This was my first Pilates class and it was a wonderful experience! Michelle was super energetic and a wonderful instructor. She walked me through how to use everything and was super patient when I would mess something up or as a question. Highly recommend!

I’ve been taking classes at this Pilates studio for 2.5 years and it’s truly been a game-changer. The studio itself is clean, well-equipped, and has a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable. The instructors are knowledgeable patient and incredibly motivating.

Each class feels thoughtfully structured — challenging enough to build strength and flexibility, but adaptable for all levels. I’ve noticed significant improvements in my posture, core strength, and overall body awareness since joining.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced with Pilates, this studio offers a supportive and motivating environment that helps you reach your goals. Highly recommended!

Michelles class was fun, energizing, and empowering! It was my first class and I was not sure what to expect. Beginner friendly but just as challenging as I needed it to be and Michelle provided support every step of the way. I was warned I might get addicted and after day 1, I definitely see why!

I have taken two classes with Lauren and it was a wonderful experience! Lauren was an amazing teacher and she did a great job of explaining specific movements and techniques, since I had never done reformer pilates before. I look forward to returning soon!

I had never done Pilates before until coming Power A! As a beginner I never felt any judgement, only a wonderful learning and encouraging environment. I live out of town but it’s one of my new favorite things to do when I come back to visit and schedule a class with my sister! Such a great way to start the day and so fun ❤️

I attended Alex’s classes and it was incredible. I am not usually a workout person, but her class was a workout I truly enjoyed. Unfortunately, due to poor management and bullying, I have to be honest and review the studio as a whole one star. The owner has bad vibes.

I am currently visiting relatives in Illinois and took my first ever Pilates class at Power. A Pilates Studio and had the best experience. Carrie really took the time to show me the moves and correct form. I am hooked and will definitely be trying this again!

The Pilates studio itself is nice, reformers are good - but the amount of drama I’ve witnessed from the owner and other instructors is baffling, petty, and down right ridiculous. Not the best joint to support! I used to love it because Alex was one of the BEST instructors but for unknown reasons is no longer there so now myself and a 100+ others will be supporting her on her own. Good luck! EDIT: I got an email from her right after I posted my review. A smidge threatening regarding a business I own, and the business I work for? 🤔

Have been taking Pilates classes with Carrie for about 3 years, she is terrific and knows her stuff.
All the trainers are attentive and energetic.
Don’t know if Pilates is for you, schedule a private session to check it out.
Great studio , great people.

I love taking classes here when I am in town, they have such a wonderful atmosphere and great instructors. Carrie takes the time to get to know each of her students and what their strengths and weaknesses are, she’s amazing! Chatham is so lucky to have a studio like this one.

CLEAN!
I live on the north end of Springfield and frequently make the 45 minute drive to Chatham to take morning classes before work. The bathroom is always clean and stocked appropriately. (There is also a shower that I appreciate having access to if needed.) New equipment that is cleaned after classes. If I ever have any questions the staff is always good at addressing my concerns.

Power A Pilates Studio is the best! My first ever class was with Carrie nearly two years ago, and since then she and every member of her team have always been welcoming and attentive. No matter how full the class, each participant receives personal attention and modifications as necessary- beginners to advanced alike. The studio is always clean and inviting, the prices are very reasonable, instructors are friendly and engaging. ❤️

I’ll start with I truly wish Google would allow 0 stars to be a rating cause that’s what this place would get. I never taken a class here but I have watched many classes here in person and knew the positive impact Alex had on everyone that showed up to her class. She was beyond dedicated to her team and clients and it’s sad to see ownership create such toxicity over their employees success. As an owner/ leader you think you would want all your employees to bring what Alex brought to the table for every class but that’s not what happened. It’s sad to see women not supporting women and taking jealousy to the next level. Alex influenced so many people that went to her classes and made everyone comfortable no matter their skill set. I would never spend money on a class here even if it was the only place to work out in the entire town. I would never want to support a business that doesn’t support their employees and doesn’t appreciate the value that great employees like Alex brings. Just know if you decide to come here for Pilates please know that Carrie the owner doesn’t care about you as a person and only looks at you as a transaction and that is messed up. There are other places that will value your time, make you reach your goals, and treat all their employees with respect so I would advise to spend your money there and not here.

