Beautiful pilates studio - I highly recommend it!
Amy M.
I started at Reforming Foundations with a goal of helping my posture, as I spend most of my days on my feet wearing heavy lead and had begun to experience back and shoulder pain. What I discovered... through my practice with the instructors (both with individual and group classes) was a world that transformed my body, helped me gain focus and confidence, and really brought me to a place of overall wellness that improved my life tremendously. Everyone is incredibly professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I was lucky enough to work mostly with Erin, Stacey, and Barb, but honestly every instructor is incredible. I highly recommend Reforming Foundations and am forever grateful for their dedication to me!read more

I started seeing Brooke in mid December after being referred to her from my Physical Therapist. She has been so kind and passionate since the beginning. Her knowledge and skill just radiates through... her performance. After months of PT this has been the icing on the cake and a true godsend to true complete healing within my body. I have made huge strides in the short time I have spent at RF. I have worked with Jenny and Brooke once or twice a week since January 2022 and between the two of them it has been a total game changer. Although these two are my Instructors, I can say without a doubt that anyone you meet when walking into RF, is going to completely blow you away. They are the most welcoming crew of individuals in this studio and the atmosphere leaves you filling loved and your cup filled. They make each visit personal and truly care for each person who steps in the studio. 10/10 recommend going here, whether if its for exercise, friendship, problems within your body, or just overall strength and flexibilty goals; you will not be disappointed!read more

Major shout out to Veronica at Reforming Pilates! I have conditions that are rarely understood/treated in the medical field. I feel like everything I tell her is completely understood, accommodated,... and adapted to suit me. And it's never an imposition. Her knowledge, spirit, and charm are so refreshing. I not only know I'm going to get stronger, but I also don't feel like I'm a burden and that's everything.read more

I feel very safe here and the staff is wonderful. Dr. Cecily Ciaramitaro has helped me in so many ways other physical therapists could not.

I found reforming foundations Pilates in February! It has been the answer I have been looking for! I have had one on one classes with Angela - Who showed me where my core was ! LOL pod classes with... Stacy… Kicks my butt every time! And recently had a mat class with Michelle- I have found each instructor to be professional and friendly! The owner, Brooke, made a point to introduce herself to me… And Miranda, has called me to personally go over my schedule, or make suggestions on which programs would benefit me! So happy to say, with clean eating on my part… And their excellent instruction I have lost my COVID-19 weight gain!!!! My goal is to get leaner and stronger… And, as Angela knows, sleeveless shirts this summer! LOLread more

