Elixir Pilates & Wellness

My first class is free, so I came in to try not only Pilates, but also the studio. I’m impressed! Kelly was very nice and accommodating to all our needs, and she also pushed me a bit. My class size was 4, and it seems they cap classes at about 6 which I really like. I got personal attention but didn’t feel targeted. Prices are good, especially since nearby locations seem to be very expensive.

Calling all those who hate their bodies!
This place is super great. I dragged my sorry behind in here to work with MaryJo. At the time, I was so angry at my body that everytime I began serious workout schedule, I over did it and ended up with a sprained ankle, foot, etc. MaryJo is a trainer but also a therapist. Through her guidance, I was able to gently return to a state of peace with my body– and yes, I developed rock hard abs as well.
MaryJo is really unusual because she brings a different element to working out– one that includes your mind and your spirit. Working with her is not like working with another trainer. When you feel most frustrated and tense, she stops you and asks whats going on. She uses her clinical training to probe into the the disconnects of mind, body and spirit. She’s not just a trainer who stands there and counts 1 – 8. In addition, she can tell from my poses which parts of me are weaker than others and she adjusts our workouts to strengthen my weakest points.
I have only done private sessions with her. But I know she is opening classes on mediation and workouts. I hope to try some of those out.
I’m damn well pleased to be working out with her. If you are at your wits end with your body, this is the place to go.

Michelle is awesome. I took duos and classes from her for over a year in Austin, and was super sad when she moved to CO: (I just visited her though, and went in for a duet at Elixer, its in a great location, and is everything you could need in a Pilates Studio. Michelle has been my fav because she is super knowledgable, pays close attention to you, and corrects. I’m a hairstylist, and she has saved my body!

I discovered Elixir at the Highland’s Street fair last summer. I love the small studio factor with 4 reformers because we all get attention. Mary Jo and all the instructors can adapt any movement to fit each person fitness level. I am on a long journey back to better health and Elixir has been key to keeping me on track. The overall energy is just good and the support from fellow classmates is tremendous.
Just good fun!

I was first interested in Elixir when I noticed an add in the paper stating they had a FREE first time class on Saturdays. Seeing as I just moved into the highlands neighborhood, I was intent on finding a space to workout in the area. I have a special shoulder condition that make this a tedious task. I went to the first timer class and was very happy with my experience. Next step was to set up a few personal sessions with Mary Jo to learn how to do the excercises with attention to my condition. That done I can now sign up on-​line for any class that works for my schedule. They always offer reasonable packages and specials, I got a free 30 min massage with the first one I purchased. I am very pleased with the facility and staff, you may be too!
