Best Pilates Studio

There are several great Pilates studios in Nashville — really, I love them all — but there’s just something about Marathon Pilates East. The sister studio to Marathon Pilates in 12South, the East Nashville location is more spacious and has ample parking options, which is the Holy Grail for anyone who has been late to a class — or missed a class — due to repeatedly circling the block in search of parking. The instructors are fantastic, and the studio offers a variety of classes based on students’ fitness level or personal goals (as a beginner you do not want to end up in a Reformer Mastery class, for instance). The body-sculpt, mixed-equipment and cardio-jump classes are particularly fun for those who like a challenge, and the AAA class — that’s arms, abs and ass — will seriously kick all three of those body parts (and all of the ones in between, really). Private sessions are also offered if group classes are not your thing. If you’re new to Pilates, check out Marathon’s Reformer Fundamentals class so you can get acquainted with the Reformer apparatus in a friendly and welcoming environment. My body feels toned, relaxed and balanced just thinking about it. ABBY WHITE