Power A is one of the best parts of my day. I love the instructors! They are ALL so welcoming. Pilates has become a regular part of my workout routine. I feel like my core is stronger and I’m working muscles I don’t get to at the gym. Thank you for such a great place to unwind after a long day of work!

I've been going to Carrie's Pilates classes for 2 years and she's phenomenal!! She's very helpful for anyone new to Pilates and she's always willing to modify movements for anyone's skill level. If you've never tried Pilates before, you HAVE to come and check out her classes. Carrie is amazing both personally and professionally!!

I like how this studio lets you pay as you go. It takes away the pressure and stress of other work out facilities and gyms, and allows for a flexible schedule. They offer many classes with a variety of time slots. I’ve always been treated fairly and get good attention from the instructors. They make sure every detail is right to prevent injury and to make sure I make the most out of my workout time. I would recommend this workout studio to anyone.

POWER A Pilates is always a welcoming and safe environment. I've taken many classes with all their instructors and each time is an empowering experience! Their patience and focus for each person's individual health and wellness journey is superb. Recently postpartum, this place gives me a physical and mental reset each time I come. It is the highlight of my week. I recommend 1000% to anyone, anytime!

I would not be in the physical shape that I am in today after two hip replacements to do my job and all the outdoor activities that I love if it weren't for Carrie and Power A Pilates Studio. She has provided support for Special Olympics as a small local business and we are lucky to have her in Chatham.

Local, small business that has only grown in the 2 years in operation. Love the facility, it’s always clean and welcoming and the owners are always happy and cheerful. I always have a great time and leave class feeling like I got my money’s worth. Love it.

I’ve done studio classes with Carrie both at this studio and before. Carrie is a trained professional that has many many years of experience in health clubs and Pilates,. I think she does a great job considering the level of exercise a client can reasonably complete, but also pushes her clients to get the best results possible.

I have a great deal of respect for her as a person and would highly recommend anyone thinking about joining a Pilates studio to strongly consider Power A Pilates Studio…..

I'm not a person who normally takes any kind of gym classes, and was not sure what pilates even was when I started with Carrie over 2 years ago. Now I don't know where I'd be without Carrie and Power A Pilates Studio. She is a great instructor, who makes our hour workout fun and fly by fast. My strength and balance continues to improve thanks to Carrie taking the time necessary to work with whatever individual issues I may need. Definitely an asset to this community.

This studio is the best and has the best instructors! They offer a variety of exercises and know what they are doing and help you through anything you’re struggling with and show you how to do it.
They offer a reasonable price that includes a full and complete head to toe workout that will give you strength and flexibility and empowerment to feel confident and be stronger!

I’ve gotten to classes with Lauren for about 3 months. As a beginner in the Pilates world it was so vulnerable for me to join a class. This studio made me feel nothing but welcome. Lauren goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure you feel comfortable and will jump right on in with you!

My wife drug me here for her birthday and I got to say it's a very well run organization, and the workouts were challenging and different than what I'm used to! Definitely would recommend this place to anyone! Best prices in town!

Really not liking the vibes. Vibes mean a lot. If you don't like not feeling bad unsafe vibes don't go here. Right, Carrie? Vibes.

I loved coming to Power for Pilates classes, I frequently booked classes with Alex who was a fantastic instructor with fun, upbeat classes. After seeing how this company fired her, a well loved instructor, for no apparent reason, I sadly do not want to return and give my money to a business who is okay running things in such an unprofessional manner. Such a shame because this place had potential, time to find a new place to workout.