I’m a 46 year old avid cyclist with a history of lower back and pelvic issues. A history of adolescent power strength training coupled with a major fall in my mid-twenties led to years of 2,400 mg of... ibuprofen a day, too many steroid injections to count, and at least half a dozen stints of physical therapy. None of that provided any lasting help or relief. I was introduced to Brooke and her Reforming Foundations practice about 2 years ago. Classes and 1:1 sessions had me feeling stronger than ever.COVID shut down Riding and Pilates and doubled the time I was spending sitting at a desk. I woke one day and could barely walk. This lasted for 2 weeks and through the typical corticosteroid, muscle relaxers, and NSAIDs. I called Brooke figuring if I could get moving again, I could feel better. At that stage of the pandemic, it was not possible to have 1:1 in person instruction, but I could have in home physical therapy and that’s when Brooke introduced me to Lindsey. After just a couple visits with Lindsey and doing my homework, I was up and around and getting stronger.We worked in concert with physical therapy, manipulation, and targeted Pilates over several weeks.I have been pain free for over a year now and without NSAIDS, muscle relaxers, or steroids. The longest pain free span since my mid-twenties.I’m stronger than I’ve ever been.I am able to move more freely using muscles I was not able to access prior.I am faster on my bike.And I am happier without the suffering.Thank you Brooke, Lindsey, and all of the kind and generous people at Reforming Foundations. You’ve not only helped me heal, you’ve made my life better.read more
Lee D.
I have been working with Reforming Foundations for about a year and a half, focusing on lower back issues. With the help of Brook and all the other great staff we have pretty much resolved the issue.... During COVID they have been screening clients upon arrival, temps taken hands washed and the COVID questionnaire. Also they are really limiting the number of clients in the building. Safe and welcoming just what we need now.read more
Brian N
I've been working out at RF for a couple years, and during this time of COVID, I've been extremely comfortable going to the studio. Everyone is properly distanced, wearing masks and there is no... shared equipment. I've gone to other fitness places and RF stands out as the place that follows all the precautionary guidelines and is definitely doing the right thing.read more
John P.
Everyone here is skilled, highly trained, friendly, upbeat, and a joy to be around. I feel safe as they keep the facility very clean and do covid screenings and temp checks each visit. I’ve been... going to treat an array of issues and since day one my back stiffness and pain have drastically reduced. I still have a ways to go but I’m confident that these are the people who will get me where I want to be. I even refer my own patients here to address strength and mobility deficits.read more
Nina R.
I discovered Reforming Foundations in search of a Physical Therapist. I was dream to the studio's offering of both PT and Pilates.My experience working with Dr. Cecily has been nothing short of... wonderful. I've learned so much (in a short time!) about proper body mechanics, in addition to core strengthening and posture improvement exercises. I'd been living (painfully) with a weak pelvic floor, and carrying stress in my lower back for such a long time. I am overwhelmed by how much better I feel as a result of Dr. Cecily's expertise and care. I am so grateful to her!read more
Taylor R.
I started doing private sessions at Reforming Foundations in 2019 when I realized it was cheaper than physical therapy I'd previously tried for hip dysplasia. That quickly turned into me falling in... love with pilates and all of the staff. This year my health took a turn for the worse after multiple months of exposure to toxic black mold in my old office. This stirred up more joint issues and I returned for physical therapy since two PTs are now on staff at Reforming Foundations. I also was able to take advantage of the sauna in the studio (which my doctor said was the best way to get rid of mold in the body) after my PT sessions. The convenience of having my workouts and PT and the sauna in the same place is amazing. I cannot thank the staff of this pilates studio enough for helping me get my health under control and my body stronger.read more
Commandeur K.
Warm, wonderful staff! Everyone is so welcoming and their online Pilates classes have been a Godsend! In 2 short months, I have already experienced such a huge difference for my core strength and my... stamina. Now after baby number 2, I’m very self-conscious and not athletic. But they have helped me feel very comfortable, and I love their exercises! I really appreciate Brooke and her amazing staff, and I am really looking forward to participating in group classes in the future!read more
Brie-Anna F.
I initially came in for the infrared sauna. Everyone was so nice and I’ve always been thinking about trying Pilates so I signed up on a whim. After my first class I’m hooked! Friendly and... knowledgeable staff. Felt covid safe. Overall great environment. Excited to return!read more
Mary K.
Knowledgeable and caring instructors, safety protocols that protect everyone and sense of a community/family that I needed in my life.
Julie C.
I LOVE Reforming Foundations! I have been a Pilates loyalist for many years and the professional yet friendly atmosphere, attention to detail and focus on health and wellness at RF is second to... none! Of particular note is the quick transition to virtual classes at the start of COVID Stay At Home orders - I was not a mat Pilates convert until now having spent now more than 2 months in virtual Reforming Foundations classes, they are innovative and varied, always with a focus on keeping us strong, pain free and healthy. On a personal note, I purchased a pair of jeans at the start of Stay At Home orders, they took around a month to arrive and of course by the time they arrived they were slightly snug (too much comfort food and vino!). More than 8 weeks have gone by and I have been enjoying at least 4 virtual Pilates sessions per week and I’m very pleased to report that the jeans actually fit comfortably! Thank you Brooke and your incredible team for keeping the classes interesting and dynamic and helping keep me motivated!read more

Great instructors! The workouts are amazing not only for your core, but as a full body workout. Infrared is the best!

