amazing! 7/8/2008

I am a former competitive figure skater, so I've seen basically everything when it comes to strength, cardio, and fitness training. I'm also a doctoral student in Kinesiology, so I pay close attention to things like form, instruction, etc. I haven't had the time or the motivation to go to the gym because I've found it to be mind-numbingly boring... when I took classes at the gym, the instructors just pushed through everything with no regard to form, technique or quality. Pros: quality of instruction and workout, great facilities Cons: realizing how out of shape you are as you sweat and shake your way through class :) more

Best Pilates Studio Period!! 7/21/2007

The Lithe Studio is fantastic. I have been a member for the past few months and I could sing its praises for days!! The studio offers a diverse assortment of classes that all share the same goal: strengthing your core and whittling your waist. These classes include Melt, which helps to relieve tension in addition to downsizing your waist. Another class, Fat Free, incorporates trampolines and is a blast( who doesn't love jumping on trampolines?). Two other classes, short shorts and skinny jeans are the ultimate in sculpting your lower body. You do a LOT of barre work. At lithe, no part of your body goes neglected. Regardless of whether I'm taking the A-list abs class or Short-Shorts, I feel sore ALL OVER. Side Note: I could barely walk for 2 days straight after my first short-shorts class! In addition to the fab classes, the instructors are true gems as well. They are motivating and super attentive. They let you know when your form is less than ideal and they understand your limits. The studio is clean and inviting to people of all fitness levels. I initially was self-concious given my minimal exposure to pilates. However, the studio requires anyone that wants to take classes to first enroll in the immersion course. You meet two days a week for about a month and after the first two weeks you're allowed to drop into any level 2 or mixed level classes that interest you during the month. I gained a lot of strength during the immersion program. Ever since the immersion program I've been hooked and have faithfully purchased monthly unlimited class passes. I highly recommend Lithe to anyone who wants to tone up, get stronger, and feel energized. Pros: amazing results, attentive instructors, clean studio, challenging yet fun workouts Cons: am classes require reservations, very full classes in the evening more

Results! 6/22/2006

""I just finished week 2 of the Lithe Immersion and I have to say it has kicked my a$$. This is an incredible workout! I'm super out of shape and used to have a gym membership that I didn't ever use.....I hate gyms, I hate running, I've tried everything....but once I finally got up the incentive (20 lbs overweight) to check out the Lithe Method, I can't believe I waited this long and wasted so much money on diet infomercials and gyms. This workout works every muscle in your body and elongates it. You can feel it! Pros: Very clean, small class size, beautiful studio and it's fun! Cons: There is sometimes a wait-list for classes. more

Skinny Jeans it true to its name and I swear to you even my skinny jeans are starting to get big. Pros: Instructors, Class Schedules, Free Parking!

Lauren Boggi Rocks! 1/23/2006

How can I put this? Lauren is exquisite. She has such great knowledge of her craft and an amazingly positive attitude. I've had back, shoulder and knee problems most of my adult life. I'm working with Lauren to address my general well being as well as my specific problems. I would recommend Lauren to anyone with injuries or just looking for a great Pilates experience. Pros: Great Attitude, Reasonable Fees, Easy Parking Cons: Hike from Center City more

Absolutely wonderful! 12/27/2005

Lauren is a fabulous instructor! This is the best place I've been to. There is no attitude...you feel welcome the minute you walk in. The studio has a very relaxing feel. The space is clean and welcoming. You walk out of there feeling relaxed yet knowing you got a tremendous workout! Everyone should try this place out! Pros: Lauren!!!, relaxing space, reasonable price Cons: a bit of a trek more

topnotch! 8/20/2005

Fabulous instruction and I love the no attitude, no intimidation factor. People of all experience levels and age groups are welcomed into this intimate, sparkling clean haven of health. To me it's always a plus when you have free parking and a bathroom sprinkled with Mario Badescu products! I highly recommend this studio. Pros: great parking, Reasonable prices, small class size more
