This Pilate's studio rocks!
I have know Sarah for a while on a business to business level. I have always been impressed with her and her passion about her business. This girl knows her Pilate's and cares about her clients. This is why I was so excited when I got to visit her studio personally on my last business trip. The location is nice. It is a homey studio with a beautiful environment that is very comfortable. The workouts are customized to fit the clients need. The individual rooms make for a private feel. The training is top notch! Pilate's in general is not easy but its an amazing work out! I was so sore the day after but man did it feel good! I would highly recommend visiting Sara and letting her work you into shape! -

I've been having Sarah Shipp train me for years now.
First, let me tell you how I was introduced, it was a completely objective recommendation from an elite athlete. I was trying to come back from an injury and compete in the Boston Marathon. The woman who was coaching me at the time has an Olympic Gold Medal (!) and had been recruited by the USOC to move back to Colorado and coach for the US Olympic Team. I was completely freaked out, how was I going to replace this coach? The gold medal winner recommended...Sarah Shipp.
Sarah has been a great trainer. She is incredibly detailed and will make micro-adjustments to my form that no one ever noticed. The workouts are varied, so I am always challenged in a new way. The studio is comfortable and fun, and the equipment is brand new and well maintained. Sarah has a network of other trainers, too, that are very good.
Sarah is always upbeat and a lot of fun to be around.
I realize that I am a very competitive athlete, but Sarah is great with people with all different goals and skill levels. I've sent a former mayor of San Jose to Sarah, and he has brought his wife and daughter and they are all enthusiastic clients. I've recommended others who use Pilates as a complement to other activities (running, yoga, weight lifting). Every single person I've referred to Sarah, without exception, has said that they have got a lot out of classes with her, always felt challenged but not threatened by the customized workouts they have done with Sarah, and most have become long-term clients.
Oh, and by the way, I did run in the Boston Marathon, and I've kept training with Sarah for years since...
I can't recommend her highly enough. Seriously, call her and give Pilates a try! -

I totally love Sarah's studio!! After a ski knee injury, I was bummed I couldn't do most gym workouts. I found the studio through one of my coworkers. At first, I didn't believe it but thought how bad could stretching be? Over about a year working out with Sarah, my knee totally rehab'd and I was able to get back to the gym shortly thereafter. I'm not a marathon runner or anything - just a normal person who didn't want to be in pain and just wanted to be able to walk normally again! I accredit my knee rehab to pilates and Sarah's slow and encouraging technique. Needless to say, I recommend this place to everyone. They also recently expanded so there are a ton of time options for corporate folks like me!

Went to Sarah Shipp's studio on recommendation from a friend. I've taken some Pilates classes at LA Fitness but never had tried it with all the special machines - now i really get what it's all about. Very effective for core strengthening - I've got neck and shoulder injuries and really need to build up my core to support those upper muscles. Learned a lot from Sarah... and nice to have a private room - really nice place.... exercise in style! Highly recommended.

I'm almost echoing Josh's review. My girlfriend kept raving about this place and how each client worked out in their own private room. She told me that it was tough and the competitive nature in me thought I should show her it was just girl stuff. Not only did I get worked by Sarah, but my girlfriend, (fortunately for her, unfortunately for my ego) was right. A great workout doing things I've never thought of, seen, or imagined would work. Thanks for humbling me and showing me what pilates is. Thanks!

Sarah is an awesome pilates instructor! She has definately helped me with balance, core strength and flexibility. As a chiropractor, I feel very comfortable sending my patients to her whether they are training for their next ironman or recovering from an injury. She customizes the workouts to fit your needs.

Sarah Shipp Pilates is a fantastic studio! I have been training with Sarah for about 2.5 yrs now. Sarah and Brooke both have a great way of understanding your individual needs and challenges and putting together a workout that will push you just enough.
With the help of their training I have been able to complete 3 1/2 Marathons in the last 9 months. I can't say enough positive things about these two instructors. They are fabulous! -

Sarah and Brooke are both amazing instructors! I love taking classes with both of them. My overall fitness, flexibility, and strength have improved under their varied workouts. I love that the classes are small, so they are still able to help you out individually, while still providing a fun group setting. Class is always different, so it is perfect for those that like to mix up their workout routines-I promise you that these classes will never get stale or boring. Even as you advance, both Sarah and Brooke will keep you challenged. I love pilates with Sarah and Brooke!
