When planning a bachelorette weekend in Boulder we knew we wanted to include a group Pilates class! We had a hard time finding a place to do this until we came across Bolder Pilates. They were amazing to work with from start to finish. They emailed me back right away and scheduling a time for our class was a breeze. I worked with Donna and she was the one who taught our class too. We had an amazing morning at the park with Donna and she was so fun and easy to work with especially for beginners like us. Can’t recommend Border Pilates enough if you are planning a bachelorette trip in the area or just looking for a fun way to hangout with the girls!

Boulder Pilates was a great experience! I was in town for a conference, and took a 10am class with Lexy. She was incredibly welcoming and helped me productively improve my form. We worked out our backs and deep lower core and I was pleasantly sore the next day :)

Bolder Pilates is truly an amazing place! I had never done pilates before coming here, and I was able to learn the basics through private lessons which prepared me and made me comfortable to take the group sessions. All the instructors are fabulous, they each are incredibly experienced, kind, and non-judgmental. I always leave feeling stronger, healthier, and energized. Beautiful, welcoming, clean, modern venue for any level of pilates!

I've been practicing pilates for about 3 years now and have recently started practicing at Bolder pilates! It's a lovely, clean studio. They offer a wide variety of levels, times and teachers. Boutique studios like this one can be hard to get into, especially for someone who works during the day. I have absolutely loved Melissa's jump board class on Mondays- giving pilates a twist and true challenge by making it a little more cardio demanding. Di is a lovely teacher as well, very thorough and experienced. I can see that my pilates will only continue to deepen as I spend more time working with these lovely teachers! I highly recommend it!

I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of the Bolder Pilates community. The energy, the instructors, and the sense of connection here are just unmatched.

What I love most is how each class is personalized—whether you're flowing through a challenging workout or focusing on form and alignment, the attention to detail is incredible. The instructors truly care about your progress, both physically and mentally.

If you're looking for a place that’s more than just a workout, where you can grow in strength, community, and confidence, Bolder Pilates is the spot. Couldn’t recommend it more!

I've been going to Bolder Pilates for a few years now - I love the classes they offer and every instructor is so nice and welcoming. I started going here when I was pregnant and took their classes up until I delivered. Every instructor was familiar with how to make modifications for me throughout my pregnancy which was appreciated and welcoming! Their classes are small so you get more attention to your form - Highly recommend this studio!!

I’ve been to many Pilates studios and classes from here to the east coast and am happy to share that this is the real deal!

The studio is easy to access (from any direction in town) and has a large parking lot. As it’s just off the beaten path traffic and parking constraints are not an issue.

The studio is sparkling clean and there are always refreshing beverages to enjoy if you forget your water or tea at home. Sometimes there are treats too!

Forgot your socks or want a stylish new top or leggings? They have those available too!

Bolder Pilates has also been known to have fun events over the years - some in studio and some in local parks.

Hooks near the entrance as well as an area for footwear lend a homey feel and let you stow your stuff nearby when attending class.

While my first and fave instructor was Lexi I have met many others over the years. The owner, Donna is also a wonderful, knowledgeable, motivating and welcoming instructor.

The group classes I’ve attended had about 5-6 students. Being in a class of this size ensures not only wonderful personalized instruction but also our safety which is very important and often overlooked at studios that just pack em in like sardines. Instruction is clear and the knowledge and expertise the staff have of the musculoskeletal system is evident.

Incorporating Pilates into my wellness practice gives me a better sense and strength of my center, posture, and peace of mind. With an improved posture I feel on top of the world and ready to tackle whatever life throws at me next.

I started going to Bolder Pilates in February 2022 while rehabbing a climbing injury.

From the 3 intro classes forward I became absolutely hooked by the studio, the staff, and the strength I felt growing in my body.

Already an athlete, the teachers at this studio took me to the next level in my sport and in my whole body wellness.

I’ve been a near weekly attendee and when I go too long without a class I not only miss the workout- I miss the community too!

I can’t praise this stellar studio enough. ❤️

After my long-time pilates studio closed in Boulder, I tried a few locations around town. I was looking for flexibility in class styles, class schedules, and instructors. I wanted a studio that‘s foundations were built on breathe, stability, elongation, and core stability. You can get a cardio burn in the Jump classes, for sure, but I am here for the stabilizing balance that Pilates brings to my body and my lifestyle. Bolder Pilates has it ALL! I find all the instructors to offer something unique - some classical, some modern - but all kind, aware, and thoughtful with movement. Even a seasoned student will learn new things each class. Classes are intimate with about 5 or 6 students per class, yet package offerings are affordable (for Pilates)! I cannot recommend Bolder Pilates more! Join us!

All of the staff at Bolder Pilates are extremely knowledgable on the human body, are kind, caring and compassionate. This studio offers so much more than Pilates. It is rehabilitative, the community is so welcoming, and they truly make a difference in the lives of their clients. Seriously love this place!!! Plus- they're a small, local, woman owned business!

