Established in 2010.

When Brandi Marino, a.k.a. The Assassin, and Bethany Meyers, a.k.a. The Accomplice, joined forces in Spring 2010, BEYOND was born. They combined their passions and experience to develop a fiercely independent, highly imaginative, determined-​to-​the-​core concept focused on empowering and inspiring people to make changes beyond their wildest expectations.

It’s what makes us different.

I have taken advantage of their 2classes/​$ 25 for first times. It’s probably one of the best workouts I’ve had all year. I will be back for more. First time to Pilates? No worries, so was I and I left sore in places I didn’t imagine I could be but it felt great. It’s a lot to do with slow controlled balancing motions. Working at your own pace! Don’t be shy the environment is small quaint and two different instructors (both pregnant, must be in the water, lol) I’ve had were sweet and helpful! I did however notice I was the heavier set gal in the class so maybe these ladies have got the secret and I’m late on the memo. I’ll be back, thanks Beyond!

Do yourself a favor and schedule one of Beccas classes. She brings it every time! Great music and she must get b-​12 shots or something because her energy is always on fire!
Studio is always clean and I love small businesses where the owner is available and teaches/​interacts with the customers.

I’ve been trying out different pilates studios around Dallas and finally made it to this one. The studio space is pretty small with the reformers all staggered pretty close together. The reformers do not have the tower component, but are otherwise the standard reformer that I am accustomed too. These classes are more fast-​paced than the Body Bar classes, for example. But they are not too fast to where you find yourself getting lost or behind if you are newer to pilates. Some of the instructors are not as hands on as I would like for them to be, but that is understandable since the classes are usually pretty full and we are packed in there. Overall, I enjoy coming here and the workout that I get. I also love the fact that when you buy classes through Beyond you are able to take advantage of all of their studios. It’s great! I will definitely continue to go to this studio.

Love Brandi and her brilliant Beyond franchise! Each studio offers unique classes, energetic teachers and an intense workout. I try to jump around and practice with all the different teachers because each offers a unique workout. I moved here four years ago and the Beyond teachers became my immediate friends and family. Don’t be shy! Walk up to your instructor and introduce yourself so they know if you’re new or coming off an injury; and more importantly if you’re preggo– I worked out here up until my 35th week of pregnancy with awesome modifications by Kendall, Brandi and Kristin Moses! These teachers see a lot of new faces but make it a point to remember the «regulars» which I love. I read a review about the Lover’s studio being an HP hangout and I have to disagree. As an outsider (Lake Highlands resident) I can say that the clientele and teachers are very inclusive. It just takes a few classes for the teachers to remember their new students. But once you’re a Beyond student, you’re family for life!

This place is amazing! It’s incredibly challenging, but the instructors and music help make this butt-​kicking workout fun. I also highly recommend checking out a class with Brittany and/​or Adria. While all the instructors are good, these two ladies are my favorites. They are funny, sweet and motivating.

I loooove Pilates! This studio was no exception! Brittany was an energetic instructor, it was a challenging class and I left feeling great. I will say I have a lot of experience with reformers, so I was able to follow the cues and do the exercises with correct form. If you have never done a reformer before you will struggle, so make sure to let the instructor know. Teachers can’t help you unless you let them know you need help!
The only thing I didn’t love was that the studio didn’t open until 10 minutes before class. I came straight from work so I got there 20 minutes early and had to browse the overpriced boutique next door (which in my case is probably good it was overpriced, I’m kind of a shopping addict). The location was kind of confusing for me, but I also don’t spend much time on Lovers so the way the roads and parking lots worked was all new to me.

Workouts, facility, and instructors are all wonderful! Classes are always a bit different and very challenging but also easy to follow. Instructors explain everything well and are very attentive during class. I have also found the customer service to be top notch. I asked about a song that I liked once and before I was home Adria had emailed me a link with the song download. I emailed another time for info on bringing a friend and the owner Brandi called me personally a few minutes later and was so very nice and helpful! Truly worth every penny!

