I’ve been going to Union Pilates for over 5 years and cannot recommend it enough. Ashley and her teachers have created a welcoming community to learn classical Pilates at the highest level.

Union Pilates has truly transformed my body and the way I feel in it. Over the years, I’ve gone from struggling with lower back pain to feeling strong, aligned, and pain-free. My posture has improved significantly, and I carry myself with more ease and confidence now.
Ashley is an incredible instructor—completely tuned in to each person in the group tower class. She offers thoughtful modifications based on each individual’s mobility, injuries, and body type, which makes every session feel personalized and safe. The classes are small and intimate, and it’s been such a joy getting to know everyone week after week. There’s a real sense of community and support in the room.
Union Pilates is such a positive, uplifting environment—it’s become something I genuinely look forward to every week. I’m so grateful for the care, connection, and transformation I’ve experienced here.

Union Pilates absolutely changed my life. It helped me heal from back trauma and pain, set me up well for pregnancy and postpartum, and has given me a much deeper understanding of my body. I also got my 83 year old mom to go and she LOVED It!

The best Pilates classes in Seattle. By far. Union Pilates makes it fun and rigorous at the same time.

I have been going to Union Pilates for over 12 years. They have done such a great job helping me keep my chronic back problems under control. I have encouraged friends and family to start doing Pilates, and those who have, absolutely love it. I do too and would highly recommend Union Pilates to you. They are amazing.

After two babies, I needed to pull my body back together AND I needed a compassionate coach to guide my body mechanics and push me to rebuild my strength. I'd never taken pilates before Union but I knew, after lots of physical therapy, that pilates was the next best step. THANK GOODNESS for Ashley and her team! I am finally starting to feel like myself again, like my strength is returning, I'm not in pain all the time, and I'm more capable of doing the fitness I desire (like lifting weights and even light running). As a former pro-athlete, I have super high standards when it comes to coaches/trainers/instructors and the fitness I invest in–Union Pilates has propelled my healing and strength in a way that felt unachievable. I can't recommend Union enough. Sign up!!!

Absolutely recommend Union Pilates! Easy parking, always clean, bright, energetic. I have taken classes from both Elise and Ashley, who owns the studio. Love the private sessions to focus more leveling up my practice, and the group classes for regular maintenance. Love that the classes are typically pretty challenging and also rejuvenating if I hit them during my lunch break, mornings or mid-day. Couldn't recommend this studio more.

I must admit, I haven't had much success with yoga classes or gyms. But, at Union Pilates, I found my place. The classes are tiny so it's the ideal balance of a group experience and 1 on 1 guidance. The owner, Ashley, is paying attention to you and offering relevant, specific guidance without the focus being totally on you. I LOVED it and plan to go back on a regular basis. It truly was the most comfortable, motivating and useful fitness class I've ever had. Hot tip- wear form fitting clothes.

I love, love, love Union Pilates and Ashley Newman so much that whenever I'm in town from Portland, I try to take a class or schedule a private session. Ashley is the best Pilates instructor I've ever experienced. Her in depth knowledge and personal care are outstanding!

I love this place! Union Pilates isn't a mill. The instructors are carefully selected, and they are careful with our bodies. Mine, in particular!
If you're like me, you have to go to work every day and you want to stay fit (or maybe rehab an injury or whatever), and Union's instructors are going to make sure that you get your work in without hurting yourself. This is a big deal - I've had workouts that have left me achy & breaky the next day, but this doesn't happen at Union, because the instructors pay attention, correct your form, and do not push you past your capabilities.
Great location, parking, all of that. One more side note.
At 61, I still play softball, and every spring it takes me a couple of weeks to get the arm loose enough to throw well. I came to Union during the off-season, and at our first practice, my arm was in mid-season form.
I do group sessions, some younger people, some athletes and some not. They all love Union, but I'm writing about it. Looking forward to seeing you there. For real.

Ashley is the most tuned in instructor. Her classes feel like a supportive group lesson with Ash able to help each person from the small group individually with their needs. Private lessons and mat classes put me ahead of other studio students and her tower classes are so fun and challenging.

Ashley is so passionate and authentic about Pilates, if you don't like the gym and/or have suffered an injury recently you should meet with her to get back into the flow of things. She will tell you that injuries/body issues are just a part of life and you don't have to let it hold you back. She helps her clients navigate the physical and emotional road blocks and reach their full physical and mental potential. Stop by her studio and get educated on Pilates exercise and learn how it can improve your life.

After being a regular gym goer for years and then falling off the exercise wagon I was looking for a way to get back into shape so decided to try Pilates. It's a whole new thing to me, where the equipment seemed daunting and its operation obscure. But after leaving the first session feeling taller and straighter I decided to sign up! I'm now a regular and love it. Ashley is great; very knowledgeable about Pilates and exercise physiology, is very professional has a warm personality and quickly assesses and plans a program for your body. Its seems easy at first but oh boy there is plenty of challenge available in this studio! If you are sick of lifting weights, bored at the gym or trying to get your body working again, the emphasis on core strength, flexibility and control are a breath of fresh air. I sound like a convert I know, but do check out Union Pilates. It's also in a great location, and you can actually see Lake Union from there!
