As a first time Pilates goer, this was the most incredible place to start my journey. Their introduction class was beyond welcoming and supportive and the multi-level class was an amazing second step

Seventeen years ago I took my first Pilates class with Erika and knew I wanted to continue. It was a small group of five and three of us are still together in her classes,

You will love Healthy Changes Pilates; the small classes, knowledgeable instructors, individual attention, and welcoming
atmosphere.

In January I will be 84 and am so thankful to Erika and her excellent team for helping me to keep my core strong and my body flexible.

I have been going to Healthy Changes Pilates for about a year and a half now. I also spend time in Florida and I recently found a Pilates studio to go to near my place there. I went for some private sessions there and the Pilates instructor told me that she could tell that I had been really well trained in Pilates. I would like to give a shout out to Erika and her team, and Lynne in particular, as she has done an awesome job of getting me to where I am. The transition my body and mind have experienced since joining has been nothing short of amazing!

I have been coming to Healthy Changes for 10 years and keep coming back YOY. Each class is different working muscles I never knew I had. The teachers are all excellent and because of the small class size, you get personalized attention. I love this place. Thank you Erica for creating this wonderful community.

Fantastic. I have been coming for 10+ years. Classes are interesting and varied. Instructors are able to modify to meet your individual needs. Accommodating for all levels of practice. Pilates is a wonderful addition to other sports—golf, tennis, weights and spinning. No comparison to the franchise studios. If you’re interested in Pilates, this is the place for you.

Healthy Changes Pilates in Reading is a gem. I've had different Pilates classes throughout the years but once I started at Healthy Changes I looked no further. I have been with Erika and her staff for the past 7yrs. Whether taking a reformer, tower or chair class, the knowledge and instruction of the teachers is outstanding. Small class sizes facilitate greater individualized attention, offering benefits to both physical and mental well-being. At Healthy Changes you always feel welcome.

I love my classes at Healthy Changes Pilates! It’s a small, friendly studio with well-trained instructors who are wonderful teachers. I’ve recovered from two joint replacement surgeries with their help and guidance. I feel stronger and more balanced now than at any point in my life.

I started Pilates to get back into movement following a shoulder injury. 10 months later I am completely hooked and absolutely love this studio and the instructors. It’s a classical Pilates studio with focus on breathing and proper movement. Small classes allow the instructors to give hands on correction and support, and help you modify the exercises to meet you where you are. The instructors are truly top notch, highly educated and also so kind. Highly recommend this studio whether you’re just starting in Pilates or a seasoned practitioner looking to reground in classical principles.

What I love most about Healthy Changes is the quality of instruction. The classes are small, which allows for plenty of personal attention and feedback. The instructors have a deep understanding of body mechanics and are great at offering modifications or making exercises more challenging to accommodate everyone's needs and fitness levels. I always feel challenged but safe, and leave each session feeling stronger. My sore back has improved since I began attending classes at Healthy Changes. If you want to be challenged and feel better, Healthy Changes Pilates is a great start.

Healthy Changes Pilates has been a game changer for me. I started 2 years ago and was instantly addicted. As a woman in my 40s these classes have helped with my both my strength and flexibility. It is also been an excellent way to de-stress! The owner, Erika, is extremely knowledgeable and her instructors are fantastic. I especially love my classes with Lisa. Highly recommend.

Healthy Changes Pilates has been a wonderful experience for me. I’m recovering from a broken ankle, out of shape and completely new to Pilates, so I was nervous walking in for the first time. But the team made me feel comfortable, supported, and safe right from the start. They meet you exactly where you are and guide you with patience and encouragement. I never felt judged—only welcomed.

The instructors explain everything clearly and help you adjust movements to your ability, which gave me the confidence to keep going. I already feel stronger and more flexible.

If you’ve been hesitant to try Pilates, especially if you’re older or not in perfect shape, Healthy Changes Pilates is the perfect place to begin. Highly recommended!

Admittedly, I am a Pilates newbie, but Healthy Changes has far surpassed my expectations.

They offer a good variety of classes and times, such that it is generally not a problem finding a suitable class for my busy schedule.

The teachers are attentive, helpful, and supportive, and the other clients are also fun and supportive.

Lastly, while traveling recently I was able to take a one-off class at another studio, and it was a complete letdown by comparison.

Having been a client at healthy changes for the last 17 years I can honestly say without doing Pilates I would not be able to do a lot of things. I am stronger and feel better and stand up straighter by doing Pilates. The classes are tailored to the clients and always varied. The instructors are knowledgeable and always helpful. Highly recommend everyone should take Pilates.

The supportive and welcoming other members of the classes have been instrumental in helping me, a complete novice, learn and make progress.

I have been taking group classes at Healthy Changes Pilates for 5 years and during the pandemic started woking with Erika individually. Working with her has been truly a wonderful experience. She brings incredible knowledge, competence and depth of experience to each session, which I am greatly appreciative of. She is quick to assess strengths and weaknesses and works with the areas that are in need of strengthening while continuing to strengthen the entire core. I tell her she is a miracle worker as she knows how to work around an injury and has me feeling better at the end of a session. Through working with her I have come to better understand how my body muscles function, have gained strength and flexibility, and I feel and look fit!

