I’ve taken Pilates in every local studio and I cannot begin to express how special this place is.

Melissa has a wonderful studio and is a great teacher. Fun, welcoming, challenging but doable! So happy to have a strong local option for barre and Pilates! Thank you!

Melissa is motivating and her classes are never boring. Not only is the instructor wonderful, the community is as well. You will not regret taking a class at R|R!

…I’ve just kept going back! I am now 40 classes in, no I don’t think I’ll ever feel like my old self again, I’m really starting to like this new version of me. Melissa says she’s not for everyone… And this is true. She’s for those of us who are willing to put in the work to find ourselves again.

I absolutely love this Pilates studio! The atmosphere feels calm and welcoming — the perfect escape from the busyness of everyday life. Melissa is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly attentive, making sure each movement is done safely and effectively. Her guidance helps you get the most out of every session, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. What I appreciat…
