This is hands-down the best Pilates studio I've ever been to, not just in Seattle but anywhere. I'd been doing other Pilates styles (Stott, BASI, etc.) for several years before coming to Metropolitan, and everything I'd done before paled in comparison to the Classical method taught there. The studio is co-owned by Dorothee Vandewalle, who trained directly with Romana Kryzanowska and now runs a world-renowned teacher training program herself. The teachers at the studio are graduates of that rigorous program, so everyone you work with has years of experience and is able to tailor your workout to your body, ability, and needs. I can't agree with the reviewer below who felt out of place - I'm not the most athletic type myself, and I've seen students of all ages, sizes, and abilities work out at the studio. There's absolutely no judgement and some of the teachers have even shared with me about their own "problem areas" such as tight hip flexors or stiff lower back.
I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't benefit from properly taught Classical Pilates, and Metropolitan Pilates is the perfect place for it.
