Hilliard Studio Method (HSM) is by far the best full body workout that I've ever tried. Additionally, the classes are incredibly dynamic in that they're intense but they're also always evolving and changing which keeps it from ever getting boring. Attending HSM regularly for 5 months has changed the tone of my body immensely and helped me recover from a running injury. I practiced ballet for 14 years and HSM is also one of the few barre classes that I've been to around charlotte that actually gets into properly aligned ballet positions - and the teachers will help you get into position if you're having trouble; tons of focus on form and alignment (not just going through the motions). It's amazing. I'm moving to the west coast in a few weeks and I genuinely think HSM will be what I miss most about charlotte. Definitely a must if you enjoy barre/pilates (or a thorough but amazing workout in general).
