Douglas is an amazing instructor with a passion for Pilates. This was my first time ever doing Pilates. I did a duet class with a friend and he gave us such a personalized experience. Definitely going to go again! Thanks Doug!

Zoeli is absolutely the best classical pilates studios in Ft Lauderdale. I've been doing pilates for over 20 years and hands down, the classical instructors, Gratz equipment , and the clean, well maintained studio do not exist in the other Ft Lauderdale studios. I take both private and class sessions. Amanda and all the instructors are top notch.

If I could give it zero I would. I've taken Pilates for 10 years innLA and just moved to FL so wanted to try this out especially with the reviews. But take it from me if you've ever done Pilates anywhere else especially in a big city like LA NY or SF, don't waste your time or money.
Actually the worst class I've ever taken. This should definitely not be an advanced class, more like intro to Pilates if you can even call it pilates. Their machines were sooo old that they didn't have enough resistance and they use leather straps with wooden handles which physically hurt. The instructor tried but I think he was used to an older demographic so he would only have us do 5 reps max of exercises. He also kept having me curve when I know for a fact certain exercises strain the back curved. I wanted to walk out after 10 minutes but didn't want to be rude although now I wasted an hour and didn't break a sweat. Just with the equipment being so old it felt unsafe and not a good class. Hope this helps other people who may be considering this.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Leila R.Brooklyn, NY0586Apr 2, 2021
Pilates teacher vacationing in Fort Lauderdale. Wish I could have taken more classes at this studio during my stay. I had a private with Gina, she was incredible with so much Pilates knowledge. Highly recommend this studio. Variety of machines. Location is so close to the beach too, short drive. Very convenient.

I highly recommend this studio if you are a beginner to pilates and barre like I was. I enjoyed most classes and usually felt that I was given the extra help I needed as a beginner, either by the teacher or by nice regulars. Though it is a small studio, the classes are typically small as well, 10-12 people max is what I experienced. Cindy Grossman is AMAZING and she teaches cardio ballet fusion (similar to barre). She is so down to earth and you can tell she really cares about each of her students. I can't say enough good things about her - she is the best and will have you leaving feeling physically and emotionally refreshed!! For the pilates classes, I liked Amanda because she kept the classes interesting by mixing in new moves on the machines that I had never tried. The one downside is that because I work during the day I was a bit limited for class choices and variety.

I was traveling and did 3 workouts at this studio. I worked out with both Ela and Dylan. They were both excellent trainers ! They know how to challenge you and get to work right away. Sometimes you work out with someone new and it takes a little time for them to understand your abilities but they were both highly knowledgeable and I will definitely come back the next time I come visit family. Bravo to this amazing studio and gem of a find !

This place is really cute, right on las Olas. It's a small open studio with machines and a couple mats. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners... but it seems like a cool thing to try for more experienced Pilate go-ers. I had Alexandra as my teacher and she was really tough. If you can handle it, give her class a shot! I was sore for days. They also have a tiny section in front with socks, yoga pants, and tops. It was hard to not browse on my way out lol

This place is life changing. The classes are small and focused; on your own speed. All of the teachers are wonderful, nice and so knowledgeable. I have taken group and private lessons. I absolutely love it here!
I had recovering arm, leg and stomach, from a car accident. I found that all of the instructors modified and showed awesome exercises for my body; they all have an apparent great knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. Number one spot to get a sweat on!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Alyssa L.Mount Hope, KS36631May 5, 2018
I wish it was possible to give this place zero stars. We went to Zoeli for a bachelorette party and it was most of our first time taking this type of Pilates class. Gina was an abusive instructor. Not only did she criticize our technique rather than helping to improve it, but she physically violated some of us, pulling on our ponytails and aggressively pushing our legs down. I feel personally victimized by Gina and would not recommend taking a class here, particularly if you have her as an instructor.

Love my Pilates classes at Zoeli! Recently got back to Pilates after knee surgery. Gina is a great instructor-- she is attentive, inspiring and gives great direction and options to get the most out of a workout, even with the adjustments. Grateful that there are early morning (6:00AM) classes so I can get my workout in on busy days!
