Testimonials

Pilates reminds me to breathe. In the stress and madness of a typical day our bodies tense up, become rigid, we forget to move, and our minds are on overload with multi-tasking and the fragmentation of everyday life. During the Pilates workout my mind is calm, my body is working, breath comes in and out, filling my lungs deep into my back. Breath is exhaled. I feel cleansed.

Kathy

During a doctor’s appointment my primary care physician recommended that I consider taking a Pilates class. I searched for a studio near my home and ended up finding Excel Pilates in Annapolis. From my first session, I felt welcomed, supported, and impressed by the studio’s equipment, professionalism, and the instructors’ deep knowledge and attention to detail. Their coaching is precise, motivating, and I’m grateful to have found a studio I plan to stay with for years.

Michael

I have enjoyed the original Pilates method in various studios throughout the United States, and none compare to Excel Pilates in Annapolis. The instructors are impeccably trained and well-equipped to deal with imperfect bodies and injuries. The studio space is calming and perfectly suited to the focused mind required for Pilates. I highly recommend this business.
