Love Studio Blue! 5/17/2011

First and most importantly, the classes are fantastic and the instructors are first class. The instructors really pay attention to you, help you modify poses if you have injuries and are incredibly knowledgeable. Who needs a personal trainer when you can go to a Sculpt class here? Seriously, save your $ - they work your arms, butt, legs. Oh and if you can get into their Booty Camp workshops. Phenomenal, the BEST deal, you work HARD, sweat and are wonderfully achy afterwards, but girl, with bikini season here ... it's the way to go. Oh and it doesn't hurt that you are treated like family here. I just love the people. I'd hate to let the secret out, but they are the BEST boutique pilates studio in PDX. No joke. more

Studio Blue is FABULOUS! 1/17/2011

I came to Studio Blue after purchasing a Groupon-the Groupon came and went, but I am still coming to classes! I’ve been doing yoga and Pilates for a little over 2 years, and I had been looking for a class that incorporates the relaxation offered through Yoga and the tight workout of Pilates. Rebecca’s Yoga/Pilates sculpt class IS that perfect balance I’ve been searching for-I leave class feeling relaxed, while my arms, thighs and buns leave with that satisfied burning feeling of a good workout! I would recommend her class to anyone who is looking for that perfect balance, not to mention the studio space itself is relaxing and the staff and the other people in class are always friendly and cheerful. As long as the studio continues to offer classes, I will be coming to them! more

Highly recommended 9/16/2010

Before happening upon Studio Blue, I had taken pilates and yoga classes at least four other studios, but I never really felt totally comfortable. Dan Walton and the Studio Blue team changed that. The mat room is handsomely designed, spacious and at the same time, cozy. Everything about the studio is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, but that's not really why it's so great. Dan, Wendi, Angelina, Ishbel, Rebecca, Tami... I've taken classes from all of them, and each class is special in its own way. I feel really motivated by each of these teachers, and it's what keeps me coming back. I also think the classes are well-priced. The monthly unlimited mat classes are a steal, and because I feel like I'm getting so much (I go 5-6 times a week) I can splurge on extras, like the special weekend workshops they offer, or sweat in the 6-week Boot Camp. Studio Blue is far and away the best pilates and yoga studio I have ever encountered. more

Studio Blue has helped me change my body and my life 8/29/2010

I discovered Studio Blue after taking a yoga class from one of its instructors, Angelina Vasile. Angelina's approach to conditioning is unreal and her attention to detail is impeccable. I started with a private reformer session with her and started exploring the mat classes offered. I have been nothing but impressed. The staff are top notch, facilities are clean and well maintained, classes are small and I am always greeted like family. I love that the staff truly cares about me and asks how my injuries are healing. This isn't a factory-style approach to fitness. My hands-down favorite class is booty camp taught by Tami and Dan! Its an hour of weights-cardio-pilates fun. Its transforming my body and is addicting. I've never had so much fun getting in shape. Can not tell enough people about this wonderful studio. more

Great place for all levels of pilates 7/8/2009

At 70 I want to be able to stay at least as fit as I am and the staff at Studio Blue is atune to my needs and limitations and excellent with their detailed and clear instructions. I would recommend this for 'gentle' as well as advanced pilates or for anyone who is just beginning and needs to get to know the techniques. Pros: excellent staff, individual attention during small classes more

Challenging classes that are effective and fun to take! 4/28/2009

I really like the range of classes that you've added to the class schedule. I've noticed changes in my body/core... They each offer a challenge in so many different ways...all of that ongoing classes/trainings are paying off, I feel like you are developing your awareness and increasing your knowledge of how to make your students practice more effective. Coming to classes continue to be something that I look forward to in my schedule each week. Pros: variety, improved core strength, great trainers more

The best pilates instructors in the city! I can't wait to go back! 3/3/2009

I love this place! \r I have been to a few pilates classes elsewhere, but this was the best experience that I have ever had. The instructors were knowledgeable and welcoming. During my week free, I went to 2 pilates classes, a yoga class, and a springboard class! Also, the place is very stylish, and I loved the feeling of comfort and relaxation as soon as I walked in the door.\r Pros: week free, intro private sessions, very friendly staff more

Got my high school body back at age 47!!! These guys rock! 1/8/2009

Taking classes at Studio Blue has totally changed my body. After 30 yrs of being about 15 lbs heavier I've kept the weight off now for nearly 2 years(even that last stubborn 5 lbs) and I believe I have an even BETTER body than I did when I was a teenager. In no time at all I reduced my waistline 2 pants sizes and can see muscle definition I never dreamed I could have. I've tried other yoga/pilates/exercise studios in town and stayed with SB for several reasons: the small intimate class sizes where I get personal attention, the way I've always been welcomed and treated like family, and the EXTREMELY reasonable pricing (better than anyplace else I've tried in town). Dan always greets me with a smile and his enthusiasm is contagious. I never dread going there to work out -- instead I look forward to classes that are fun, and trainers who take the time to get to know me. There are so many different classes/times to choose from that I can easily fit several workouts per week into my schedule, and every class is a little bit different so I'm never bored. Dan, Ishbel, and the other trainers do a great job of making you feel comfortable in class regardless of your previous experience/fitness level and I find the workouts challenging but never intimidating. Great location and easy free street parking too. I tried the ""first week free"" offer (which allows you to choose as many classes as you want to from the 20+ available each week) and have been devoted to Studio Blue ever since. I would encourage anyone who is interested in pilates, yoga, or just getting in the best core shape of your life to stop by and try a free week. Oh, and they also have TRULY private Private Instruction so I'm in a room of my own with my trainer (rather than a group setting with other trainers and clients) which is great for those of us who tend to be self-conscious! Pros: Personal attention, GREAT prices, many classes to choose from more

