I really cannot say enough good things about this studio and the owner, Joel. I’m 65 and Pilates has become necessary for me to feel good. My instructor, Caroline is one of the most patient and kindest people I’ve ever known and is so knowledgeable.

Outstanding Classic Pilates training at this studio. … and much more! Joel is an excellent teacher who knows his craft…it’s hard to find someone who actually knows Classical Pilates and cares about teaching you correct technique so you don’t injure yourself, you actually see and feel the results … His team of teachers are also classically trained.💖

Stopped in for a class while visiting family in the area. Joel was amazing. Really good with direction and helping with proper form. It was very clear he is the real deal regarding classical Pilates and understanding the method and body. I wish I was able to go to him consistently. Excellent experience.

I got into Pilates, thinking I would just give it a try. After a few short weeks, I realized how much it was benefiting me. I lost an inch and a half in my waist and no longer get fatigued after playing a round of golf. And due to the flexibility training, my golf game has improved significantly. Alice has been a great teacher.

Alice (Wishni) is an incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and adaptive instructor. I had lower back issues and needed to increase core strength as well as increase flexibility & range of motion… Alice patiently worked with me to build a foundation of functional movement that has virtually eliminated my lower back…

Review from Google · view on GoogleMy sibling who lives in another state recommended Vitality Method Studio because their instructor recommended Joel Crosby as a Pilates instructor. I've had a few private sessions with Joel, and wow, this guy is incredible. Lucky for me, he just opened this new studio in Snellville. For those who aren't too familiar with Pilates, it was invented by Joseph Pilates (From Germany), who was sick as a child and created his own physical training system to improve his strength. He later became a professional boxer and self-defense trainer and eventually moved to the USA and opened his own gym in NYC. Now, to my point--there are different styles of Pilates today, but the original form is called Classical Pilates. This is the one you want to do, and Vitality Method Studio focuses solely on the Classical Pilates Method based on Joseph Pilates' techniques and scientific-based exercises (Physical Therapists use these exercises as well). Coming here, I didn't know much about Pilates and wasn't sure how intense the workout would be. You really work your entire body with these exercises, with the main focus on building core strength, correcting posture, and aligning the body. If you're a guy like me, you might think this stuff is easy, but these exercises are exactly what your body needs. Joel is very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and also teaches other instructors. He knows his craft, having taught Pilates for 25 years and worked as a fitness trainer for 31 years. He's an awesome guy, and I would highly recommend this place for anyone--moms, dads, professional athletes, everyone. What I like is that the sessions you do with him are based on where you are currently, so everything is custom to you. As you continue to work with him, your exercises progress into something more challenging.
