There is no better place for Gyrotonic—anywhere—than Studio Fala Moves. Even if we could say everything there is to say about the instructors, the classes and the supremely individualized training at the new Studio Fala location, it would not be enough. It must be experienced in real life and in real time…

We heard about Studio Fala Moves, and the founder, Julia Chubaryan, when we were visiting New York a few years ago; and we shall remain eternally grateful for the referral as we have achieved new levels of health and wellness through Gyro —something that would not have been possible without Julia’s saint-like patience, attentiveness, sensitivity, insight, wisdom, and—frankly—brilliance as a master Gyro instructor in our eyes …

If you have ever practiced Gyro, you know it is a difficult discipline to learn; even more challenging to teach as so much of the work requires remaining connected—mentally and physically—in opposition; a connection that happens through a combination of intense visualization and imagination. It can be an arduous and sometimes frustrating journey into an elusive realm that— at times— feels as if it lies somewhere beyond the inner and outer body. With Julia as our guide, however, we are able to confidently meet every challenge in both a visible and invisible reality, and push ourselves to achieve new and greater goals in our sessions, which often times requires asking our bodies—and minds—to make moves they have never made before….

Week after week, we continue to learn and grow as Julia’s clients, finding joy and strength —and relief —through our Gyro practice at Studio Fala Moves; a deeper sense of peace in our daily lives; and, as a result, a kind of body/mind healthiness (and thus happiness) we never thought possible…not in this life, anyway…Evermore thanks, Julia…and thank you Studio Fala Moves…🙏

I’ve taken both mat and reformer pilates with Michelle and I must say, she’s one of the most personable instructors in the field. Her attention to detail and accommodating nature makes the experience all in all super comfortable. She’s well-versed with years of experience and explains each move with great insight.

I was also impressed by the central location Studio Fala is located in and the rustic/homey vibe of the studio itself.

I can't say enough good things about Fala! All of the instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable about the methodology, but they also have a deep understanding of the body. Their expertise and guidance have made such a difference in how I feel. On top of that, everyone is super friendly and welcoming, creating a positive and supportive environment.

Fala Moves is a new organization started by Julia Chubaryan who I've worked with for years. This is so helpful and growth-producing, I can't recommend it highly enough! Even once a week with Julia will make you feel healthier!!!
In addition - I know Julia knows the body so well - like all dancers! All the reviews below mine are also so helpful and so true. I've been recommending working with her to everyone I know.

I started taking in person Gyrotonics at Julia's studio in Chicago and loved every aspect of it. Now because of Covid we have transitioned to online. I was skeptical at first but am now a complete convert to at home Gyrotonics. Julia is adept at helping me get the most out of the workout. She makes corrections and gives awesome cues to help me attain and maximize each position. I get an invigorating work out with Julia. She is encouraging and gentle in spirit but focused on giving you her best at every moment.