UPDATED REVIEW 11⁄4:
The instructors at this location are extremely pretentious. She didn’t introduce herself, and I had never taken a class from her before. For all she knew, this could have been my first time in the studio. I am glad it wasn’t because I would have been very lost. I felt like I was interrupting a «Highland Parker’s Only» club. The instructor only talked with, adjusted, coached and called out women who clearly go to this studio everyday. She never looked my way, asked my name, coached me or thanked me for coming — It’s as if I was being deliberately ignored.
If Beyond’s reason for participating in ClassPass is to gain more members, they are failing miserably at making non-​beyond-​members feel welcome and enticing them to join. My experience explained above is not the first time (see old review below) I have felt like an «outsider» here (not so much the Preston Hollow or Henderson).
For the record, I attended the 8:30a class on 11⁄4. If you care at all about how your instructors are treated your clients, you’ll check your records and see who was teaching it — not going to call her out on Unilocal.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I love the Beyond studio group, but this location is my least favorite. Maybe because the clientele it attracts due to its location isn’t my crowd (highland park — beautiful, but snooty).
The instructor, Kendall, wasn’t super hands on. She just did a lot of walking around and counting. She also had us all working with lots of red and blue springs combined, which I had a hard time with. Myself and several other participants kept having to start and stop to adjust the resistance to a more intermediate level (red and yellow, for instance). Note, it wasn’t specified that it was an advanced class. I’ll give her the benefit of doubt and say she just had a lot of faith in us. :)
I would go back, but would try to get a different instructor. Overall it was a good workout.

Update! l love the thumping music! I do Bikram Yoga 7 days a week so this was a needed change…
The instructor was friendly & helpful but with the length of the class the workout felt rushed. That could be because I’m used to 90 mins of Bikram. There was no stretching or warm up so be ready lol.
It was my first time on a Pilates machine. I felt like a kid on monkey bars & really thought I was going to fall during the lower body series. The exercises were nothing special & I feel I could do each at home or gym with a workout ball & resistance band, etc. I enjoyed the ab ring though!
I have attended Bar Method, Pure Barre, Vinyasa Hot Yoga & Bikram continues to hit the sweet spot for me.
In this class the constant bending & adjusting the bar was annoying & my lower back was getting aggravated. The upper body work out was my favorite & I felt pretty fatigue for about an hour after which is a good thing. My grippy socks did not make me feel secure sliding the bench… I felt off balance. I saw other students struggling as well… not just newbies like me.
I don’t know if I’ll be going back as I truly don’t see the reason… once you attend a Pilates remix class you’ll see you can do these exercises on your own or at the gym for far less $$$ & at your own pace or not…

This place is for people in phenomenal shape or an ability to modify exercises very quickly after deciphering the instructions of the moment. The workout happens to be on a reformer (which was developed by Joseph Pilates), but it is not Pilates. In the workout world of Dallas, Beyond Pilates is similar to BodyBar.
The class moves quickly, but is hard to follow. The music is loud. The instructor tries to talk over the music — sometimes it works, other times not. I found myself having to look up a lot, searching for the instructor (who was always moving throughout the room), and then figuring out what I was supposed to be doing. I also found myself cringing every time the countdown got to «three» — somehow that was the word that screeched best above the music. Some of the music was upbeat and motivating. The song with the N-​word repeated throughout was just offensive.
The class assumes you have no physical limitations and moves too quickly for the instructor to provide modifications. For example, the instructor suggested doing some exercises on either a yellow spring (light) or no springs. With my joint issues, most of the workout was pure agony on my knees (but I’ll edit this review if my next class has a different format that’s not so knee-​antagonistic). I had to modify a ton, but gave up figuring out modifications more than once. In fairness, the instructor was very kind about my constant modifications.
For those who are interested in going, but need some modifications, yellow spring = light, blue springs = medium, and red spring = heavy. More/​heavier springs avoids flying out of control (side splits, planks), while fewer/​lighter springs avoids moving so much weight (hug a tree, pulling straps). Humorously, the instructor provided modifications to make upper body exercises easier, but that was not my need.
The class also moves too quickly and has too many students for the instructor to ensure that everyone is using good form. There were a number of movements that I slowed down to ensure that I did them without hurting myself. This wouldn’t be the best class for people who tend to injure themselves due to poor alignment or a lack of body awareness.
The studio is clean and attractive. It’s a smaller space than the Beyond that was a few doors down and used Megaformers. Check-​in is a breeze on an iPad at the door. The platform in back makes it easier to see the instructor’s movements. Parking is relatively easy, although driving around that section of Lovers Lane is a pain.