I signed up for an infrared plated class with Brooke and enjoyed it! Thank you Brooke, you are awesome! As a first time visit, it was a pleasant, welcoming, friendly vibe experience! Thank you and I... will be back soon!read more
Joseph M.
I do at least three sessions a week and I love it! Brooke the owner and all of the teachers, Angela, Yvette, etc. are awesome!
Mark W.
The health and wellness mission of Reforming Foundations is what attracted me to this Pilates Studio. I was amazed at how quickly the team got to know me, my body and my goals. The results in 12... short weeks have been nothing short of transformational for my health, core, stamina and strength. I am so appreciative of their process, attention to detail and focus on total health.read more
Linda T.
From the moment I entered the studio when I purchased the new client package, to the time my first session ended; I felt very comfortable and extremely welcomed. The staff, the fellow clients and... Brooke, who was kind enough to shake my hand on her way to servicing a client, we are wonderfully warm. I would highly recommend Reforming Foundations to anyone who wants to improve their health and wellness.read more
Romuald L.
Reforming Foundations grabbed my attention right away because Brooke was able to resolve in only two sessions a shoulder injury I had been living with for several months. On top of that, every... instructor I've had the pleasure of working with since then have given me great workouts, improved my form, and helped with other minor occupational and natural injuries that have occurred over 9 months I've been coming here.read more
Aaron G.
Rychee teaches with skill. She is a stickler for form and sees how we move and makes sure that we know how to do the movement correctly. Always a challenging class!
Rom L.
The class was fantastic! The workout was challenging and I felt great at the end. Super studio vibe and Brooke is the best instructor I've ever worked with. Looking forward to my next session at RF.
Karen U.
Amazing staff. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.
ned H.
I love this place as a supplement to my workout routine! Small group classes help me focus on improved form, range and movement in all my exercises - helps me be much more aware of proper form. (They... do offer multiple services, I've just used group classes.) I've been in class with most of the instructors and all are very good attentive and helpful and happy to have you there. I highly recommend them!read more
Linda F.
Beautiful studio, but mostly I love the people. Everyone is friendly, the instructors are amazing and it’s a fun, great work out.
Alyssa B.
After suffering from chronic back pain for ~10 years and with the recommendation from my physical therapist, I decided to try Pilates. I have been going to Reforming Foundations for over 2 years and... it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. Everyone at RFP is so welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. I currently feel better than I have in a long time and can’t thank the team at RFP enough ☺️read more
Mary H.
I love this studio and the classes, and the instructors are great. If you haven’t tried Pilates this is the studio you need to begin your journey. One class you will be hooked. Everyone is very... professional and they take the time to show you the right way to perform a move. It’s all about controlling your body to become a better you.read more
Kimberly W.
This place is incredible, it's clean and very modern! Angela was a great and left me sore for days. Excited to continue practicing here!
Mipharm G.
Pilates, and, more specifically, their personalized instruction and attention to my body, has completely changed the way I move. I am much stronger and longer and leaner than when I started and this... has become the foundation of my exercise. The instructors are terrific. Brooke is incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics. Highly recommend!!read more
Emmy K.
If you are looking to strengthen, tone, and care for your body, this is the place to go! The owner Brooke is kind and knowledgeable about every body type and physical disability. I have had two... spinal fusions and never thought I would be able do work out in the same way I did pre-surgery. All of the instructors are incredible and I highly recommend them for anyone and all body types. They are constantly adding classes based around client needs so come join a class! Your body will thank you!read more
Chad S.
Had my first session on saturday with Veronica and absolutely loved it! Great atmosphere and great way to get moving. I am definitely coming back!
Stacey B.
