of my posture and body’s alignment - no two people have the same alignments and it’s crucial to know how you are aligned. Alicia has really helped me get through my normal life without pain. In my most recent MRI, for the first time in years my herniating in my lumbar spine hasn’t gotten any worse - this is huge for me. Last Sunday after all my chores (shopping, laundry, meal prep and cleaning) my back wasn’t sore. I wasn’t in pain.

I am so glad I found Simply Pilates - learning how to do the exercises correctly has been crucial. Alicia doesn’t just focus on my weaknesses, she helps me work my entire body and build strength. It’s little building blocks, but the time and energy is so worth it. I am starting to get my life back and I can’t wait to see where I am in another year or even 6 months.

I highly recommend it for anyone who is struggling with back, knee, ankle injuries or even if you aren’t - it’s always good to prevent injuries and move in alignment with your body.

I was highly recommended to take sessions with Amanda by another instructor—and now I completely understand why. She’s extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and has a sharp eye for detail to every session. I always leave feeling challenged and refreshed. The studio vibe is great too—highly recommend!

I've been coming to this studio for over two years now, and it's hands-down the best Pilates studio in Arizona. Working with Amanda has been an incredible experience—she brings a sharp eye for detail to every movement and creates a seamless flow that’s tailored to your goals. Her instruction is thoughtful, challenging, and always supportive. I can't recommend this place enough.

After moving to Arizona from New York, I had searched and tried many Pilates places. Nothing compares to this one. Everyone there is excellent, and they teach you the type of Pilates that benefits you through all stages of life (I started here when I was postpartum). I am very grateful to Amanda for keeping this true, classic Pilates. I always feel better (and taller!) after a class here. 🙌🏻🙏

I was recommended to Simply Pilates and couldn’t be more thankful. I have had flexibility and core strength training in the past but nothing like I
experienced at this studio. Jennifer and Amanda are beyond knowledgeable and professional. In a world of new and trendy studios, Simply Pilates has proven time and time again that they are “Simply” the best in the industry.

My body and soul are so grateful I found Simply Pilates. My strength and flexibility, especially in my spine, have noticeably increased. I’m getting so much out of the group classes -- instructors attend to my individual growth and challenge me while keeping a well-paced flow for everyone, regardless of level. I leave classes feeling like I've had a massage, maybe even better since you put in the work yourself. I credit Pilates for keeping me strong and "tuned up" as the years go by.

I moved to Arizona about 10 years ago and immediately started looking for a Pilates studio. I found Simply Pilates and Amanda and couldn’t be happier in her studio. She is so detailed in her teaching and helps us all out every session we have with her. Classes are so wonderful with only 5 to 6 clients. I have been to many studios and I do not like working out with 10 or 15 people. You don’t get any individual help if you are working out incorrectly.
I have never stayed with a studio for this long and I have no intention to leave! All the instructors are fabulous! I just love Pilates! Thanks to all!

I am so grateful for the team at Simply Pilates! I have been going to them now for 2 years and my body has drastically changed! I am stronger, healthier and happier thanks to them. Every instructor (Amanda, Jen, Doug, etc.) gives 110% everytime you walk in the door and they make sure you get the best 55 minutes of pilates! They make sure that you understand pilates, you have correct form and cater to your level. Plus the classes are small so you always get that personal touch.

It is miraculous!!! How can I at 77 years old be more agile, flexible, strong, and mobile then I was eight years ago? Simply Pilates classes have given me a much higher quality of life than I had at 69. I, honestly, believe my health would be quickly and seriously diminished without these amazing instructors. Clinically trained…I have no concern about their skills, methods, and ensuring I stay safe💖💖💖💖

I love taking classes and privates at Simply Pilates. It is a botique studio that offers small group classes (5 people or less) and privates. I love working with Gretchen on Saturdays.

The classical equipment turns on the musles fast to feel the burn. LOVE THIS STUDIO! Highly recommend for all levels and abilities.

I came to Simply Pilates after about 8yrs of regular practice. Once I started working with Amanda and the team at Simply Pilates I became stronger, more aware of my body and just started feeling tall, strong and good! Not only that, I seem to always be challenged in the studio. I have been with Simply Pilates for 10yrs now and there is rarely a session that goes by where I am not learning something new in the studio. It's the BEST place to learn, heal, and get strong for life. I love it.

I’ve been a student of Amanda’s, and Simply Pilates, for 10 years. On the one hand, you probably wouldn’t give a bad review to someone you have worked with for 10 years. On the other hand, you probably would’t work with somebody for 10 years UNLESS they were among the best. I’ve been a Pilates student for 20+ years..through good health and some difficult physical times. Amanda and her staff are “Simply” top drawer in terms of classical Pilates. Take it from an old guy who knows! Steven

I've been taking Pilates classes from Amanda G for 15 years. I had tendonitis in my shoulder and was getting cortisone injections every six months. I stopped those and now have full range of motion and no pain. I wouldn't have believed that I could exercise for an hour and enjoy it, but I do!

