Personal Pilates workouts with Sophia are outstanding and so much more effective than multi-participant classes. She is so knowledgeable of the body and traditional Pilates and she adapts the workouts to each students goals and needs. We are so fortunate to have such a great Pilates disciple right here in LWR.

Sofia it’s very knowledgeable and professional.
She makes sure you do each exercise properly and pushes you to do most you can handle.

I've always loved Pilates but when my daughter introduced me to Reformer Pilates I was hooked! I tried group classes at a couple of local studios and sort of enjoyed it but was afraid I wasn't getting enough instructor supervision to make sure my form was good. I sure didn't want to hurt myself while making the effort to improve my physical well being. A friend suggested I try personal Pilates training with Bek Szymanski at The Pilates Place. So glad I did! The customizes individual sessions to your specific needs and monitors you the entire time. The hour the always just flies by! I'm a snowbird and have already booked my sessions with her on my return in the Fall! I can't wait!

I started working with Bek and my goodness I had no idea how many things I could work on! She constantly is putting my body in a better place and can tell when something needs fixing for me to have a healthier and stronger body. I’ve seen such quick changes in my body that through previous workouts I wasn’t able to achieve! Thank you Bek for making me feel and look so good!!

Absolutely love The Pilates Place. This small boutique studio is perfect for anyone and everyone. The instructors meet you where you're at and work with you in order to achieve your goals. I started with Bek, one of the instructors when I was 7 weeks postpartum and haven't stopped. In the year I've been going , I've seen results. Perfect for exercise, cross training, or as part of physical therapy.

As a small boutique studio, all your sessions are private with your instructor and with up to one other instructor and client in the room. Based upon availability and interest you could book a duet and bring a friend too.

Run, don't walk, to The Pilates Place

After rehabbing from Rotator Cuff Surgery, I decided to start Pilates to regain strength and improve flexibility. After five months under the guidance of Bek, the results have been amazing. My posture and flexibility has improved and I can now easily get onto and off the floor to play with my Granddaughter. Bek is wonderful. She is knowledgeable, patient, a clear communicator, challenges me and provides plenty of encouragement. If you are looking for a private Pilates studio and a wonderful instructor, I highly recommend Bek at The Pilates Place at Lakewood Ranch.

I started Pilates one year ago with Bek. After 1 session, I knew Pilates and her clients were her passion. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, professional and supportive. She has a keen focus on mind/body connection as well as form and proper breathing techniques. She develops a plan for each individual client catering to their specific wants and needs. Bek is top notch and the studio at Lakewood Ranch is quiet and very welcoming. I highly recommended her and The Pilates Place at LWR.

Where do I even begin? When I first inquired about 1:1 Pilates sessions, I was fresh from ACL reconstructive surgery (hamstring tendon repair). I had recently gotten an MUA (Manipulation Under Anesthesia) procedure. So, as you can imagine, I was nervous, but with the encouragement of my orthopedic surgeon, I filled out the online form (a couple months later) and received a text from Sofia (one of the instructors) within hours.

She is highly knowledgeable about the human body, and we connected as dancers on how to best modify the exercises for my body in the beginning. She is so caring and thinks of every detail in our sessions. We have gone over proper communication between mind and body, stretches I can do daily, strengthening focus on core and hamstrings, and adding some fun movements with the Pilates apparatus. She also is helping me undo some of the not-so-good-for-you teachings from dance that I have stuck with since I was a kid and trying to correct the form from those habits.

Sofia has helped me understand how my recovery can be managed, and I am so grateful for her guidance. She has created a safe environment that allows me to become aware of my body's abilities and bestowed confidence in me to approach the sequences gracefully. Every session with Sofia brings awareness to something new in my body that I can honor as we work together through this healing process.

I'm sorry for those on the waitlist because Sofia is one of the best instructors I've ever encountered. With her background in dance paired with Pilates, she brings a sense of artistry to her teaching that allows for imaginative movements. In addition, her energy is contagious, which has motivated me to stay consistent with my practice.

She has tailored exercises specifically for me, including postural and alignment drills and stretching, strengthening, and balance exercises. By performing the recommended stretches daily, I have seen significant improvements in my balance, strength, flexibility, and general well-being.

I'm grateful for the healing journey that I have been able to take with Sofia's guidance. She has helped me become more mindful of my body and its needs, and I am thankful to continue working with her in every challenging but gratifying session. Pilates is definitely a lifestyle that I refuse to give up.

After having done personal Pilates sessions for 14 years prior to moving to FL, I began searching for a similar experience here; I hoped to find a small, personal studio with an instructor trained in classical Pilates. I am thrilled to have found exactly what I was looking for! The studio is clean, bright, and inviting, and Sofia is a wonderful instructor! She is well-trained, pays great attention to detail re: proper form, and is able to modify exercises based on my physical issues. She has an endearing personality and I feel very comfortable working with her. I love what Pilates has done for my strength, flexibility, and balance, and I highly recommend The Pilates Place at Lakewood Ranch!

Sofia is hands on making sure I’m using the correct muscles and in proper alignment. Since I’ve been going, I’m stronger, fluid and NOTHING HURTS! I’m actually feeling younger than I have in years.

Love the Pilates Place and the environment it provides. Very calming and great for those who would love a more intimate setting. I’m working out with Bek one on one and couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend this place to anyone from beginner to novice for a great workout!