I have been training at Reforming Foundations for over a year and as someone who has done Pilates for 16 years, they are hands down the BEST! You will not find another studio that treats you like... family the way that Brooke and her staff do. The studio is beautiful and the owner and instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, kind, caring and push you to achieve your goals whether your a stay at mom like myself or a professional athlete. Every client is treated with the utmost respect and each session is tailor made to meet your needs. I have worked out at just about every Pilates studio in the area, and I will never go anywhere but Reforming Foundations! I absolutely LOVE RFpilates and am a client for life! In just over a year, I have lost 30 pounds, completely transformed my body, eliminated my back and shoulder pain and have never felt better or stronger. Thank you Brooke and everyone at RF Pilates!read more
Stephanie W.
I have been coming here for a few months and absolutely love it. The classes are fun and challenging but more importantly teach you proper form and body mechanics. All of the staff are very friendly,... always greeting you and available for any questions. I highly recommend the studio for all levels.read more
John C.
I've been a valued client of this business for over 3 years, joining when it was just Brooke holding private and small group sessions in the old violin shop. I have been honored to be part of the... growth of the business and the expansion of the studio and staff. This success and growth can only come from one thing...offering a quality experience for a good value. Yes, even high performing professional athletes have discovered this little gem in the heart of quaint little Berkley. Brooke and her staff work hard to create a personalized experience just for your needs and if I have a concern it has always been addressed quickly and completely and I know the owner and staff bend over backwards for their clients. Heck..im sure after a few mobility classes maybe you could even learn to bend over backwards too !! 🙂read more
Terri B.
I love Tiffany's kick butt TRX classes! I get a great cardio workout while strengthening my core and whole body. After a few classes, I can see and feel the results. The TRX class is a great... counterpart to traditional pilates mat classes to lengthen and tone. As someone with back issues, I appreciate the way Tiffany watches/corrects my form and keeps me safe.read more
Maria T.
I have always wanted to try Pilates...and when Reforming Foundations open I was so excited! Tiffany (who is awesome) taught me proper technique with one on one classes and i was ready to jump... in....Love reformer!!!! I have had back and hip problems and went to physical therapy to help build my core...Nothing has even come close to what Pilates has done in 3 months. Thank you Brooke and Reforming Foundations!!read more
Mike M.
Had a great men reformer class tonight ...Brooke put together a great series of exercises.
Dr. Daniel J.
As a chiropractor, I am always looking for places I can refer my patients where they can get great advice and help in a caring environment, with a focus on exercise that supports spinal health. ... Brooke is exceptional. Her level of understanding of body mechanics, injury and her attention to detail make her my go to referral for patients who need to exercise, but need special modifications based on their unique circumstances.read more
bonita B.
I have been working with Brooke for the past nine months in both private and group sessions. Prior to this I sought help from a long list of medical professionals. No one came close to helping me... overcome my physical issues and limitations as Brooke has.Her vast knowledge, her ability to listen and tune in to my individual needs, her strength of character and integrity are remarkable. She is a pleasure to know. I am so grateful for all of her help.Bonnieread more
Alicia H.
This is a wonderful studio! The instructors are very knowledgeable and very friendly. They are great at helping you along if you're struggling to figure out a move and especially great at making... sure you have the move down correctly. Brooke the owner is super friendly and wants you to succeed! I started classes here when I was newly pregnant and thought I would have to quit as my pregnancy progressed because a prenatal class was not on the docket. Because Brooke really does care about her clients, she found a way to work with me so that I can continue on with Pilates through my pregnancy. I'm really happy with my experience here and feel comfortable as a client here. In the past I wasn't always comfortable or excited for classes at other studios I've taken Pilates classes at. At some of the other studios I felt like the odd man out or like I wasn't as experienced as other members. Reforming foundations definitely has a welcoming atmosphere and actually makes you WANT to go to class and work out. Which is saying a lot coming from a pregnant lady who doesn't always have a ton of energy. 🙂 If you're looking for a studio or interested in trying out Pilates this is definitely the place to go.read more

I really enjoyed the class I took here, I will definitely be back! My instructor was informative and able to work around my physical limitations.
