Fitwise has been a great studio to me since we arrived to Marin County from NYC. Elizabeth, Dannielle, Fran and Jean have all been amazing. The front desk staff is so helping and accommodating. Highly recommend this studio for Pilates, Gyrotonics, and myofascial work with Fran!

All the instructors I've delt with have been very knowledgeable as well as friendly and upbeat. I've done both individual as well as group lessons. I've used individual sessions for more in-depth instruction and problem area work. The group classes are fun and instructors teach to your level and to push you to improve as you go forward.

I have worked out at many facilities over many years, Fitwise, hands down, has the most experienced and well trained trainers I have been privileged to work with. Their knowledge of anatomy and physiology has me often wondering if I have come in for physical therapy or a work out. They keep me walking upright and the work outs help me stay strong and flexible.

I've been meaning to write a review for some time. I am new pilates and was recommended Fitwise by a very good friend. The staff and instructors are incredible. I've taken several private sessions with Fran (she is a PT and Pilates instructor). I've never had so attention on my body. I'm already seeing results in the way I move and feel, and how I carry my body. I've also taken a class with Rhonda (amazing!). I highly recommend this studio even if you're new to Pilates! You will not be disappointed.

FitWise pilates studio is the ONLY studio youโ€™ll ever want to be in. Iโ€™m totally hooked. The owner, Ronda, has made a haven for people that want to improve their overall health, well being and calmness. They offer so many different classes and always work with you and whatever your special needs are. As soon as you walk in you will feel so welcome. Every single person that works there is amazing. Iโ€™ve truly never been in better shape!

Iโ€™ve had private sessions at Fitwise for 7 months now with Jean and Dannielle, as I have long sustained back issues. The care, kindness and knowledge these skilled practitioners have bestowed has made a significant difference in my now erect posture, yielding far less pain and also given me helpful instruction on what I can do at home to help myself.

This is a first class studio I absolutely recommend whole heartedly!

I've been with FitWise since it opened in Mill Valley many years ago . I take the restorative classes with Jean- Marie on Wednesdays and it is my favorite solution to aches and pains. I also do Privates with Alison, Olivia and Beverly. Each staff member brings their own insight and keep the sessions interesting.

I continued with sessions through the pandemic and am thankful to Ronda and the team that they survived.

I have weekly standing appointments, have no pain and enjoy an active life which I was once restricted to do. The entire staff is very friendly and supportive.

I love Fitwise Pilates & Gyrotonic. The space is clean, fresh and elegant, and the equipment is first-rate. Kendra, at the front desk, and Rhonda, the owner, are welcoming, helpful, knowledgeable and highly professional. Dannielle, the pilates instructor I work with, has a deep background in dance, pilates, and gyrotonics. Her knowledge of anatomy is thorough; she is kind, supportive and a gifted teacher. I always look forward to my sessions and am so impressed with everything this studio has to offer. I highly recommend Fitwise Pilates & Gyrotonic to anyone interested in a thoughtful and intelligent approach to exercise.

I went to Rhonda I started with Rhonda six years ago with chronic back pain She has help me overcome many obstacles today I am strong and pain-free. Iโ€™ve also worked with other staff members at the studio who are hands-down the best instructors in the bay.
The instructors at FitWise are by far the best that I have found in all of the studios in Marin and San Francisco. If youโ€™re looking for expert care and are meticulous studio that Waze is the place for you.

I love everything about Fitwise and the entire group of instructors. They do an amazing job of keeping track of my personal goals / benchmarks and ensuring that I make progress with every visit. Also, while the MindBodyOnline app can sometimes be challenging for scheduling multiple privates, the team at Fitwise will always work directly with me over email to set up multiple months in advance. I really appreciate that custom approach and facilitation. And, most importantly, I can finally do some sequences that were previously impossible. I can't recommend Fitwise enough!

I have had issues throughout my life with bad posture due to hours spent in front of a computer. I have tried a few other studios but someone recommended Fitwise and for me there was no turning back. I have been working with Jen who is beyond fabulous. She is like the Yoda of Bodywork. She is so in-tuned with your body and what you need to do to feel stronger and more aligned. I have had a few private sessions with her and each time I leave feeling a little less lopsided and taller! I have done a few of the classes which are also great but I do recommend a private to learn what good position feels like. And Jen is amazing!

I have been taking classes at FitWise for about 2 years now, first for Pilates and now GYROTONIC. I can say, as someone who always sort of hated going to the gym, that this amazing community of talented instructors with sincere attention to your personal fitness goals, is the best fitness experience I have ever had. My body has transformed in ways I never imagined possible, and it is enjoyable to boot, no suffering for a fit + toned body, just mindful focus and training in a supportive atmosphere with a community of great women. Since my GYROTONIC practice began, I have been able to improve my form for surfing, swimming, walking, working, and hiking and gained .25 inch in height! Can't say enough great things about FitWise!

Fitwise Pilates is awesome. I never went to a Pilates studio before and all the instructors went patiently with me through all the initial steps. Ronda is fantastic, she takes care of each customer and mentors closely all the instructors.The experience is both highly professional and very friendly. I very highly recommend it!