I was a customer of this place for about two years. The Pilates instruction was fine, but the tone of the studio was pretty dysfunctional. I’ve lived in the Boulder area for decades and am a former teacher in Boulder Valley Schools for 25 years. The attitudes of the instructors made it seem like a club where some don’t feel welcome. The overall feeling is that it’s sort of a private studio for select customers, and because of this I was actually excited to switch to Zoom lessons when the pandemic hit. There was also major turnover in instructors while I was there and so I was always working with a new teacher. I know there are many Pilates studios in town and I would try a different one because the tone here is not desirable.

My husband and I were customers of this place for about two years. The instruction was good, but we ended up leaving because the environment felt toxic. The feeling we got from the women who worked there, as well as some of the other patrons, was of a sort of sorority atmosphere. If you don’t fit into the sorority, it’s a rough place to be. There were several instances where my wife felt like she was being judged by the employees and in some cases, by the other customers who were “in” with the instructors. The atmosphere didn’t feel welcoming and we would not recommend this place for Pilates instruction. There are better studios to choose from where it doesn’t feel like a popularity contest.

I have worked with Di in both private and class instruction for over 5 years and recently joined this studio since she was teaching there. She is an excellent teacher that is endlessly positive and encouraging, while providing detailed instruction that has allowed me to improve and refine my pilates skills over the years. She always tailors to what my needs are and how I best learn, adapting her cues to ensure my understanding. I love working with Di and find the intimate environment at Bolder Pilates conducive for getting great instruction

This wonderful studio has been my salvation during our long year of lock downs both in the zoom classes initially and the in-studio classes the past few months. I feel totally safe not only regarding the covid protocols, but in the instruction as well. The dedicated teachers are simply the best I've had over the course of my doing pilates for the past several years in a variety of studios. If you're considering pilates for the first time or getting back into it, this is your studio!

Bolder Pilates is amazing!!! All of the instructors are knowledgeable and committed to serving their clients in the highest. I do classes and privates, and find it helps increase my strength, flexibility, and helps prevent injuries.
Bolder pilates played a huge role in helping me heal from chronic back pain (after 7 years!) and a broken leg. I've been going to this studio for 2 or 3 years and can't imagine ever going anywhere else. Truly the BEST pilates around.

Every class I take leaves me feeling like I am doing right by my body in life-changing ways. I join by zoom and feel 100% safe, connected, guided and fully taken care of. Donna is a gifted teacher and knows how to keep it fun while providing just the right amount of challenge. I practice yoga and have come to find that this really serves a different purpose for me. The core work has made a world of difference....relieving all sorts of neck, back and shoulder pain which has such an impact on daily mood! Thank you Donna and the amazing Bolder Pilates team!

I have been going to Bolder Pilates for over 12 years. Donna and company are second to none! After only doing in-person instruction, I was skeptical about trying sessions in a virtual format during the COVID 19 pandemic. Boy was I wrong! The virtual classes are in some ways better than in-person. I feel like Donna is talking directly to me during the Zoom sessions. She is able to modify for us as needed even over Zoom. Some of the most challenging classes I've taken have been via Zoom. Even virutally, Donna is able to balance challenge and support which has always been one of my favriote things about Donna. I am looking forward to returng to in-person sessions but I have not missed a beat by participating in the virtual classes. Simply the best!

Every class blows my mind every time!. Its such a good deep work out but literally recovers my body at the same time from the extreme HIT work outs I’ve been doing and running. My knees were killing me before the class and now they feel so much better. Mind you I am taking the class via zoom from hundreds of miles away and can still feel the full effect from the class with amazing instruction by Donna! Thank you so much!

Seriously. This place is the best of the best-top of the heap- all Aces, and they have tons of great classes- even on Weekends and Evenings. Bolder Pilates has been a game changer for my body (and my mental health). And free lattes and other sweet perks. Every instructor is a seasoned pro. And my favorite part (since I have zero Virgo in my Astro chart) they don’t throw shade when I show up late. I mean that’s not my favorite part. But you know what I mean. Sign up for their great newsletter to learn about their promotions on packages and clothing. ALO, can I get witness?!

A highlight of my sister’s bachelorette weekend was the custom mat+reformer Pilates party at Bolder Pilates. Donna is a wonderful instructor and host! She carefully planned the details of the class to be challenging and fun for the four participants that were new to Pilates and she included special touches to incorporate our celebration. Donna’s enthusiasm for Pilates is infectious and we have four Pilates converts!

I absolutely LOVE Boulder Pilates! I started going there when I was 34 weeks pregnant and have been going ever since! They were so great at modifying both for my pregnancy and for physical limitations. Ever time I went I felt like I got an amazing workout, and all the instructors were so incredibly welcoming and encouraging. After having a baby I was nervous about getting my strength back. However, the team at Bolder Pilates helped me build back by core and I am happy to report that I have never felt stronger! They really are the best. Would highly recommend!