I am so glad to have the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend Erika and Healthy Changes Pilates to any pilates enthusiast!

First off - this is the 1st review I have EVER posted for any service ever! And, I'm excited to leave one for such a deserving and OUTSTANDING group of people and service!! Starting with Erika as the owner and head instructor! Her knowledge and passion for wanting to help people is second to none. She makes you feel welcomed, comfortable and truly helps you to fall in love with the discipline by creating such a warm atmosphere. I even love everything about the studio (peaceful, cheerful, clean, the best equipment and all around lovely!) Also, I love the music she plays...it's so relaxing but at the same time you get an incredible workout - just like the other reviews gave testament to! Even myself...I was unable to attend class for a little over a week due to family commitments and my right ankle started to click again as it did prior to joining pilates in June! Pilates, especially at Healthy Changes Pilates, is so enjoyable I think it was easy for me to loose sight of the fact that it was really helping me because I was enjoying myself so much! Unlike other forms of exercise, I never dread the idea of leaving the house to "go exercise". It never feels like a chore nor as if I have a grueling 50 minutes ahead of me. Rather, it is always so enjoyable - to the point that I may have lost track of just how much it was helping me...until I was away for a week. All-in-all, you couldn't ask for better. Whether you have never tried pilates or you're at the instructor level, you will not be disappointed in attending a class at Healthy Changes. Oh, one more thing :) Each instructor has their own style so not only is each class different (which I love the variety because you never really know what you're going to do during class - meaning which sequence of exercises you are going to do) but each instructor has their own "style", so it's even fun to attend different classes with different instructors. I'm telling you - you can't go wrong! I *HIGHLY* recommend taking a class! Thank you Erika and team! Love you guys and am so grateful to you...for your knowledge, patience, sense of humor and passion!

I've been practicing and training at Healthy Changes in Reading for one year. The studio environment is welcoming, professional, and well organised. As a mentor, manager and owner - Erika is fantastic. She has provided thoughtful guidance throughout my BASI training and created a structured program to dive deep into the repertoire. Training with BASI has been an insightful and empowering program to build my pilates career. I'm thrilled to continue to grow with BASI and apply my knowledge to clients (and myself).

I started attending classes at Healthy Changes Pilates in January and love going! Each class I attend is different and a great workout. My favorite class is multi level Chair with Lisa on Friday's at 8:00 a.m. She makes us come out of our comfort zone even if we are nervous about it! I try to make it to pilates at least twice a week and have learned something new each time.. Looking forward to many more classes in 2017!

Having taken Pilates in San Francisco and Honolulu, I never thought I would find the best Pilates instructor in the suburbs of Boston while on a trip! I’ve been taking Pilates for the past 7 months after my physical therapist suggested it to strengthen my core to relieve lower back pain caused by years of sitting at a desk with bad posture. It was difficult finding an instructor teaching a session that is both challenging and emphasized proper form. I was either powering through a challenging Pilates session while performing the exercises with horrendous form, or performing with good form on unchallenging exercises. Enter Erika from Healthy Changes Pilates. She is by far the best Pilates teacher I have worked with. She has been helping me build a strong Pilates foundation - from thoracic breathing, to spine articulation, to the principle of opposition, to pelvis tilt, to ribcage placement, and so on. With this approach the simplest exercises have become so challenging and it is very rewarding to know that I am performing these exercises with proper form. Erika has also been helping me correct my posture and body alignment. I never thought something as simply as knowing how to stand and sit with proper posture could make such a huge difference in how my body feels! People of Reading, you are so lucky to have her in your town and able to work with her all year long! I wish I could!

I have been going to Healthy Changes Pilates since Feb 2012. Initially I went to help build my core after a C-Section. Can not tell how much of a difference it made. I continued to work with the instructors through my second pregnancy and postpartum. Pilates truly made my recovery and ability to bounce back so much easier.

Erika and her team of instructors really work with each client. Even though you are in a class of 2-6 (depending on the class/day), you get individual attention each time. I love to switch the apparatus each time for a different approach (reformer, tower and chair)... Erika and her team (Lisa, Lea, Elaine and Karen) are wonderful! The clientele are so welcoming and Erika's new studio is so nice. Can't say enough except... give it a try!

After having two back surgeries in ten years, I became afraid to exercise. Throughout it all, the doctors and physical therapists, stressed the importance of strengthening my core. I honestly was just too afraid of making the pain I still had worse. Then I discovered Healthy Changes, it was exactly what I needed to put my fears at ease. I could get individually attention, because of the small class size, and instructors that understand the body and who at all times put safety first. I have been taking classes for over a year now. The changes have been life changing. I am much stronger and do not have daily pain anymore, I have also lost the numbness in my leg and foot. I feel mentally better and look forward to my classes to see Lisa and the other ladies in our group!
