Wow..have been going to this studio for about 4 months. Had alot of back pain when I started and it is completely gone. I can now do the Pilates Boot Camp...this is honestly one of the best workouts I have ever had and I have tried everything. It is always great to see the owner's (Marilyn) interaction with the staff members that are there waiting for their classes to start, and clients leaving classes that ended. It seems like everyone knows each other and there is a good rapport/friendliness. Going to Sana Vita Studio was the best decision I've made in a long time. If you are suffering with chronic pain and feel like you've tried everything, you owe it to yourself to check out Marilyn's studio. I went in skeptical and came out feeling fantastic.

I have never done pilates or yoga but have wanted to try them for quite a while. Felt a little intimidated at first but once the class started I was hooked. Very challenging pilates class but so much fun. The place is beautiful and spotless (I wish my house was as clean.) Now I was ready for yoga. Tried a class with Teri and she was so helpful and fun. The postures were difficult for me but she helped me with modifications. I would highly recommend Sana Vita Studio to all my friends. I already got a free class for referring someone.

Can't say enough about this great studio. I have been attending Reformer classes at Sana Vita Studio for about 3 months. It has been such a rewarding experience. The instructors are wonderful and pay alot of attention to your form because the classes have a maximum of 8 people. I feel so much better-- lost weight, much stronger and have more energy. I started with 5 private lessons whith Marilyn and that helped me to gain an understanding of proper form. I look forward to my classes 2 x per week and wouldn't think of missing!

I have been very pleased with my Pilates sessions at Sana Vita. I explained to Marilyn how my knee gets stressed, and at times also gives me pain when I squat. She designed a very effective exercise routine that appropriately progressed me through movements and positions in which I needed to get stronger in order for the pain to abate. After a session, I always feel more balanced and I also feel as if my movements have been corrected. I was especially impressed with how Marilyn was attuned to small details when I performed the exercises. I am a personal trainer and a muscle activation technique specialists, and I know how small mechanical details can have a significant impact on results gained from exercise. For example, she noticed how my foot would externally rotate or pronate as I was performing squats. She suggested some exercises that worked the muscles of my foot. After doing these exercises my squats were much more stable.

I began attending Sana Vita Studio in the last 30 days and am addicted to the mat and reformer classes…really to the instructors as they are fabulously trained and make my new Pilates work-out extraordinary. I have always been a gym fanatic, running 25-35 miles a week and doing weights three/four times a week; Pilates has allowed me to limited the harshness of running and has strengthen my entire body in ways in which all the gym time (running and weightlifting could never have done). The instructors, Marilyn and Amy, are so prepared and deliver specialized instruction to all their clients (looking at skills sets, weaknesses and strengths at an individual level) the classes feel like individual instruction because they are managed so well and by individuals who care (classes hold from 3-6 people so you can see that this team won’t overload the classes and do really make sure form and concepts are understood). I highly recommend San Vita Studio for the novices or experts in Pilates…..if I did not have a day job I would be at the studio three times a day as it is the best total body workout and will change your body in a matter of sessions!
My back doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks Sana Vita!

I am really not well adjusted enough to have taken pilates on my own initative, but after my wife dragged me to Sana Vita two years ago, I started going on a regular basis and I am a huge fan. Once I had 35 in the rear view mirror various body parts had decided not to cooperate with my master plan (ie. playing basketball, walking, working out, sitting in a chair comfortably, etc.). After only a couple of months of pilates under Master Guru Marilyn at Sana Vita, and her team, I no longer have any problems with my back or hip. Sana Vita is very clean, professionally managed, and the people are great.
Best Studio in the City, best instructors and spotless!

For me, Pilates is the only thing that got my body to where I wanted it to be. I didn't know anything about it, so I tried Sana Vita studio. Prior to having a baby, I'd never even worked out a day in my life. After the baby, something had to be done. Six months after starting Pilates with the amazing instructors at Sana Vita, I had more confidence in a bathing suit than I'd ever had before. The instructors are attentive and care about their clients. They take the time to make sure you are in the correct position, and regardless of how many people are in a class (max 6), you feel like you are the only one. This is the best studio in the city...and it's the cleanest!! I highly recommend making a visit if you dread getting into a suit this summer.
High quality training, customized workout programs, great space.

I have tried many different instructors to help me with my back pain and it seemed to get worse with every new experience. I began working with pilates & yoga instructor Marilyn, at Sana Vita and I was amazed at my improvement. I am not the most coordinated person and Marilyn and the other instructors have shown me so much patience.