O.M.G. EVERYTHING HURTS!
I bought a first time class here months ago, but after reading the reviews decided to wait until I was in better shape to go since I was just starting to work out again after recovering from an injury. I’m really glad I waited, because I think you probably need to be in decent shape before doing most of the classes because they are not easy. That said, the classes here are absolutely amazing.
First, the studios are beautiful and just a really pleasant place to be with lots of natural light coming in during daytime hours.
I have done both the Pilates Remix on the reformer at the Lovers location and the Beyond 500 class at the Henderson location and both are incredible workouts. I had never done a class on the reformer before this, but I let Brittany know I was a newbie and she was extremely helpful. Mallory was also super helpful for my second class. The reformer can be a bit intimidating and while I’m still a hot mess with the straps, I’m gradually getting the hang of it. Lots of trembling muscles up in here while doing this workout.
The Beyond 500 workout is also a butt kicker — you go from treadmill, to pilates chair, to kettlebell stations. It really is a full body workout.
I love that they have high energy music playing during the workouts and the instructors keep you motivated even when you think you’re about to die or fall off the machine (or both).
I am always sore after these classes, even though I work out 4 – 5 times a week otherwise. I love this place!

I am a lifetime member here. I incorporate pilates into my workout routine at least 3 times per week– and I don’t know that I have a favorite instructor. THEY ALL ROCK. I am in LOVE with what Brandi has done here– and at the Forest Location. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Thank you for bringing such talented instructors who are passionate about what they do, and giving us an outlet to shop and stay in tip top shape– AND always pushing us. YALL ROCK.

If you are in perfect shape, and need to challenge yourself, this is the place to go. If not, I would think twice. The class is pretty hard and moves very fast. Granted, I take yoga a couple of times a week, mixed with spin class, I wouldn’t say I am in «ideal» shape, but I can usually keep up. Generally, everyone in the classes I have taken at Beyond already has a perfect body and high level of fitness– there is nobody there to relate to if you aren’t at that level. During the classes it is uncomfortable to take a rest, get water, or just figure out what you are supposed to be doing as the room is small and you feel conspicuous. I have no doubt that if you can make it through this class and do it regularly, you will be in great shape. That is, if you can survive through a really tough workout while not really knowing what you are doing and feeling out of place. The three stars are because either a slower pace class should be added to their schedule (as a lot of fitness classes in Dallas have a Level 1 or Beginner option) or the general classes should be more friendly to those of lower fitness levels who really want to be fit too but just need a little bit more guidance. I did not feel comfortable there and I will not be going back.

Love the reformer class. It’s challenging and fun. The music puts you in the mood and my favorite instructor is Adria Alcazar! She’s a rock star. She makes working out a joy.

BEYOND studios is now a weekly workout that I cannot miss. The Preston/​Forest location is very laid back. It is a motivating atmosphere without being intimidating. The teachers are knowledgeable, encouraging, and will get you results! They play upbeat music to keep you going and the classes start and stop on-​time, which is much appreciated by this working woman. If you think pilates is for old ladies laying on mats… you’ve got another thing coming to you! The reformer machines help you increase strength and flexibility while still getting your cardio in with HIIT workouts on the mini-​tramps. It’s a FULL BODY BUSTER!

