I had my first class today at Annex Pilates. The instructor made no effort to even say "hello," provide an opportunity for me to communicate that it was my first time (when I went out of my way to let her know, all she said was that the class would be "tough" for me), and did not ask anyone if they had any injuries. The sole feedback I was offered during the class was to use a modification: insulting and patronizing, as I had done it without on my other side already. The inordinate price tag of $44 per session could be warranted with hands-on, welcoming instruction. Unfortunately that was not my experience.

Annex Pilates offers a transformative and motivating experience.

I began my Pilates practice at Annex a couple years ago doing semi-private sessions with my wife to strengthen my core and help with chronic back pain, but since then it has done so much more for me. All the trainers at Annex are wonderful, and I have found a couple slow burn classes to attend regularly that continually challenge me. Celine, the owner, and Angela have both helped immensely in improving my form, posture, mobility, and overall strength. It has helped my running, my guitar playing (through better posture), and many other areas of my life. I recommend Annex Pilates to anybody that will listen to me on a run or gig.

Tip for newcomers: Classes fill up far in advance but get on the waitlist for a mixed level class, or schedule a private session or two, and get to know different trainers. Then it’s easier to know what you’re committing to when you sign up for classes in advance.

I’ve been coming to Annex Pilates at least weekly since summer of 2022, and for the last year I’ve been taking classes 3 days a week. Annex Pilates is the cornerstone of my wellness routine and has expanded my wellbeing immensely, physically and mentally. Within the first month or two I noticed improvements in my posture and core strength. I used to regularly experience painful neck and shoulder strains that would immobilize me for a week or longer - Pilates has cured that, as well as other aches and pains I used to have in my knees and hips. I don’t think my legs and core have ever been this ripped, I love my Pilates muscles! I feel so strong!
I attribute the success of my pilates practice to the amazing teachers at Annex Pilates! All of the teachers I’ve had class with are incredibly knowledgeable about the skeletal-muscular system and functional mechanics. Celine, the owner of the studio, is one of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with, her classes are always a great challenge, she’s very creative and always changes up the flow from class to class, plays great music during classes, and is such a lovely human and a ray of sunshine every time I see her. I always feel better after my classes at the Annex!

I've been attending Annex Pilates for the past month. There isn't enough time in the day to list all of the fantastic qualities of this studio and its teachers. Annex offers challenging, high-energy pilates sessions, and both Celine and Sasha are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive instructors that give their students dedicated, individual corrections and instruction throughout class with enthusiasm. Within the span of a month I've already seen major improvements in my posture, felt my abs being chiseled into shape, and have discovered regions of the body that I've never worked through any other activity, even as a long time yoga practitioner! This studio is phenomenal - can't wait to see what 1 year of results holds!

I was curious about this studio, being so close to my apartment, but attempts at contact via their listed email and telephone have yielded no response.

Celine is, without question, one of the best teachers/trainers I've ever encountered. I'm a middle aged guy who's taken a lot of yoga classes over the past 20 years, but never pilates until earlier this year. Celine's energy, clear instruction, gentle corrections, while getting straight to business, make her classes a true joy (and solid workout) . I'm officially a pilates convert and owe the enthusiastic conversion to Celine.

I highly recommend Annex Pilates. I have been taking classes there since they opened and have become stronger not only in my body but also in my mind. All of the classes and instructors are wonderful. I always leave class feeling amazing and that I've learned something new about my body given the personal attention from the small but mighty studio.

I have taken private pilates lessons, with multiple trainers, for 20+ years and can honestly say that Celine is by far one of the best trainers I’ve ever had. I always feel amazing when I leave her studio. Celine consistently has new exercises to try, offers the perfect ratio of strengthening and stretching, is extremely knowledgeable about all parts of the body and is an absolute pleasure to workout with. In addition to private sessions, the classes at Annex Pilates are excellent and the studio is in great condition and very clean. I highly recommend Celine and the other trainers at Annex Pilates!

Celine is AMAZING. Her classes are so challenging and fun (and this is coming from someone who hated to exercise before finding Pilates). I’ve been learning from her for over two years now and I don’t think it’s ever been the same routine twice - I don’t know how she does it! She’s an attentive teacher with an impressive understanding of how the body works. Beyond that, all the teachers here are great, the studio is spacious and clean, and they have Reformers, Springboards and every single prop you can imagine.

I have been taking classes at Annex Pilates since the day they opened and try to go as often as I can. I have been attending classes by the owner, Celine, for many years and I was beyond thrilled when she took over the space and opened Annex! I love her classes but honestly will take any class taught by anyone at her studio. I love the whole vibe of the place (aesthetic, music, energy etc) but the best part is that I haven't needed any physical therapy for my lower back ever since I started attending class regularly. this is huge for me! zero lower back for the past seven years. Every class is still a challenge - but I keep going as I am now pain-free. All levels are very welcome here, too !!

I LOVED IT! My body and mind feels alive! As a professional manicurist, I sit and bend my neck for a long period of time and it can be painful. So the class I took today, pilates springboard & mixed toys, targeted the right areas for me to stretch. My instructor Celine, was very thorough & encouraging. Her energy illuminates the room as she teaches. And, the studio is clean and cozy. I learned so much today and I feel very rejuvenated. I absolutely enjoyed training and I already scheduled my next class. Thanks Annex Pilates, I'm ready for my new body!

I highly recommend the mat classes at Annex Pilates. The instructors are all highly professional, knowledgeable, and cheerful—especially Celine, the owner. The studio is immaculate, the equipment is in tiptop shape, and much attention is paid to making the experience comfortable and rewarding. I take several classes a week and find that the routines vary each session so nothing gets stale or boring. I have chronic injuries which makes some exercises challenging but there are always modifications offered to accommodate my limitations. I always feel better after an hour at Annex Pilates.

I don't know what I'd do without this place. For the past few years I've been going 2-3 times a week. It's got a warm, neighborhoody vibe. Class sizes are small, and instructors are knowledgable, welcoming, and provide helpful guidance. I always feel great after a session here.