My Back Pain Is Gone 12/20/2008

I have been working with Dan at Studio Blue for over a year now. When I first started, I was not very flexible, my abs were weak and I was suffering from low back pain. After the first week I could feel my abs getting stronger. After the first month I could see my posture improving. And after 3 months, 40 years of back pain is now gone. Studio Blue and Dan will forever be in my life. Thank you!!!\r \r Pros: Knowledgeable Staff, Beautiful Space, Great Location Cons: None!!! more

Great Staff, Warm friendly, and fun atomsphere--and the greatest work out in town! 12/11/2008

Studio Blue has the BEST staff---Make sure the start with the introductory privates! They make a huge difference, and I finally learned the RIGHT way to do pilates. The mat classes are fabulous---every instructor has their own take, but everyone has the Studio Blue ""feeling."" At the end of class, my body is energized, and I get a special spring in my step. I love the Studio Blue work out, and I feel better than I have in years!\r I recommend Studio Blue Pilates to EVERYONE! Plus, the PRICE IS REALLY GOOD Pros: Great Price, great staff, great work out Cons: None I can think of! more

Studio Blue keeps me centered! 9/11/2008

I have been going to Studio Blue for about a year and a half now. I do privates and Springboard class with Dan, who is just amazing. Pilates has improved my flexibility and given me amazing core strength. I also feel taller and leaner after Pilates, which was confirmed after my last doctors visit. I have grown 1/2 an inch, from 5' 5.5"" to 5' 6""! \r \r I love coming to the studio because no matter how bad or tired I feel, Dan has a wonderful way of tuning my workout to exactly the level I need that day. I always walk out of the studio feeling lighter, more centered and energized than I did when I came in. Dan also knows how to push you past where you think you can go to help you get stronger. \r \r I'm one of those people who doesn't really like ""going to the gym""...but I love the feeling and results I'm getting with Studio Blue Pilates! I highly recommend you stop by to see for yourself. You won't be disappointed! Pros: Great People, Wonderful Setting, Feels like a Family more

Studio blue is my Pilates Family 7/14/2008

I was convinced to try Pilates for the first time at Studio Blue a year ago. I am an athletic girl, but I am not much of a ""yoga person."" But, after my first class, my soul was sold to Pilates. I have been coming to Studio Blue for a year now, and it has become my second home. The studio is friendly, personal with class sizes that max at 12. Every instructor is talented and different, and over this past year my body has changed for the better. I am more flexible, stronger, and without a doubt, have more energy. Pilates is seriously for everyone. Pros: A more

What are you waiting for? 1/26/2008

I have always avoided any sort of exercise because a) it hurts, b) it is not fun and feels like work and c) its embarrassing/intimidating for me to go to a gym. So, with much trepidation I made my first private Pilates session w/ Dan. I was warmly greeted in a lovely, cozy space and felt so comfortable, I hardly knew that I was about to work out. Dan was kind and patient and has a passion for his work that is infectious - he has always been able to target my sessions to my unique needs. He is knowledgeable and an inspired teacher ? he has a gift for positive motivation. \r I have been going to private sessions since this summer and my bod is transformed! How, you may ask? Well, not only can I touch my toes, but two weeks ago, I touched the floor ? a feat I have never been able to accomplish. Beside that, my butt looks smokin? and I have abs ? me! But the most astonishing statistic of all is that I have gained ? of an inch of height- all confirmed by my speechless and very impressed physician. (I should say regained after losing it from years of working at a desk and poor posture). If you love yourself, go to Studio Blue and let Dan and Angela help you create a new fabulous you. Pros: private training, atmosphere, location, knowledgeable and kind instructors, online scheduling more

Angela is an\r inspiring instructor that helped facilitate the changes I have experienced.\r I believe that everyone, regardless of age or fitness level, can benefit\r from Pilates.\r \r Jake more

Great pilates studio! 8/6/2007

I started going to this pilates studio a couple of months ago, just trying to get in better shape. I had never tried pilates but heard that it was a good workout. And it was hard to pass up a free week of classes! I could feel the results even after the first class! I can touch my toes now too! And I've been told my butt is looking (and feeling) better! :)\r \r Dan and Angela are great instructors! They're so warm, friendly, and encouraging. The small class sizes are great. They're getting so popular (with good reason) that some of the classes fill up though (but they're hoping to expand). I love the personal attention and the variety! There are so many different classes to take and they're offered at multiple times so you can usually find one to fit your schedule. Some of the classes are great for stretching. Other classes are more hardcore. But even though it can be tough at times (it's good pain!), Dan and Angela have a way of making it fun so you want to keep coming back!\r \r This is a great studio for anyone, even total beginners like me! Pros: Great instructors, good location, ample parking, relaxing environment, good prices/value, small class sizes, pretty much everything! more
