Rise Pilates is fantastic. I have been going to Rise Pilates for a few months now, and Donna has created such a great space.

Highly recommend Donna's mat pilates class at Rise and have also enjoyed Jill's reformer class! Beautiful new studio.

Love this new space in Wayne!! It is welcoming, clean and bright! Donna is a tremendous Pilates instructor who keeps you motivated while guiding you through every move with precision and care. The Matt class uses props like balls and ankle weights (my new fave) to promote resistance and deepen/enhance the workout. 5 out of 5!!!

Beautiful new studio with the best Pilates instructor around! Donna!