I feel compelled to share my experience with FitWise Pilates and especially working with Leila. I started with Leila just over a month ago hoping that Pilates would help my lower back pain. We began slowly with stretching and strengthening exercises and I am already seeing so much progress. My back pain is greatly diminished and I have learned so much about my body, muscles I didn't know existed. posture, and movements to help me throughout the day. It is worth every penny and I have complete confidence in Leila!!! I would recommend FitWise and Leila without hesitation. They are a both a 10 out of 10!

The instructors at FitWise are VERY knowledgeable, attentive and focused. I'm new to Pilates and wasn't sure what to expect (and a bit intimidated about the reformers & equipment) but the instructors there are so good at what they do, I was quickly put at ease and after 2 sessions already felt a difference. The classes are small so there is more individual attention and adjustments. Very high caliber all the way.

Lucky to have them in Mill Valley.

I started pilates at Fitwise about 6 months ago, hoping it would help with a chronic neck problem. Not only has it helped my neck, but I'm stronger overall and the training has made me aware of the bad habits that were contributing to my aches and pains. I highly recommend Fitwise, and starting with a handful of one-on-one sessions with the owner, Ronda, or one of her highly trained staff. They are very good at studying your body, zeroing in on the weak points, and devising a plan to heal and strengthen. The pace might seem a little slow at first, but trust that it will help you build strong basics so that you donโ€™t end up hurting yourself once you advance into the classes. Classes are small and instruction specific to each individual's needs.

Very knowledgable and welcoming. When I went into Fitwise Mill Valley, it was my first time doing Pilates. I started with 3 individual sessions. Both teachers were attentive, understanding and worked with the strengths and needs of my body. Everyone I've interacted with at Fitwise is very kind and helpful. I'm looking forward to attending classes!

First pilates studio I've ever worked with, and they're great. Came in looking to correct 40+ yrs of bad sitting/standing/walking habits and moderate running abuse, and it's working. Each equipment class varies the moves, which keeps it from feeling routine, and always leaves me feeling great; teachers are all consistent, confident and attentive to each student; equipment all feels new, clean and solid. I"ve done classes and private sessions, I don't think you can go wrong. Great to have Ronda and the FitWise crew in town.

Excellent studio, clean space, and the instructors are really into what they do, they are knowledgeable about the body, and seem to do research to keep it fresh. Mindful too, of the various levels of all the students. I have tried 2 other places in the past year and they don't compare to Fitwise.

I started pilates at Fitwise El Cerrito the summer of 2014 and it has changed my life. When I was introduced to pilates by my wife, despite my athletic background, I was over 20 pounds overweight and in need of an exercise program that better fit my lifestyle and that offered a change from my boring old gym workout.

From my first private class at Fitwise, I was amazed at the knowledge the instructors had and their ability to focus on core strength and helping their clients complete each exercise with optimum technique. Ronda and her instructors took the time to get to know me and my goals and have never stopped working to help me achieve them.

I credit Fitwise with providing me the motivation to lose over 25 pounds and pushing me to make health and fitness a priority in my life. For the last year, I have started training and competing in triathlons and I owe my new passions to Fitwise and the strength of body and spirit that they help instill everytime I am at the studio.

I have taken a variety of Pilates classes at a lot of different studios. FitWise Pilates is fantastic. Rhonda, the owner, has created a light, airy, immaculately clean studio (and offers great looking work out clothing). They offer pilates, some bar classes and mixed classes. Stephanie my pilates instructor is amazing - she can craft an individual workout for any and all of your goals. She is incredibly skilled. I highly recommend the studio!

FitWise has the best equipment and the best trained teachers that I have experienced. Rhonda, the owner has had the best training from the best in the movement business. Since starting her rehab type Pilates , I have been cured of chronic pain that I had been experiencing. I am older and have gained strength and my posture is improved immeasurably. I can't recommend the more.

Experts in functional fitness, mobility and core strength in a gorgeous, new studio! I was referred to FitWise by a trusted friend and have been so happy with my experience there. For me, the private sessions are like physical therapy and personal training in one. Ronda and Stephanie have taught me so much! I thought I knew Pilates but FitWise is an entirely different level of skill and knowledge. I'm a mom and I've learned the hard way that post-natal fitness must be built upon a healthy foundation! It takes a lot more than just cardio or doing the same old exercises by myself in the gym. Since going to FitWise, my core is stronger and tighter and my posture is much improved! I just purchased a new package to continue with these sessions and can't wait to see more results. These ladies are the best!!

I took my very first Pilates class at FitWise Pilates and I haven't stopped taking classes since! Ronda and all of the Instructors at FitWise are warm and welcoming. I thought about taking a Pilates class long before I actually took one because I was intimidated by the equipment and reformers. But not at FitWise! I felt very comfortable and welcomed from the moment I stepped inside. It is a beautiful studio and very clean. The instructors are patient and extremely helpful with their cues and corrections. My body has loved every class! I am becoming noticeably stronger, I have much better posture and I am more aware of my overall well-being. I started taking classes 4 months postpartum and my recovery has been quick with ease. I love the community that FitWise has created so much that I inquired about working there, and I'm now at the front desk, set to begin training so that I can become a Pilates Instructor one day! I am so thankful for this studio, it has helped me heal and strengthen my mind and body connection.

