Great classical Pilates studio! Erin’s classes have improved my technique and lower back issues with her thoughtful and knowledgeable teaching style.
I also really like all of Max’s classes—especially his MELT/Pilates classes. Look forward to new PCF Kirkwood studio :-)

It generally takes me a good 20 min to drive to the studio (after only about 10 min) but it is worth every extra mile! I’ve been working w/ Erin such she was just a pup. Her enthusiasm and desire to continue her education to better my experience, health and wellness shows her level of love for her occupation and for me! I’ve seen the other trainers in there as well who also have that ethic so I don’t know if you could go wrong working w/ any of the other trainers. I just have a great history and working relationship w/ Erin so yes…she’s my favorite!

As a senior in my 8th decade of life, Ive been going to the DesPeres studio for almost 5 years. I can't imagine voluntarily walking away. Kudos to Heather for being so "present" for the fitness needs of the west county area for so many years and in a variety of ways. Thank you! For group classes, I believe Erin to be as kind and communicative as anyone could possibly expect. For individual attention, Kat is not afraid to identify and challenge your weaknesses and push you to the next level of performance- sometimes, she gets a bigger "charge" out of your improvement than you do! Pilates is NOT for those who want a quick and easy program. There IS a difference in doing it and doing it right.

Incredibly supportive environment for all stages of life and journeys toward wellness. Erin Nuelle effectively builds confidence, precision with alignment/movements to ensure safety and progress. In addition she is delightfully funny and establishes positive rapport from the onset.

I landed at Pilates and custom Fitness in a loopy way after being disappointed with the instruction and commitment to clients at other studios. It was so exciting to find a place with instructors who really care about client bodies and individual health journeys--past, present and future! Each is so knowledgeable and committed to learning about and seeking solutions to get and keep us moving freely and pain-free. The queen, Heather, has built an inclusive studio where you see women and men of all ages and levels of fitness getting the challenge they need every day. I enjoy Erin's classes for her awesome instruction in, but not limited to, classical Pilates flows, as she is a master at sneaking in higher level exercises when our bodies are ready for them! Lisa takes pleasure in challenging every person and getting us to levels we didn't know were possible. Max has a true gift for mixing classical and contemporary Pilates that often makes me remember his workouts (and curse his name) the next day! Every instructor is excellent and knowledgeable, and I am so happy that my Pilates journey led me to Pilates and Custom Fitness. I am here to stay! See you in class!

I started at the studio a couple of months ago having taken far too long of a hiatus from working out. I was anxious, but everyone there is very welcoming, takes the time to teach you what you don't know, and doesn't make you feel out of place while doing it. I started in private sessions with Kat (who will keep you laughing while whipping you into shape) to learn the ropes and now take a mix of classes. Looking forward to the new Kirkwood studio opening! This studio and an airport are the only two places I'll willingly go before 7a.

I went for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved it! Truly one of the cleanest, nicest, friendliest, most comfortable places I’ve seen for a pilates studio.

She was great. Can’t wait to be back soon :)

Heather the owner is great Kat I currently use is great in classes and privates Jessica too. I’ve seen Heather and Kat for a long time. Started with them at the Lodge. Followed happily when Heather founded Pilates and Custom Fitness.

Heather introduced me to Pilates. Jessic continues my private instruction. Pricier than classes, but I have earned this self care routine. I’ve also used Annelle, Lisa and
Erin for privates. All of the instructors are friendly, caring and knowledgeable . All have demonstrated willingness to change with my needs. I’ve known several of the trainers for over 10 years. Big changes have occurred.

Jackie lives close by and is also great. She can train and manage the office. Most importantly herd all of us cats. Mary B I’ve known in a prior life is also great at leading Pilates and Fitness.

Going to a new gym is always nerve-wracking because you wonder what the people and atmosphere will be like. On my first day, walking in, I immediately felt at ease and excited to try new workouts and meet new people. I love everything about it, and Kat is amazing and knowledgeable about pilates and other workouts. She will help modify if you have certain restrictions that prevent you from doing certain workouts. (Thank you, Kat 😊) If you’re thinking about starting your workout journey or wanting to switch gyms, please keep Pilates & Custom Fitness in mind. You will not be disappointed and will always make time for classes, I promise. :)

I would give this place more stars if I could. Dealing with menopause at an yearly age did a number on my body and self confidence. Found these guys in August of last year and it has literally saved my life. Kat is my personal trainer and I also mix in classes with Heather. Absolutely amazing and made it so comfortable for me to learn this new body and get back to being stronger and more confident! Everyone is amazing-even the other clients. Really does feel like going to see good old friends and sweat. Got alot more to do to get to the place I want but they have me for life! I actually find myself planning my days around a workout schedule because it makes me feel that good. Who am I! Thanks to everyone there! But Kat a BIG thank you to you for putting up with my faces and grunts :)

I have been working out with my Pilates Trainer, Lisa M., for almost three years and she is WONDERFUL! I started Pilates at the suggestion of my physical therapist to help with the effects of aging and reduced flexibility. Lisa is extremely focused and attentive to my needs and adjusts the sessions accordingly. At the same time, she is a (positive) stickler for proper form and technique and provides good feedback when I attempt to "cheat." All of the trainers have helped with my core strength and agility; I truly feel they care about me and my fitness/health. Highly recommend!

The variety of classes I take there along with their cardio equipment I use has changed my body, health, mind, and soul for the better!
