First time at Pilates 1st in downtown Phoenix. Great studio and awesome instructor, Jade !
I tried Pilates for the first time at this studio and ended up signing up for monthly classes. Each instructor is phenomenal. I love the individualized attention and small class sizes.
Pilates First is one of a kind! There are several places here in the East Valley that are good. Pilates First is all about being wonderful! Try it, you won’t regret it!
I’ve been taking classes at Pilates 1st in Mesa for the last few months and I can’t speak more highly of my experience. Classes are small, registration is easy, and pricing is fair. I’ve really enjoyed Heather C as an instructor. She always shows up prepared with a class plan that is well-rounded and unique. I…

My class today was with Regina, and she was fantastic. She’s an amazing instructor who consistently pushes me to challenge myself while still making the class approachable and enjoyable. I truly love the classes at Pilates 1st—the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and explain each movement clearly, so the workouts feel both accessible and effective. Each class is thoughtfully structured with a perfect balance of strength, flexibility, and core work, and I always leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and refreshed. I highly recommend Pilates 1st to anyone looking for a results-driven workout led by instructors who truly know their craft and make it fun.

Chelsea - thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad you felt challenged and welcomed. We look forward to seeing you in the studio soon!
Teri came to ASU and instructed a mat Pilates class for us. She was very informative and I loved learning all of the classic Pilates fundamentals and history of it! You can tell she is very knowledgeable about pilates and I had a wonderful experience. She also is a breast cancer survivor and Pilates1st advocates for breast cancer patients and survivors which is incredible. Definitely check them out!
Caroline - I appreciate your kind words and glowing review! I look forward to seeing you in the studio soon!
Excellent reformer Pilates. Fellas, I know! Pilates… I’ll pass. But hear me out. I was a powerlifter in my college days. I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have completed two ultramarathons. I have a third ultramarathon in December and then I’m looking to complete Hyrox in January’26. I decided to give Reformer Pilates a try after reading its founder was a boxer and he used it to train men in WWI. I have not had the sore feeling from a weight training gym workout or long run, but it is a great addition to training. I can tell that it is hitting those stabilization muscles I typically ignore and the stretching is awesome. I mean really who takes time to stretch? So adding it into a class where I am getting muscle training is a win. Give it a try!
Rich - thank you for the amazing review. I’m glad you’re enjoying Pilates as a supplement to your other activities. Keep up the good work! We enjoy having you in the studio!
I really enjoyed my experience at Pilates 1st, especially the Foam Roller class at their new downtown location. The studio is in a very cool building with a fresh, welcoming vibe. Teri made us feel very comfortable. Heather was a fantastic instructor—clear, supportive, and great at walking us through the process, making it easy to follow along even if you’re new. I’m looking forward to trying more classes!
Sarah - thanks so much for your support and review! We enjoyed having you in the foam roller class and love creating a space for people of all levels to feel supported. Heather is a great instructor and we are lucky to have her. We look forward to having you try out a reformer or chair class soon!
I love this studio! Teri is so talented and dedicated to see her students grow and learn .
Monica - thank you so very much for the glowing review. We look forward to seeing you in the studio soon!