I highly recommend Mill Valley FitWise Pilates!! For the last 30 years, I have made daily exercise a priority. Recently I began to have hip and leg pain. During a private pilates session with Ronda, she reviewed my MRI report and assessed my alignment and mobility. She was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable, and recommended that I start in a Movement Medicine class for rehabilitation and improved functional fitness. This class was custom tailored, and I was very impressed with my instructor Jean who was also highly trained and knowledgeable. After only one class I felt my pain subsiding. I am hooked and look forward to moving into the more advanced pilates equipment classes soon!

I joined Fitwise Pilates in El Cerrito a year ago with little to no knowledge of Pilates, and I have been amazed by the results.

Suffering from chronic lower back problems and determined to keep riding my two horses every day, I turned to Michelle for help; first for individual sessions, and then weekly classes. Due to Michelleโ€™s patient, diligent guidance, I've been able to get into better shape than I was 10 years ago, and without causing more injury. I also learned to work on my issues outside of the studio.

Michelle has an intuitive sense about when to increase the challenge or when to back off and offer a suitable compromise. She explains every movement or even demos it (gracefully and effortlessly which makes you want to try extra hard!), so that the benefit of the exercise becomes instantly clear. I always walk out of her sessions taller, lighter and with energy to burn. And most importantly, Michelle has a lovely sense of humor and an effervescent, yet highly professional personality, which is key to motivating me beyond where I think I can go.

I am an infinite work-in-progress, and so very grateful to be able to work with such a talented, enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher.

I recently moved to Mill Valley from NYC and was looking for a great pilates studio for a while. Fitwise has been perfect for me. One thing I love about Fitwise in comparison to other barre and pilates classes out there is that they are constantly changing it up, so that it's not the same routine every time you go and working different muscles each time as well. Almost every time I am sore in a muscle I didn't even know I had! I have never once been bored in a class. Not to mention, the exercises are so specific (if you are doing them correctly!) that you have to have 100% focus on what you are doing which for me, is slightly meditative. I really look forward to exercising with them each week. All of the teachers are wonderful and know true pilates, inside out. I've taken pilates in all of the places I've lived- in the US and abroad, and Fitwise is my favorite. HIGHLY recommended.

I have been working with Ronda and Mari of FitWise Pilates in Mill Valley since the day it opened. The studio is lovely, light, and welcoming, the equipment is top notch, and Ronda and her team of instructors are sensational. In just three weeks the improvement in my swimming, running, alignment, and flexibility is quite noticeable. If you are seeking personalized instruction, look no further. What a gift to the community!

I love being active. As an athlete I choose to be outside. I believe the space in which you work out is just as important as the work out itself. The activities I enjoy (swimming, hiking, skiing, cycling, and rock climbing) must be outside. Years ago I injured myself and I must be mindful of my injury. This requires me to focus on rehabilitation and strength training in order for me to be core strong. I found my ideal place to train FitWise Pilates and Wellness Mill Valley. This studio is clean, spacious, with natural light from skylights. Rondaโ€™s instructors are welcoming and highly trained. I drive from Sausalito to train in this stunning indoor space. If you are in the North Bay this is a must try Pilates studio.

I've had a bad back for as long as I can remember. In 2012, I developed severe sciatic pain that made even the most basic movement difficult, so I began doing pilates. I found my way to FitWise Pilates and Wellness in early 2013 and haven't looked back since. It took only one private session with Ronda for me to realize FitWise would change my life forever, and I feel blessed to have made what I know will be a lifelong connection. I am transformed, thanks exclusively to the incredible instructors at FitWise and their highly unique approach to the practice of pilates.

I no longer live in pain. I am stronger than ever before. And my movement is fluid, deliberate, and empowered. I look forward to every class with palpable enthusiasm and leave each time feeling stronger, more confident, and blissfully content, looking forward to the next. Thanks also to the extraordinary dedication of the FitWise team to an ongoing education in movement and the practice of pilates, every class is truly invigorating, exploring new realms of movement while reinforcing all that I've learned along the way. And while I feel my practice has advanced a great deal over the years, I also know that I can take a beginners class at FitWise and feel as challenged as in any other. The expertise of all the instructors allows people of all levels to practice together, as they provide progressions for each move that enable everyone to work at a level that is both comfortable and challenging. Lastly, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and free of any judgement. I cannot speak highly enough of FitWise and strongly encourage anyone interested either in starting pilates or in furthering their practice to join this incredible group.

Indeed, my experience at FitWise has been so positively transforming that I've decided to do their teacher training. I will never live with chronic pain again.

I've been attending private training sessions for a while now, and from day 1 Ronda has made me feel so welcome at her studio. All of the instructors really know what they are doing, they communicate and work with you to help you reach your goals - whether you're a beginner or advanced, looking to do Pilates for rehab, or for a tough workout to tone your body, they do it all! I've worked mostly with Michelle, she is just the very best and with her guidance I am constantly improving my strength and feeling challenged. Highly, highly recommend Fitwise Pilates!
