The environment at the studio is very welcoming and warm. I get really great instruction and encouragement, all of which makes me feel good as well as motivated to keep coming back!

Mandy is so knowledgeable, welcoming, consistent, thoughtful! I would HIGHLY recommend taking classes or private sessions at BodyMechanics, very good value for the money. I particularly love the momma/baby options.

The Relaxed Activation class is a fun stretch - both physically and and stylistically. One part play, one part anatomy and one part mindfulness it's a great midweek reset for my brain and body.

Absolutely love Body Mechanics Pilates. For someone who suffers from lower back issues from activities as innocent as sleeping on your stomach, reformer workouts are the key to staying active and physically fit while preventing extra strain in those problem areas.

I can't recommend Body Mechanics Pilates, everyone really should give it a try at least.

Both Dr Molly and Jay have been doing amazing work to my body. I have been feeling so much better. Jay has an incredible knowledge about the human body and his massage therapy has been very effective. He knows exactly where to find the sore spots and how to fix them. I love going to this place.

This is my favorite pilates studio in Portland! Not only is it fully equipped with everything you need for great work out but it is also a healing sanctuary filled with beautiful art and uplifting energy. The teacher's guide each class with expertise and give attention to each person, making sure our movements are safe and effective. I If you need extra care to rehabilitate an injury or have imbalances from scoliosis, these classes are extremely helpful! Both Mandy and Tracy have been wonderful teachers, helping me to cultivate greater awareness and love with my body. I always enjoy the warm welcome and community vibes that I receive here.

So much more than a pilates studio, Body Mechanics is a community of professionals with deep knowledge and love for the human body. For more than a decade, I've come here to be challenged, inspired, and healed.

We have been part of the Body Mechanics Community since it's early days. This is an incredible community of practitioners - Pilates, Chiropractic, Aesthetics, Massage, Energy Work. We have been pleased with every service we have used here. We attend private Pilates lessons weekly - which is a little retreat for the body and soul. We've had a few instructors over the years - and there is always a kind hand-off between instructors ensuring a good match. Body Mechanics feels like home. Family friendly, kind, informed by the client's needs.

The studio is a special place to be a part of!!!!! The owner and teachers are personable, knowledgeable and give great classes.

I was lucky that one of the teachers did a maternity class, and I did pilates during my whole pregnancy. I attribute pilates by my good labor experience.

I have recommend this studio to many because I enjoy it that much.

Mandy and the other teachers and healers at Body Mechanics are amazing. Mandy will remember your name and how you're feeling after just one class and even if it's a few weeks or months later. Working with Mandy for private pilates lessons has been transformative helping me with my lower back pain. I would recommend Body Mechanics for anyone looking to feel better inside and out.

I can't imagine life without Body Mechanics. I've been going weekly for roughly 10 years to help work through some injures and keep me limber and strong. Mandy respects my injures and limitations and doesn't have me "push through them" like other trainers might. Even when I don't feel like going, I always walk out feeling refreshed and renewed and an inch or so taller.

I've been a client of Body Mechanics for over four years and there isn't anything I don't love about the studio. The instructors are knowledgeable, experienced, and most importantly fun. Each one is invested in helping me meet my goals and each one is sensitive to my particular needs.

Besides pilates, Mandy's energy work is extraordinary. The longer I am a client of Body Mechanics, the more I learn about my body, my self, and how to unlock patterns and understand the relationship between body, mind, and spirit.

Jay is a great massage therapist. He's one of the only people I trust to work on me while I'm injured. He's very adept at knowing what's beneficial and what's not.
I've been seeing Jay for a few years now and couldn't recommend him more.

I've been working with Jay as a martial artist and massage client for over fifteen years and am constantly impressed by the breadth of his knowledge and the pace with which he adds to it. As a martial artist and teacher he is always pushing me in new directions while at the same time exploring the relationship between these new experiences and what I (thought I) already knew. As an anatomist and therapist he is constantly reshaping his approach in response to changes in my body and his knowledge and never fails to execute with a loving, intuitive touch.

Jay has an incredible ability to know when to use a soft touch and when to dig in deep. I've had quite a number of masseurs work on me throughout the years and his knowledge is unsurpassed. I'd recommend him to anyone, hands down.

I have been visiting Jay Twitchell for massage therapy treatments for many years. I've been fortunate to meet many high level massage practitioners in my life and Jay is one of the best. His knowledge, experience and manner are second to none. The knowledge and skills of the teachers and therapists at Body Mechanics are all highly recommended.
Do yourself a favor and get a tune up, you'll be glad you did.

Very clear and articulate instruction aimed at the points of concern I cited when we began. Enough repetition to achieve competence but not so much as to result in boredom. endless positive support for effort never ridicule for falling short of perfection. Would recommend wholeheartedly without reservation

Jay is one of the best people I've ever worked with through out the years of my martial arts journey. Being my movement coach, Jay has helped me accomplished a lot of physical goals I have as a martial artist and as a dancer. Every time his students need a massage Jay is always there. His massages has saved many of our bodies from breaking down.

Body Mechanics is a dream! I started by going to a series of three private sessions with Mandy and then made my way to group classes. The studio is incredibly welcoming. I have absolutely no Pilates experience (beyond attempting a few online classes in my own living room) and felt comfortable the moment I opened the studio doors. Group classes are still very small and personalized. The instructors here really care and are exceedingly kind and helpful. I highly recommend Body Mechanics!

I've patronized this studio for years because of the very knowledgeable and accepting teachers and practitioners, and the beautiful space. They really know what they are doing and have helped my bad back a lot! If you want to get your core in shape or are trying work around a longtime physical issue, I highly recommend this place.

I have been going to Sara for years now for waxing and facials. (I have followed her wherever she goes over the years.) The facial products she uses are awesome as is the entire facial experience. I love the entire space as it is soothing and comfortable. I highly recommend Body Mechanics!