Joining this studio is the best thing I have ever done for my physical health. I used to really dislike exercising, but these classes teach you how to use your body correctly, so daily tasks and any exercise you do outside of Pilates become much more intuitive, easy, and fun. I’ve gained more muscle just by going once a week than I have in my whole life playing sports etc., because I’m using my muscles correctly now. I take private classes with Doug. He’s fun and kind and really good at his job. I am very glad I joined.

I have been a pilates aficionado for 20 years. I have worked in a number of studios in the valley, and elsewhere. Simply Pilates is in a class by itself! The level of the instructors, and personalized cuing is almost like having private lesson in a small class setting. The clients are serious in their pursuit of improved performance, and yet bring a fun, light-hearted attitude to class. It is a wonderful studio in which to learn, and expand your pilates journey.

I started at the Simply Pilates studio in January 2016, never having done Pilates before. The instruction, encouragement and positivity by each instructor, the camaraderie of my fellow Pilates -goers, and the positive results in my body and well being have made Pilates a part of my everyday life. Classes are smaller, so can be contoured to what the students need and insure that the instructor has "eyes-on" each student. They have the full complement of equipment, including Reformers, mats/towers, Wundachairs, a ladder barrel, plus magic circles, hand weights and foam rollers. During the pandemic, they made a huge effort to keep us all dialed in by offering a variety of Zoom classes. There is so much to love about Pilates classes because they are different all the time while perhaps working the same muscle groups. Private and semi-private lessons are also available. The Simply Pilates Studio is simply the BEST!!

After moving to Phoenix from New York, I tried a bunch of "Pilates" studios, but none of them were the real thing, they were offshoots that did not resemble authentic, original, classic Pilates. Until I found Simply Pilates and knew I was finally at home! This is a beautiful, amazing studio with classically trained instructors. I've been doing Pilates for 20 years and hope to continue for another 20! (I'm 72). There are men and women here of all ages and abilities, from beginner to advanced. I highly recommend it.

Simply Pilates is the best. Amanda and the other instructors provide a thoughtful, differentiated environment that supports the needs of ALL students. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. They make it a priority to know the students' needs and injuries and always make adjustments so you leave feeling stronger. I was a classically trained Pilates instructor, so I have been fortunate to work with amazing instructors and master trainers. When I moved to AZ, I spent over a year trying studios in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area... until I found Amanda and Simply Pilates. I have been coming for almost two years, and I absolutely love it! You won't find a better studio!

The other instructors in the studio are just as fantastic as she is. This is a judge free zone where everyone encourages others to be their best. Other studios in the valley seem clicky and competitive - that is not this studio!

Simply Pilates helped me avoid back surgery. In fact, my back pain has mostly disappeared thanks to Simply Pilates and my diet! Amanda and Rebecca are simply outstanding instructors and their relentless focus on form, technique and micro movements are perfect for my condition. I have been going to Simply Pilates in Scottsdale for 2 years, twice a week, and its working for me. As a very active senior, my spirits have never been higher and I feel great, physically and spiritually. My mantra is “WOW” — working on wellness.
I was thrilled to see Amanda featured on Channel 3 news in Phoenix yesterday just before I went in for my session which always elevates my mood, aligns my body and puts a spring in my step. Its like discovering the fountain-of-youth and can’t wait for the next lesson.

I've been going to Simply Pilates for 5+ years and still look forward to every class! After injuring my back, my doctor recommended core strengthening workouts to prevent needing surgery. I turned to Pilates (more specifically Amanda & Simply Pilates) and haven't looked back. I've tried other studios throughout Phoenix, but NONE compare to the individualized attention you receive here. Class sizes are ideal (max of 5 people) allowing the instructors to focus on your form and provide customized workouts. My workout routine includes 2-3 Pilates classes/ week. I'm happy to report I no longer have back pain, my core is strong and I've toned my arms and legs. I highly recommend Simply Pilates!

Cannot say enough great things about Simply Pilates. We've worked with Rebecca for over 15 years, and with Amanda for 10. We've followed them everywhere, and are so pleased that we now call Simply Pilates our Pilates home.

The studio itself is lovely and the equipment is first rate. Can't recommend highly enough.

I've been a client of Simply Pilates for over a year now - starting there after foot surgery that left me without the ability to weight bear on one leg for 6+ weeks. Amanda (the owner) designed a workout around my foot that was fantastic and was a huge help throughout rehabilitation. In fact, my surgeon regularly commented on how Pilates was definitely speeding my recovery and flexibility. Sold on Pilates, I've continued to take classes from both Amanda and Rebecca. They are incredibly knowledgeable (as are the rest of the team of instructors at the studio) and all experts in their field who have been teaching many many years, which is exactly what you want with something as precise as Pilates. I love the studio and all the wonderful people I've met in class. Oh - and my mom and dad have caught the Pilates bug and are now regulars too! Whether you are an experienced student or new to the Pilates world, I'd highly recommend Simply Pilates!

She has helped me through knee replacement surgery, back surgery and now some heart issues, but I'm still able to hike and golf and enjoy Winter in Arizona.
