I suffered nerve damage & was unable to walk...I was told I needed physical therapy to completey heal. PILATES JOE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!\n\nI looked into several Pilates studios into the Phoenix & Scottsdale area, and luckily found one centrally located. Pilates Joe is right next to Smart & Final in the Thunderbird Square Center (surrounded by healthy dining such as Fresh Mint & Subway), this establishment has ample parking, which has never been an issue! \n\nWhere do I start?! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable & SUPER FRIENDLY!!!! No matter what level you are or even a first-timer to Pilates, there is NO intimidation. The front desk staff will also greet you with a warm welcome, and are willing & able to answer any questions you may have! Cleanliness is a HUGE factor for me (especially in a fitness environment), and I was pleased to find a well kept studio, the hardwood floors were spotless, and even the restrooms were immaculate! The studio space is quite large, which was unexpected from the exterior.\n\nI would recommend Pilates Joe to EVERYONE, I mean what do you have to lose?? The first class was free so I thought, \"WHY NOT?!\". Yoga is offered as well, and they offer so much variety, I really can't get enough! Pricing is also reasonable and not outrageous like other Pilates studios that offer fancy equipment. Pilates Joe has everything I need! I think that about covers it, but I can go on & on! Go check it out for yourself!"^^ .
