My private Pilates sessions are invaluable to me in focusing on strength and mobility exercises that allow me to continue to participate in sports that I enjoy. Meghan is exceptional in checking my form and keeping me motivated, while considering and working with my various injuries from week to week.

Katie is an absolute gem of a Pilates instructor! Her energy is uplifting, her guidance is clear and intentional, and she truly knows how to push you while still making you feel supported. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, more grounded, and motivated to keep showing up. She creates a space that’s both empowering and encouraging—exactly what you want in an instructor. Couldn’t ask for better. Thank you, Katie

Working with Clari Bowman at STL Pilates Lab has been the most joyful health and fitness experience I've ever had. The classical Pilates approach of the studio is rigorous and engaging, and being there is always tremendous fun. Clari's attention to movement patterns and form is a perfect complement to her ambitions for clients to get stronger, more flexible, and to feel well in every way possible. I can't recommend Clari and the Lab highly enough!

I enjoy coming to the Pilates lab. The instructors are all very kind. The Pilates Lab gives off such positive energy it’s hard not to look forward to coming in. I have worked with Susan for a little over 2 years now and she is such an amazing instructor and really listens to her clients. They’re stuck with me for life!

Solid equipment quality all from Gratz and amazing instructors. I have been a student with Katie Dalzell, one of the best Pilates instructors I know, she is passionate and knowledgeable about Pilates with exceptional attention to detail and years of experience. I recommend my instructor and the Pilates lab.

Finding a good Pilates studio was top of my list when I moved to STL in 2022. As a classical Pilates instructor myself with more than 20 years teaching experience, I had high standards and I was beyond thrilled to find The Lab. My sessions with Kristen and Susan are highlights of my week. They and the other instructors are superb. I feel amazing after my sessions and I am so impressed by the level of teaching at the Lab. I love and respect it so much I started teaching here.

I've been going to the STL Pilates Lab for a year now, and I've had a great experience. Everyone is so welcoming! They all know my name and greet me when I walk in. The energy is so positive. Classical pilates can seem a little intimidating because of all the devices you use, but it's actually very easy to learn. It's all about getting stronger, more agile, and better aligned. There are instructors and clients of all body types, so if you're a little shy about your body like I am, you'll find that you fit in no matter what. I've worked the most with Tess and Karen and I LOVE both of them. I really can't say enough good stuff about the Pilates Lab.

I can’t recommend this place enough! I had never done Pilates when I first started here and Amy, the studio, and the clients were warm, welcoming, and supportive. I have learned so much through the curated 1:1 classes with Amy - she is an excellent coach and she always strives to help you get everything out of each session. I look forward to it every week!

I have taken Pilates with Kelly Bitzer Schneider for 2 1/2 years, most recently at Pilates Lab. Her calm demeanor, and supportive teaching style is most rewarding and has helped me improve tremendously after my knee replacement a year ago. Each lesson is crafted creatively… if I am dealing with a tight back, Kelli incorporates specific Pilates exercises and stretching to alleviate the pain. I look forward to working with Kelly every week!

I can’t say enough amazing things about the teachers and this studio. My husband and I have attended private lessons and small group equipment classes throughout the last few years. The teachers that we have worked with have a deep understanding and ability to make a variety of modifications and suggestions to make the most out of every session.
✨Highly recommend that you check out this studio regardless of your familiarity or skill level in Pilates.

I just recently moved to St. Louis and was thrilled to find the Pilates Lab. I am very new to pilates, but I have quickly fallen in love thanks to this spot. The studio is energetic, gorgeous and comfortable - it seriously feels like you're walking into a museum! Beyond the wonderful setting, the instructors are top notch. Classes with upbeat, fun, and always KICK MY BUTT!! Once starting class, I truly want to stay all day. It's THAT good! But when I do leave, I do so feeling like a whole new person - standing taller and feeling stronger and more connected to my body. And since starting, I've noticed a shift in my body's strength and mindset. I've progressed through exercises much quicker than I ever imagined I could and honestly I think it's because everyone here makes the space feel safe and accepting of people at all experience levels. It can be intimidating to try a new style of workout and join a new studio but if you're going to, THIS is the place to do it. And even if you're a pilates pro, I'm not not sure you could find a better spot to continue your practice. I am so grateful for the Pilates Lab!

The Pilates Lab: a beautiful studio with exceptional instructors. Kristen Davis, one of the co-owners, has been my Pilates guide, teacher and friend for 10 years. I met her when I was at an emotional and physical low after cancer surgery. I signed up for some individual sessions with Kristen to learn about Pilates, and she's been stuck with me ever since. Pilates has done wonders for my body and my self esteem, but it's the quality of Kristen's instruction -- quality and expertise shared by everyone on staff at the Pilates Lab -- that makes me confidently recommend Pilates for people of all ages, physical conditions and goals. Men and women, golfers, runners, skiers, tennis players, not to mention folks like me who stroll more than they power walk, can benefit. I am pushing 70 (and I'm not the Lab's oldest client at all), and I don't think there are any Pilates movements that can't be modified to suit how my joints are feeling. The Pilates Lab staff know what they are doing and delight in helping clients get the most out of a tailored workout in a safe and sane way. Plus, it's fun.

I have been working with Kristen Davis, the co-owner of the Pilates Lab for several years now, and I do not exaggerate when I say that working with her has changed my life. I was at a store some months ago and bumped into a physical therapist I had gone to for awhile. He had a look of complete shock on his face when he saw me, and he said, "What happened to you?" And I said, are you referring to my posture?" He nodded. I told him, "Kristen Davis and Pilates is what happened to me." I look different and I feel different, both physically and emotionally. Do yourself a favor and check out the Pilates Lab!

I have been going to the Pilates Lab for several months now. I have worked with Susan Bange, Shannon West, Tess Losada, and Katie Fortney. All are amazing! All of the instructors are friendly, knowledgable, and ensure they modify exercises based on what muscles you have difficulty activating or stretching. As a physical therapist, I have been so impressed with my experience. It is fun and stress-relieving to come to the studio which is so important (especially during the pandemic). The studio has excellent cleaning and spacing policies so I have never felt unsafe during the pandemic. I can feel obvious changes in my mobility, flexibility, movement awareness, and precision of motion. I am so thankful to have an amazing studio close to home! I would recommend the Pilates Lab to anyone!

I had such a great time in my pilates private at The St. Louis Pilates Lab! Not only did I get a good workout in, but I was able to expand my knowledge of how my body works with personalized feedback from my instructor, Shannon West. Pilates has helped me in so many ways as a training dancer and normal person in my day to day life. Definitely give this place a try!

It's a joy to come to this studio. It's incredibly beautiful and the entire team is so friendly and welcoming. My workouts with Susan are both fun and very challenging. Working out on the Gratz equipment has been a game changer. Everything just "clicked" for me and my workouts are so much more effective now.
