Working out at the SweatShop allows me to stay in good condition, keep routine going in my life, see people whom I care about and who care about me, and feel like I am part of something good – a special group of people. Their team of professionals has impressed me with their creativity and initiative, and I have seen how much they really care about the members happiness and well-being. That feeling of being cared for and cared about is what has kept me at the SweatShop for all these years.

From the first time I walked into the SweatShop, it just felt right, and I couldn’t wait to get started. The classes are small, the instructors are personable and highly professional, and they are generous with their time and knowledge."

The work I have done with the SweatShop team has allowed me to survive and thrive mentally and emotionally during a very difficult time, I would not be where I am today without the SweatShop team!

The SweatShop professional training program is excellent. The Instructor Trainers are very knowledgeable, not only in the STOTT PILATES® method, but also in anatomy, and practical application of the exercises with clients and appropriate modifications. They have many years of experience working with clients and give excellent and accurate instruction.
