RTR Pilates classes keep me coming back for more because each class is different. I really enjoy the variety. I also enjoy the feeling of being toned and standing taller. My clothes fit me better than ever before.

Every workout is different. This was my first time at Palisades and there is free parking! It's a nice bright studio. I live in an area where 4 studios (Potomac/Palisades/Chevy Chase/McLean) are all ~20-25' away so I can take advantage of that added flexibility.

The classes are terrific-challenging and fun. Also really appreciate the wide range of times and the ability to go to any RTR studio in the area.

Julie S. is a very fine instructor, who watches us all carefully. The other class members have always been attentive to her directions and friendly.

I loved my class yesterday. Fun jump-board variations which I'd never done. I loved the explanations about what each movement was doing and all the detailed attention to correct form and how very small adjustments make a big difference in how to best engage the core.

I've been doing Pilates for a little over a year. I feel so much stronger now than a year ago!

Super convenient! Friendly instructors. I use a number of the studios and love their program.

easy to start program; good instructors; notice a difference immediately; tough workout without injury; great way to start from scratch if you have fallen off the workout wagon.

The best part about RTR is the choices of locations and the number of classes per day to choose from. There are many different teachers, with different styles which is also good. I always get a hard work out and my muscles are tired for a couple days. Didn't give 5 stars for 2 reasons - one, I find it hard to hear instructions in some of the studios (teachers usually have headsets, but even with these....), and the teachers don't seem to correct/watch people's form as they seem to do in other pilates studios I've been to.

I have tried many different workouts over the years. I'm 3 months into pilates reformer at RTR and I have never felt stronger, longer and leaner in my life. I recommend it 110%!

I love Pilates and have been taking classes at RTR Pilates for almost 3 years. At age 59, I am in my best shape since I was 30. I feel very strong and very healthy.
There are many great Pilates places in DC. There are many places that may work as well as RTR Pilates, but there is no one better. The difference is in the detail. It is easy to schedule or cancel a class. It is also easy to shift from one level to another. I have learned to schedule classes each week at 4 different levels. I always make sure to take a couple of level 1 class because it emphasizes form.
I aim to take 5 or 6 classes each week. Even at this frequency, I still cannot see all my favorite Pilates instructors. They are wonderful, and firm, and kind, and funny. They keep the classes fun but always with an eye for our form and abilities. It is the wonderful instructors and their training and their abilities which sets RTR Pilates apart. I intend to take Pilates classes at RTR Pilates for life.

Love this place! Great, challenging but fun classes with a neighborhood feeling.

RTR Pilates is outstanding because of the instructors. Each teacher takes a special interest in the students and makes you feel like "the one and only". I really value the community spirit at RTR Pilates!

I had just signed up for the 30-day introductory offer because it is a really good deal. Signing up for classes is very simple and convenient. Reminder e-mails are valuable to me and makes it easier to keep track of sessions. Also the offer really makes you commit to working out every day to get your money's worth. I am highly considering getting a membership, and the points system is nice as well.

I really enjoyed my afternoon class with Margaret. Since I wasn't a regular, she greeted me and asked me a couple of questions. Throughout the exercise she gave me some attention and really went out of her way to help me with my positioning. Plus she plays great music. On my way out, she complimented my form and really encouraged me.

Overall, this is an enjoyable experience. It is a good break throughout the craziness of the day. If you are a first timer, I recommend going a bit early to get some of the basics. The classes tend to just jump right into the exercises, so it is easy to get confused. Fortunately, I had taken pilates before, just not at this location. Clean, relaxing studio.

As a Pilates lover for over 3 years, this place is hands down the best in DC for group reformer Pilates classes. The instructors know what they're doing and truly care about each client they see. I live in Woodley Park and the Palisades is just 3 miles from me, so it's very convenient and easy to get to! Love RTR Pilates!

Love the instructors and how easy it is to sign up for classes. Very welcoming to beginners and for experienced pilates goers, the intermediate and advanced classes can challenge you in a good way

I attend class at RTR 3-5 times per week, and I cannot say enough positive things about it. All the instructors are excellent, and you have many options to tailor each class to your level. The instructors are constantly introducing new moves so that you do not get bored. My strength and flexibility have greatly increased since starting Pilates classes, and working on the reformer is much better than floor Pilates. I highly recommend RTR.