I absolutely love Beyond Pilates! I am new to area and just moved to Dallas from New York. I saw the great reviews of the studio and decided to give it a try. My first class was with Brittany and she is simply the BEST!!! She was very patient and friendly and overall even though I was a beginner, her class was not too over whelming. I was hooked after that class and have been going back daily since. I am definitely sore but, I feel great! Beyond definitely get you toned and I would highly recommend this studio.

Amazing pilates studio! I enjoy every class I take here, the teachers are all different in their styles and no class is ever the same. On top of traditional reformer classes they also have barre class, Piloxing and stretching classes. I prefer Brandi and Vicki’s classes!

Love Beyond Pilates! I’ve been doing this workout 2 times a week for a little over a year and am so much stronger than I was when I started. My husband comments that he can tell I’m more toned and fit… and my friends are like, «Wow, you’re strong.» Yeah, I am! (But not strong in a He-​Man kind of way.)
This workout combines core work, strength and balance. Also they offer something called Piloxing which is a combo of Pilates and Boxing. Great cardio and fun!
Anyway, the Beyond Ladies are opening up a Beyond Pedaling Studio down the street at Snider Plaza in the next few weeks and I can’t wait. Just what I need to knock off my holiday pounds and then some!

I wanted to switch up my workout some and a friend had suggested pilates. All of the instructors I have had are awesome, so nice and so motivating. I didn’t know I could be sore in certain places! The classes tend to be all mostly girls, but I have had at least one guy in most of the classes I have attended. The first class was VERY hard since I had never done it, but Brandi, the owner, helped me so much and made sure my form was correct and I uderstood what I was doing. I’m addicted to beyond pilates… best addiction ever.

I’ve been going to Beyond Pilates for over a year now, so this review is long overdue! First off, the studio is modern, beautiful and clean. You can schedule classes online, and they do fill up, so try and plan ahead. While I like the pilates classes, my favorites are the more cardio-​heavy classes, like barre and piloxing, which is a new addition. The music is always pumping and the instructors, Bethany and Brandi, in particular, have an infectious energy that make the hour fly by. They also keep the classes small to allow for personal attention. I’ve discovered muscles I never knew existed, and for the first time in my life, I look forward to working out. Try it, you’ll be sore, but you’ll be glad you did it!

Considering my ballet and gymnastics past, I assumed I would be okay at ‘the bar’ infused Pilates. ‘The Bar’ meaning the ballet bar. I tried the treadmill and I tried yoga. I was too A.D.D. and bored to last in both of these exercise capacities. Beyond Pilates is just what I needed — an intense workout that is constantly changing at a pretty rapid pace while fun music blasts throughout the room. I am not an intense person, but I might be an energetic person so I prefer something upbeat. On the same token, I am a laid back person. I thought I would like yoga. I don’t know about you, remaining static in a painful pose while someone lightly tells me to ‘connect my legs to the earth’ and to ‘feel you strength’ is not my cup of tea. All I can feel is my leg muscles shivering and going into spasm. I say this in admiration for people that are successful at and enjoy yoga. I envy you.
Moving on… Beyond Pilates was so fun and made me want to break out into a ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’ dance-​off. It was my first visit and they couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. They walked me through each step from their different kind of socks to their complex equipment. The workout is difficult and engages all your muscles at once, but it is fun and it makes you sweat!

Unlike any pilates studio I have ever been to! The reformers they use are amazing and the instructors are great! This is way harder than traditional pilates and more fun since they combine your workout with strength and cardio (to an extent) while you listen to fun music! I was hesitant to write a review because word is getting out and it’s getting harder to get a spot for class but something this good shouldn’t be kept a secret…

I can barely write this review because every muscle in my body is weak and shaking. I’m not kidding. I could barely walk out the door of the place. I looked drunk climbing the stairs to my apartment. My legs are shaking too much to walk in a straight line.
Am I massively out of shape? Yes. Will I be in shape in record time if I keep going to Beyond Pilates classes? Yes. Will I also be begging for change on a street corner? Yes. But I will be one damn fit hobo.
