My twice a week private pilates sessions with Eden over the past 3 years have been a game changer for my mobility. I came to Eden as part of my recovery from back issues stemming from scoliosis. She truly is a mechanic; she is deeply knowledgeable about the musculoskeletal system. She is highly skilled at cuing poses for correct alignment and making my sessions fun.

I love practicing Pilates with Eden! She's so knowledgeable about the human body and wants the best for her clients. Her outdoor studio is amazing after a long day at work or to kick off the weekend!

My sessions with Eden have enabled me to practice Pilates safely and effectively. I leave each session feeling better than when I entered. Eden is a true master of physiology, I highly recommend her classes.

Working with Eden has been a big help in managing old sports injuries and strengthening my core and balanceβ€”big concerns for someone with MS. She has a keen diagnostic eye and is creative about her fixes for what ails me. I look forward to every session with her!

I have enjoyed my pilates classes with Eden Ellis. I love the intimate setting outdoors. She is very particular about form and is able to give personal attention in a small group setting.

Eden is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. I am been working with her for 2 years and have gotten so much stronger. I have several physical challenges and she truly understands how to help while also protecting from injury. I leave each session energized. And she is upbeat and encouraging. I can't recommend her enough!

I first met Eden about 10 years ago when I started my pilates journey, and she was an instructor at a local studio. From day one, she was my favorite instructor because of her wealth of pilates experience, her knowledge of the muscular and skeletal structures of the body, her strong communication skills, and because she's so fun to be with! Now that Eden has her own business, I contacted her to organize a private "Pilates Retreat" to introduce three family members to the joys of pilates. Eden provided a perfect introduction to pilates, and the girls LOVED it! Knowing Eden, I had no doubt that our time with her would be a big success, and my exceptions were actually exceeded! From beginner to advanced pilates skills, or whether you need help recovering from an injury, call Eden. She's the best mechanic in town!

My internist recommended Eden to help with some weaknesses in the lower back/peivic area. Eden understands and can clearly explain anatomy and body mechanics. She observes my particular muscle imbalances and designs the combination of Pilates exercises and her verbal cues to reduce those imbalances. She is also helping me restructure my walking and running, improve my body awareness and alignment. She is patient, always warm and positive and a real and steady partner in my progress. It is clear she cares and wants each of her students to feel better.

Eden is truly a Pilates Master Teacher. She understands everything about anatomy and tailors private sessions to your individual needs. She is incredibly inspiring, and I have made great progress with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the best Pilates instructor around.

Eden has been great helping me stay fit while rehabbing a frozen shoulder and various neck/ shoulder issues. The work I do with Eden compliments my PT sessions. She keeps my movements in check so I’m not undoing the progress I’m making with my shoulders. If you are wondering if you should try her, the answer is yes, you should!

I came upon Eden and Pilates Mechanic by chance, and I was lucky. I have an autoimmune condition that has crippled me, and had been in intensive physical therapy for a year, and had hit a plateau in recovering from my damaged body. After one or two sessions with Eden, I started to see that I could get better, and more quickly than what I'd been doing. She not only coaches Pilates, she's inspiring and motivating! I've been to 5 sessions so far, and am elated with my progress. I highly recommend Eden and Pilates Mechanic!

I’ve known and worked with Eden for several years. Most recently over the last 6 months she has helped me to recover from a multi-fractured humorous (shoulder). She has been in perfect sync with my PT and helped me rehab and add flexibility. In fact, my PT is recommending Eden to her patients. Aside from the great body work / Eden is very positive but in a calm way that gets me centered and looking forward to the next session. I can really see and feel a difference in my body- especially my posture. Thank you Eden!!

Eden is a conscientious and experienced instructor. While a lot of men steer clear of Pilates, Eden recognizes that routines can be modified to meet wherever you are in terms of physical conditioning and flexibility. Recognizing that men may have limitations on certain types of motion, Eden modifies her class to accommodate. She focuses on performing exercises correctly and has greatly increased my core strength.

Eden has been instrumental in helping me get back to pilates following a total hip replacement. I appreciate her taking the time to teach me about what to focus on to further my recovery. In addition, her sunny personality makes sessions fun! I would highly recommend Eden for anyone looking to get back into fitness following an injury or surgery.

Eden is the best. I am sure that I am moving as well as I am because of her. Her corrections are spot on and her attention to detail concerning every movement helps me get the full benefit of the session. Thank you so much !

I started seeing Eden with some trepidation, as I have injuries and had gotten woefully out of shape during the pandemic. I was nervous about exercising again and building back strength. Eden has been the perfect coach to encourage and push me and make me feel good about my progress. I am getting stronger every week and feeling renewed excitement about taking care of my body. Having never done Pilates Reformer before starting sessions with Eden, I now feel confident enough to start going to some classes at a studio. I will keep seeing Eden, though, to get her wisdom and careful attention to form and movement. She is THE BEST!!!

Eden is the best. She pays more attention to form and technique than any instructor I’ve ever had. As much of a delight as it is to be in a group lesson, nothing beats the private sessions that are available at the Pilates Mechanic. Having the one on one custom instruction and corrections is a gift β€” and lessons that can be taken to the next group lesson (if you can stand to go back to a group) β€” as well as a unique opportunity to identify and work on personal imbalances, weaknesses, and issues. You owe it to yourself to visit.

I’m a new Pilates convert, thanks to Eden. With only a couple sessions under my belt, I’ve been given tools and knowledge to manage daily activities and already feel improvement all around.

I have been training with Eden for the past six months and it's truly been a life changing experience. Eden is exceptionally knowledgeable about anatomy, kinesiology and how the human body works in the most efficient way. I train with her two to three times a week and absolutely love it. Every session is unique and tailored to what my body needs that day. Eden is a joy to work with too, her upbeat personality and passion for teaching makes for a wonder experience. I always leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I would highly recommend!

After three years of studio classes with Eden and other instructors, I wanted to focus on specific strength training on the Reformer. I cannot believe I waited this long to train one on one with Eden - she is extraordinary. I am amazed at the difference in my ability after several weeks. Now Pilates makes more sense and I enjoy classes in ways I never did before. Eden will work on whatever goals/issues a client has, and has an interest in Pilates and physical therapy - something I have not been lucky enough to find before in a trainer. Run, don't walk, to her!