I started at Bolder Pilates in September of 2018. I was nervous about doing private sessions and about the reformer - but everyone at the studio was so friendly and knowledgeable that it was a breeze to get started. I have been to a combination of private sessions and group classes and have loved both. I hadn't been active on a regular basis since I had two kids and Bolder Pilates has helped me feel more like myself again.

I have been active my entire adult life. I’ve also suffered a lot of injuries, which created dysfunctional patterns in my body… and pain. Boulder Pilates has helped me re-integrate my body in a way I wasn’t sure was possible. Pilates allows me to continue to do the activities that bring me so much joy, like telemark and skate skiing, cycling, and trail running. I do Pilates so I can thrive in all the other aspects of my life, whether it’s exercise or just getting through the work day without carrying strain patterns. I love every one of the instructors at Boulder Pilates. They are all so skilled and make Pilates fun! I feel more balance and connected at 46 years old than I ever have, thanks to Donna, Lexy, Emily, and Dani. You guys are just the best! The studio is a bright, happy, and cohesive environment. Thanks for creating so much positive change in my body and life!

After a wrist injury in yoga, I was gutted to have to take a break from my yoga practice. However since finding Bolder pilates I realized how much more I needed help with my spinal alignment and overall posture. I have been practicing now with the AMAZING crew at Bolder pilates for 4 months and will continue to do so. I also noticed how much pilates got me in shape before my wedding. For any future brides needing support in getting into your body, in healing an injury or just wanting to compliment your running/cycling practice this is the most knowledgable fun Pilates crew I've found!

I've been doing private sessions with both Emily and Dani for the past few months.

I started at Bolder Pilates as a total newbie to pilates. To be honest, I was not quite convinced that I could actually do challenging exercises with a bad back. Emily S. took me under her wing and has been my biggest cheerleader as I progress through this journey of healing. Over the last few months I have felt measurable improvements in my mobility and flexibility and I owe it all to Emily. She is able to tailor exercises to my specific needs and is very conscientious about making sure that each move is challenging but not stressful on my back. Her never ending patience and encouragement keep me going even when I feel like I'm making a fool of myself.

I would highly recommend this business for those who have considered trying pilates but were too intimidated or too afraid to walk into a yoga studio with no prior experience. Emily and the other instructors have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and supported.

The ladies at Bolder Pilates are not only amazing instructors they are also just amazing people. I came in with fairly severe sciatica and a couple of injured joints and Donna and Lexy did an amazing job figuring out what I could work on to strengthen my stabilizing muscles and fix my issues. In May when I started I couldn't walk more than half a mile, much less run or hike. Now, in September, I just climbed Longs Peak and ran a 5k with NO pain. I can't say enough good things about this place! On top of everything else I also look way fitter now than I ever have. If you are looking to live a more pain free life or just want to become as fit as your body allows, go to Bolder Pilates!

I've been working with Lexy for about 4 months now with incredible results. Like most Boulder, 30-somethings, I've been in and out of physical therapy, orthopods, and private/group gym training and classes as the result of a active lifestyle. Most of those focus on pain management, not long term corrective exercises and strengthening. I've never had such focused and isolated muscle strengthening like I've gotten and Bolder Pilates. The ability to not workout from a script but rather build a session based on how I'm feeling that moment and adjusting in real-time when posture, pain or kinematics dictates is incredible and effective. I've never done anything that has been so beneficial to my skiing and cycling. Looking at results, there really isn't a bigger bang for the buck in town. Additionally, it's served as a great way to combat the negative effects of a office/desk day job.

Donna goes above and beyond with her clients and tailors every session with precision to the specific needs of the client; she gives safe and effective cues and modifies exercises when necessary. Donna is always my first choice in recommending Pilates sessions to any of my patients, and I hear nothing but praise in return.

My body takes a major beating! I finally booked sessions with Donna, and am so glad that I did. She is not only a wonderful, bright-shining, authentic woman, but a very knowledgable and encouraging professional who knows how to create an exceptional work out experience. Her space is beautiful, clean and inviting, and EXACTLY where I want to spend the minute amount of time that I carve out for myself. She is so attentive to every detail, making my experience personal and educational. She makes sure I get the most out of my time and do the movements properly to receive the ultimate benefit. I am more mindful in my daily routine now because of how thoroughly she explains and educates through out her session. I always wake up the next morning feeling like id been to the chiropractor, yoga and had a massage. That's a whole lot of awesomeness to get out of one hour . It helps that Donna is hilarious and super fun to hang out with as well. Never had I looked forward to go work out until I found Bolder Pilates. She's truly the best!

Pilates with Donna Rosen is like having someone know exactly what's going on with you from the inside so you can be strong from your center out. She is absolutely attuned to her client's needs and I always learn something new whether it's alignment and positioning or just how to heal myself through the correct use of motion. I thank Donna for defining my wedding and beach bodies. Bolder Pilates is a secret gem right in downtown Boulder. They keep winning Best of Boulder awards so it sounds like the secret's out. I'd make a visit. Pronto. You'll feel and look better in no time!
