I Iove working with Vicki( owner). She offers group classes and individual instruction. I’ve done a variety of classes over the years. I am doing private classes at the moment. She is so encouraging and supportive. She structures your class according to individual needs. The instructors all seem to provide a calm and enjoyable atmosphere. Good location in Fort Myers. Plenty of parking and she has assigned parking for her customers.

Harassing and invasive. Followed me into a private appointment, took pictures of my car, and wouldn’t leave me alone all because I parked in an empty spot for less then five minutes. Completely unprofessional.

Do you want me to also make an even shorter one-liner style for star ratings where space is tight?

I love Denise in class! She enjoys teaching the symbolism of our movements As much as the exercise! I look forward to her class each week! I have asthma and can tolerate her low intensity class which still gives a nice workout, I am so grateful to be able to attend a class like this .

As a nineteen year old during the (ahem) ‘70s, I took kung fu lessons and even won 1st Place for kata, or “form,” at a competition. I was made aware of a martial art called Tai Chi Chuan and made a mental note.
Fast forward 50 years later, and as a Florida retiree, I decided to see if Tai Chi classes were offered in my area. I found Ellio Pilates, Tai Chi & More through this Google site.
Navigating Ellio's comprehensive website, I signed up in no time. I've been taking classes for several weeks now and I'm very impressed with Vicki's studio and her classes. In addition to Tai Chi, Vicki offers many other classes and sessions destined to give you better health at very reasonable prices.
Vicki is knowledgeable, caring, and holds your best interests in her heart. Come for the Tai Chi, but marvel at and take in all that Ellio Pilates, Tai Chi & More has to offer. A+++.

Vicki does a great beginners class. She goes through each movement slowly and clearly with much patience for folks who are new to Tai Chi.

We just finished the Miracle Ball session led by Jemetta Hunt. We enjoyed the class and instruction that will help with many of our aches and pains. The class consists of 2 soft softball sized balls and using them while lying on an exercise mat. The class is good for all types of abilities. We had both gone with separate muscle aches. We felt better after the class and we will now incorporate this into our daily routine after Tai Chi. Looking forward to less aches and pains.
My husband and I just finished our first Ellio Tai Chi class with Vicky. The studio is neat and clean and the class was small and intimate. Vicky provides excellent instruction. You work at your own pace and Vicky explains the reasons behind the movements. There is time to practice in studio and reinforcement of movements in an easy manner. We signed up for a package and we will be practicing at home in between studio classes. Looking forward to better fitness and balance.

Vicki was wonderful - a knowledgeable teacher - she has a way of knowing just what exercise you need and showing you how to do it. Whether it is Tai Chi you are looking for or private lessons, Vicki is the one I would recommend.

I have been attending group pilates and private sessions at Ellio Pilates, Tai Chi & More, for the past year. I started at Ellio after a severe ankle and foot injury. Working with Vicki has helped me tremendously. She has helped me to gain strength and increase my range of motion in a safe way. She is so knowledgeable about the human body and is able to modify the exercises for a variety of ability levels and to accommodate injuries. I am so thankful that I found Vicki and Ellio Pilates.

I started pilates classes at Elio several years ago and I’ve always been glad I did. Their exercise routines have improved my flexibility, posture and everyday ease of movement. Now that I’ve included the Buff Bones class with weights, I feel stronger. Vicki and Jemetta are professional pilates instructors, but they also bring modern techniques to their routines. Their classes are always encouraging and if you have a problem or question, they are ready to help. Elio is just a great place to stay fit!

I've been attending Tai Chi classes at Ellio since 2018. It has been a great experience. Every class you learn something new and expand on your abilities. Tai Chi is excellent for your health and is something you can do for life. Vicki is an excellent teacher, and everyone in class is a pleasure to know. Highly recommend!

My teen daughter and I have been taking the tai chi class on Saturday mornings for the past 5 months. Jemetta and Vicki are a wealth of knowledge and very encouraging. We're stronger and have better balance now, and we both look forward to class every week.

I have been going to Ellio Pilates and more for almost a year. The staff is very professional and proficient in all they do. When I leave there I feel relaxed but also as if I accomplished something. I started with Foundation Training but it was too difficult for me. I have a number of health issues that make exercising difficult. I switched to Restorative Yoga and found my home! I tried Tai Chi because I wanted to go three days a week but gave that up as it proved to be too much for me to handle. If you're looking for a great place to work out with a friendly and helpful staff Ellio Pilates and More is worth a try to see if it works out as well for you as it did for me.

Being fairly new to the area and as a lifelong New Yorker not used to driving, I knew I needed to do something to get my groove back. I decided to try Ellio Pilates and was not disappointed. I walked into a soothing, Zen-like cottage that reminded me of Cape Cod and was greeted by Vicki who listened to all my concerns and got me started on some private Pilates lessons. Now as a gym rat for more years than I'd like to admit, I realized it was time to tailor my extra hard workouts to something a bit more healing and less impactful—and this is the place. I also started Tai Chi which I had done very briefly in the 80s and love how it now helps with balance and mindfulness. I also had the pleasure of working with Jemetta on foundation training and pilates. Both of these women are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fitness and I highly recommend them and the rest of the team at Ellio's.
