Pilates Will:

Improve your physique:

Pilates creates better posture so one can stand taller and look more fit. Pilates activates the deep abdominal muscles and promotes a flat stomach. Pilates Reformer exercises lift ‘burn’ and create the lean ‘toned’ look.

Step up your sports performance

Pilates training activates the smaller stabilizing muscles. Reformer Pilates strengthens the supporting muscles around the join in correct movement patterns. Your larger muscles will be able to handle a heavier load, because the smaller muscles will help support & stabilize your joints.

Heal and prevent injuries

Pilates is excellent rehabilitation for your body– perfect when addressing spine, neck, shoulder, hip, knee & repetitive stress injuries. The Pilates principle of core stabilization addresses posture, muscle performance & motor control, the same concepts that form the basis of most orthopedic rehabilitation & injury prevention.

After a long flight from East Coast and a day of sitting in a conference, I really needed Pilates. Glad I found Downtown Pilates and Silvia. She was great!
I booked a class at 7 pm, but ended up having a one on one. Silvia’s a great coach and motivator. And the session was different (I’ve been practicing for about five years). She recommends more resistance, and I loved it. Felt like I had really worked out AND stretched out.
Silvia’s a pro who challenges you, but seeks lots of feedback and makes it fun. She gets my highest rating!

I am so glad this place has opened. It is very convenient for all that live or work in the East Village, Gaslamp or any part of downtown.
Sara is super patient and I have seen her work equally well with the very fit and the very unfit!
The space is clean, well lit and very comfortable. I love that they offer classes early in the morning.

I never thought I would write a review extolling the virtues of Pilates. Being more into weight training and crossfit I figured I’d never really get into Pilates and frankly deep inside I know that I hate stretching and touching my toes can be torture.
Then life got me. I’ve been having to travel a ton for work, and I have a hip injury. That with my early onset arthritis put me into a terrible fitness rut. Ok, all that with the fact that I’m naturally lazy and a creative excuse maker.
Sara was recommended to me by my good friend (someone puts up with me in real life!) and so I limped my broken body and spirit down to her studio.
I always imagine Pilates and yoga folk to be sorta cliquey. Would I not have the right sports bra? Would my inability to touch my toes create snickers of judgement?
I shouldn’t have worried. I felt really comfortable and had a great time. Even when I was working hard. Sara knows her stuff and my hip felt so much better!!! My abs and other jigglies were sore the next two days and honestly it felt great.
I signed up for her 10 pack of classes. I like that I can go what day I choose to because of my travel and I also like that it is helping build strength along with flexibility.
I don’t doubt once I get my hip back in order that I will go back to crossfit. I will also continue to come here. It feels amazing to stretch and fine tune. It helps that it’s such a cool supporting environment. It’s nice to finally be excited to work out!

Addicting! I’ve taken Pilates before, but never a class on the reformer. After one class I was sore in places I don’t remember being that sore ever before! It was very good at hitting the target spots I need (inner thighs and all over abs). I did the mat class today and that was the best mat class I’ve ever taken. They also have very reasonable prices and both instructors, Silvia and Sara, are a couple of pretty amazing ladies who just love fitness! Their enthusiasm really gets you into it. The studio is located inside a crossfit gym, which can be pretty intimidating (and smelly), but if you just enter thru the side entrance on G St (red gate) and take a quick left up the stairs, you can avoid that!

My normal workout consists of free weights about 3x per week. I’m not a serious lifter by any means, but I squat.. .
I’d previously met Sylvia at my usual gym and learned she and Sara were opening this Pilates studio and decided to give it a shot. Within 30 minutes, my body was quivering as my underdeveloped core muscles and asymmetrical extremities were burning. Pilates is like a combination of the stretching/​core strength from yoga combined with a lot of body weight lifting.
In short: I slept like a baby almost as soon as I got home! Thanks Sara!

I’m very excited for this space to finally be open!!! Sara is extremely knowledgable, friendly and personable. I always feel at ease when I’m in her presence. She really knows her stuff when it comes to Pilates and personal training. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to give her new space a shot. It’s amazing, just like her!

Being a power lifter for over 20 years have always resisted Pilates thinking it was for the weak, boy was I wrong!
My Trainer who burst my cherry into Pilates was Sara Krencicki, little did I know she was the owner as well…
So, started on this machine called a «reformer» aka torture table with ropes and slides. I never realized how one apparatus could do so much for your core, flexibility and strength… long story short, wonderful machine when instructed properly.
I am recommending this studio to anyone who wants to start into this torture or already a seasoned Pilate expert…
I’ll be back fro sure, once I can feel my legs again,

Silvia is amazing! From reformer pilates to springboard, and her pilates circuit class, I always leave thinking «that was a great workout!» All of her classes are creative and just the right level of challenging. Silvia has a true passion for fitness and is always bringing fresh ideas to the studio. She is very welcoming to new students of all levels, and dedicated to her long-​time clients. And there’s a great Groupon deal right now for classes! The new studio has lots of room and natural light — check it out!

I took personal fitness training and pilates with Sara during the two years I lived in San Diego for a M.A. degree. She has a great ability to work with you at your own pace while still pushing you to improve your capacities. Pilates with Sara was fundamental to developing the strength and flexibility needed to feel at ease with your body, more confident, and lower your stress levels. I highly recommend training with Sara if you are looking for someone that is not only very knowledgable in her area of expertise but also is also a caring thoughtful professional looking out for the best interests of her clients.

I took a class last night with Sara and it was such a great experience! I love pilates but am still learning intermediate exercises. Sara gave me personalized attention and helped to adjust me when I was out of alignment. You can tell she is an EXPERT in anatomy, unlike many instructors I’ve experienced. Her class was challenging and fun! I will definitely come back!

Last day of vacation and I really needed to get in my Pilates fix. I was staying right across and checked the reviews. With only 1 review I was a little worried about what I was waking into.
Turns out this place was great. Sara instructed me and really went at my pace. I learned some key new exercises that I’ll definitely use on my own.
Only negative is parking but highly recommended

Let me start off by saying that pilates is not my thing, but it’s really hard not to like something that is clearly so good for your body! I saw Sara when I was 22 weeks pregnant so I was looking for low impact ways to keep my body in tact that would prepare me for childbirth. And pilates with Sara was the perfect fit. Although I work out regularly at bootcamp, the exercises I do with Sara are completely different and work different parts of my body. Literally, as I am working out, I can tell that every move I am doing is good for my body. Although Sara makes the moves look easy, it’s an illusion! Even the smallest of movements get my heart rate up.
Also, Sara is always welcoming and plays good music while your training. The whole time she watches your movements and gives you feedback on how you are doing.
And lastly, the prices are reasonable! Cheaper than you will pay for personal training at a gym. And a much more relaxed atmosphere.
I highly recommended Sara for pilate-​buffs of all levels, including expecting mothers like myself!
