I first tried Pilates at Pilates Sports and Fitness last year (2017) with Sharla. I absolutely loved working out with her-but it wasn't until I left Tempe and moved to Phoenix that I realized how important it was for me to start with such a great instructor. I spent the past 6 months trying to find a good studio in Phoenix but had some difficulty because nothing was quite like Pilates Sports and Fitness for me. I feel like Sharla did a great job of showing me everything I could do in Pilates and now I have high standards when looking into other studios. I went to one studio a few months ago that I felt pretty blah about-the workouts were not dynamic at all, they did nothing for me. I realized that having the correct instruction was important. If I had never worked out with Sharla I may not have known what Pilates has to offer. I use this as a standard in finding the right studio for me. Unfortunately, because of my location, it doesn't work for me to travel to Tempe to attend classes with her-but I hightly recommend this studio!
