Review from claire s.

The pilates and gyro teachers at this studio (formerly Green Street Studio on Green St in Central Square) are inspired and deeply knowledgeable. After a serious spinal injury I started taking Martha Mason's mat classes because it was clear she knew how to modify moves so I could regain strength without injury. Now, 8 years later, I'm so much stronger I'm a walking testimonial (and also 2 inches taller not to get competitive, Anne G!). My spine surgeon was amazed. Yesterday's mat class refreshed my understanding of the difference between real pilates instruction & the sort one can often find in gyms these days: a new participant joined in who was recovering from a shoulder injury. Martha asked a number of salient questions, and then, on the spot, modified our routine so that both the new person and anyone who just wanted a good workout could benefit and enjoy. We left feeling terrific (which is always the case for me, even when I drag myself there). And I was reminded how fortunate that I found this kind of teaching.

I love the classes with Sarah! (Matt classes and Reformer). Other than that I did not like Paula's classes so much, but could be that I am still too much of a beginner for those, so I decided to switch for the more advanced classes to a different studio.

Believe the hype....Pilates really does change your body and the instructors at Upward Spiral are the best. In the two+ years I have been working with these instructors, I have grown an inch and have developed muscle tone and strength that cardio workouts never produced for me. The studio is a gorgeous light-filled space with lots of equipment and space for numerous classes to be conducted at once. There are regularly scheduled matt classes and you can schedule reformer sessions with groups fairly easily. I have worked with Paula Spina and her passion for her work is endless. Her bubbly personality and caring spirit keeps me coming back week after week. If you have ever had an interest in trying out Pilates, go to Upward Spiral Studio.....you'll get hooked!
